I feel great, Its finally happend.

Its happend, I'm happy, I feel GREAT.

Ok Im a little excited, I just got my first affiliate sale from my sites, Ive posted all the details about it on my blog "one mans road to affiliate success/failure" if anyone is interested the blog is next to my username in this post.

I know its still very early days and I may not get another sale for months but I would like to thank everyone on this forum, its a very friendly forum and lots of members are very willing to share tips and advice.

I've learnt so much from this forum over the past month I dont know what I would of done with out it.

 

Your welcome and welcome to the forum, hope you make a lot of future sales and tell us all how you did it.

 

Congratulations! Here's to many more sales!

 

Good job...Free drinks for everybody

A journey of a thousand miles starts with the first step, got your walking shoes on David?

 

I was afraid to read this thread because of the title....

I remember my first sale. I was giddy with excitement. Got all ready to quit my job!

 

Well if he can make .85 cents a million times a year he would not be doing bad.

It is just a matter of duplicating that success a hell of a lot of times (need millions of visitors).

 

my first affilate lead was couple of bucks,but still big enough to keep me motivated, it's good to see any results i guess

 

Oh yes thoughts of lying on a tropical beach, letting your little electronic slave make your money while you sip on a cocktail lol

I remember my first adsense click. It was a golden day!

 

Congratulations! I bet there is more sales to come from you. =)

 

I am glad to see that my affiliate program is working fine and getting a few bucks for every lead. Adsense.. umm doing good. But want some more from affiliate. I guess my blog is stuffed by affil ads.. lol

 

85 cents? I don't know if I should laugh or cry...

 

It's a great feeling. Certainly motivates one to want to do more, doesn't it. Just keep measuring the effectiveness of all your marketing strategies and constantly tweaking and monitoring. And don't forget to dig through your web server log stats looking for new opportunities.

Interesting post in your blog, the "Buy Low, Sell High" experiment.
cheers,

 

It was actually 85p thats 0.85 GBP which is about $1.50 but that is not the point, the point is that it was my first affiliate sale, when you see your first sale its great, It makes you think that it might actually work, my income has been increasing rather rapidly actually and it looks like I will be averaging $15 a day if everything stays as it is now.

 

Yeah, Ive tried it again allthough im not going to document it, I tried something called goclick or go2 cant remember which, $15 in and about $10 out.

Its a bit of a naff system imo and requires too much monitoring.

He says 10K in 12 months...let me tell you that isn't feasible...I know because I have studies affiliate marketing and I know first hand that such revenues are exceedingly rare, and you wont get that kind of revenue sellling such low end good anyway. You will need lots more traffic, etc. And improve the site.

 

You keep thinking that and you wont earn that kind of money.

Im allready generating more revenue than that in my other business (highly competetive market) and I know about setting targets and working hard to get there.

Who said anything about low end goods?
The goods my first site is selling isn't low end stuff, a normal basket is $100 - $200 and I get 10% of that.

People like yourself probably don't reach these kind of goals, I see it everyday and thats because they dont put the kind of work in to get there.

 

well done matt, any success, is not failure. <period>
