Another First Sale Thread - Encouragement For everyone still waiting...

    Yeah I know not another one...but I enjoy reading other people's experiences so I thought I would share mine.

    I just recently started article marketing, PPC just isn't my thing even though I was making a bit of money from it. Mostly because most of my money is tied up with my main project which I am getting started (not IM related). So I didn't have much of a bankroll to play with.

    I have only submitted 6 articles, 5 of which are in the dieting niche. This is where my sale came from. Just goes to show nothing is too saturated to make a sale.

    Nothing fancy in the articles, just doing keyword research, writing articles that make sense and just doing a 'for more information' type resource box. As you can see this has given me an average of 29% CTR, some articles are better than others. I can't be bothered checking why because I'm lazy.

    I have a domain for my lander. The lander is just a two product comparison, I make it clear which one I prefer to provide so it doesn't look just like pure sales ramble. I've started getting a SE traffic, which is where the sale came from.

    My plan is to just write an article every time I get bored and see what happens. I really enjoy the delayed reward and hope over time (probably quite a while) I can build up a steady extra income stream.

    Good luck to all that haven't had their first sale yet. It will come sooner rather than later hopefully.

    Ok this is really starting to get freaky...in a good way.

    [​IMG]

    Just got another sale, 3 sales in a bit over a 24hour period.

    I'm trying to narrow down which keyword the sales are coming from, not easy with no conversion tracking.

    This always seems to happen to me with affiliate sales, I remember when I first started up an adult site I made $400 in 1 day and then not a single dime since. I hope that doesn't continue with this. Anyone else had similar experiences?

    Daaaaaamn dude, that's a 60% conversion rate.

    If you keep this up, you'll be the world's top affiliate in no time... never heard of anyone getting that high of a conversion rate before...

    Thanks, but I'm putting it down to beginners luck and MSN traffic ;) .

    I'm working on doing something with lemonarian's ideas in his latest guide (Thanks for that dude was a good read). If all goes to plan and it works ill let you know.

    If I can give any advice to people reading this that haven't acted on any of these guides that people write, just do it.

    You can only learn so much from reading the rest has to be done by doing.

    Words of wisdom.

    I just went through a thread about someone asking for more ebooks because they all give you "the basics".

    But when you learn the basics, you have to start working on your own strategies and find what works for you!


    Congratulations on your first 3 sales in 24 hours. Don't get discouraged if it doesn't always work like this, just keep plugging away!
