Made my first affiliate sales ! :D

    I finally made my first affiliate sale today.
    After trying out various affiliate products for my niche, and bringing a total of over 1000+ hits on all the products that I tried to sale, I used a new product since few days ago... and today I was happy to see... around 300 views for that product.. and 1 buy. Yeah I know the conversion rate is low.. but I'm gonna work on it.
    Bringing so many targeted traffic to the affiliate products and not making a single sale.. made me think I was cursed or something.. cursed to never make a single affiliate sale :D .
    I know 1 sale is nothing... but it feels really good because it's a first time this happens.. I made 10$.. gonna put more work on it... to make more tasty crispy doe :D.

    I'm buying everyone on this forum a round of beer because you've all been so helpful !

    No.. i'm not selling beer glasses.. I wanted to buy everyone here a beer :D
    I'm selling mostly weight loss and body-building supplements and books, because it's a topic I can say I'm an expert in.
    The sale that I made was from an muscle building e-book, and it was running its own indepedent affiliate program.
    I have an account on cj.com and I'm trying to make some sales there too, so I checked my cj.com account today.. I couldn't believe it, I made a sale there too!!! The product was around 18 $ so I made like 2 $ bucks on it but that doesn't matter.
    But I got 2 sales in one day!! I couldn't get a single sale in a whole month. It feels great.
    However I competely change my approach for affiliate sales 2-3 days ago and the new approach seems to be doing much better.

    I'm not using pay per click, I have no expenses at all,
    I just write a lot of articles, make some hubpages for my products based on a keyword, do a lot of social bookmarking. All free marketing :D
