First Sale, well actually...

    So I signed up for clickbank about a year ago. I already had just created a site that matched a niche, so I added a hoplink. I really don't have that much time to devote to this, so I sort of lost interest. I checked one day and saw that I had made a sale with a $45 commission. When I realized I had to get multiple sales before I got my check I was bummed. After many months of not doing anything, clickbank sent me a check, for $28. They had been taking a dollar off a month. Well it was still cash.

    Lately I have been following this forum really closely and slowly building up my momentum to do more. I've learned a lot. I learned that you have to promote your landing page or you just won't get traffic, and you guys have shown me how to promote.

    I decided that I was going to stop watching and start getting to work. June is going to be my month to get organized and start. I checked my clickbank account this morning and I had two sales in May. Woo Hoo.
    I'm definitely on board now. I really want to make some extra cash to make my life a little better.

    My question is... Will clickbank still hold me to getting four or five sales (whatever it is) before sending me a check, or since they have already sent me a check in the past will they send me my check for my two sales in May?

    Anyway, I'll keep everyone informed of how my progress is going, but I don't want to get sucked into just watching, I need to start doing.

    After you get your first check, ClickBank will continue to send you checks as long as you meet your threshold. If you want to stop getting checks right now, set your threshold to a higher number, like $200 or more, so you'll only get a check after you cross that number.

    Congratulations and good luck,

    Keep up the positive attitude and you'll see your numbers grow slowly, but surely. Remain focused on what your goals are and you will accomplish whatever it is you set your mind to.

    Yep, just keep at it. There will be ups and downs. I did almost the same thing...tried a few things, made one sale, kinda forgot about it, and then a month later got another sale after not putting any effort into. And that is when I decided to put effort into it!

    Thank you for the words of encouragement. I'm putting my nose to the grinding stone and busting out content.

    yes i remember when i first started it was discouraging because having to get 5 customers with a visa , paypal and a mastercard seemed hard at the moment but it was relatively easy with work. good luck to you and keep working hard those checks will get much bigger with dedication and work.

    Hey there, congratulations on getting sales without even trying :p As far as I know, you only need to get the 5 purchases thing for the first payout.

    congrats on your sales made. Good luck for the rest of the journey.
    I've never heard of such cases like yours before, but i do hope they'll send you your money. But first, you have to meet your threshold sum of whatever amount you have set.
