After all the worrying, whinning and overall just about giving up. I woke up this morning and thought oh nah there is no point in checking my clickbank, Then I decided what the hell why not. What did I find when I logged in? $33.90 Now I am motiviated. First of all I want to thank God and then all of you guys that have helped me get my first sale this is a great community. Thank you Thank you
Congrats man! Way to go! I still remember how glad i was to receive my first check! Remember you need to make atleast 5 sales in different credit cards to get your first check! Nothing to worry! Work more to earn more! All the best!
Oh don't get me wrong I want to get paid, but I am just as excited to get the first sale. Now I just have to try and find where it came from. Funny thing is the stats show 0 hops, but I know the link that brought it in.
GREAT JOB BRO! I know exactly how you feel! Now at least you know that it's actually possible!! Its just a matter of fine tuning your stuff to get more sales. Here's a tip: Give every keyword in your campaign it's own tracking ID. That way when a sale comes thru you'll know exactly what keyword got you the sale, and you can spend a little more ppc on that word, or write another ad group that emphasizes that word. Does that make sense? Keep up the good work!! P.S. - Once you have some steady $$ coming in from CB check out BANS. I just started my BANS on Sunday and already got a sale from that! It's funny too beacause I hated the way my site looked, and wasnt even done with it when $$ started coming in. lol
These posts make me feel young again - that first sale is enough to make you feel like a millionaire (mentally), you just proved that all this crap works! $33.90 - i'm guessing you're promoting the sat.TV product with that precise payout - be-careful those have high refunds, and I got in trouble with google for promoting them (was pushing 20-30 a week). Hops on CB are not working at the moment (sales are but tracking is messed). You should have a counter/analytics tool on your lander and match up sales by location/time from CB + your stats. Once you get enough sales you can analyze your most popular and best converting campaigns, cities, times, keys/ID's, etc. and narrow in your profitable marketing even more... Again congrats for popping your cherry NC.
yea I have analytics and I use my awstats as well. No it was actually on a download site. For movie downloads, I am staying away from the satpc thing I bought one on ebay and it is a real piece sorry if I offend anyone but that satpc thing is a bad product. I am going to do some more fine tuning on the site today, and add some more tracking to my links, as I know the click came from my site but that product is listed a couple of times on my site and I am not sure which page the click came from. Thanks for the encouragement. It is a pretty exciting day Oh by the way I have not used any adwords. this was all organic
Analytics works very well for tracking especially all your affiliates as well if you are a publisher.
Congrats and let me give you the best advice you will ever get: Remove your niche from your signature.
Congratulations WVStephens! I am sure you will make more by keeping up the good work! Thanks for sharing with us to get more people motivated!
haha. reading the first post, i was thinking that you're promoting the sat. pc or the movie download site (there are two). and i was right. keep it up bro. keep promoting.
