I just got my first sale last night through a one-page site that I put together about four months ago. I'm pretty excited because the site's not getting much traffic but the traffic that it is getting is converting. The only thing that sucks is that is was all low-priced products that were purchased and so my total earnings on it were only $1.45 =p Can't complain though because the site's ranked on page one for the keyword phrase I chose.
Congratulations and what a nice feeling it is. It was probably one customer who just got carried away a bit various products. If you can repeat this process for more expensive products then, you'll do alright with Amazon and other affiliate programs. Well Done Mark
Congratulations! Getting your first sale is always very exciting. I do hope that the customer wasn't a fraud as it seems a bit odd for someone to purchase 29 items at one time, especially when they are all low priced. The good news is that I believe Amazon won't penalize you for anything except your commission should the sale turn out to be fraudulent. Nice to have that kind of protection. Hopefully you can keep this going and start bringing in some serious revenue!
You never forget your first time... A lot of people pooh-pooh low-priced items, but they can be consistent sellers. If you wait around for big-ticket items all the time, it can be painful. Remember brick & mortar stores generally make more over the long run selling accessories than major items.
now you only need to repeat the process to make tons of money and try adding more content to your site as it may have potential for something big thanx
They bought various shoe laces in different colors. It doesn't look like fraud as my next purchase which I received today was for a few different shoe laces in different colors, too. Thanks for the encouragement everyone. Now I just gotta build some more links I guess.
Great start, well done Low priced items are good as they are easy to sell, and help you reach the next level of commission.. so it is good to have a balance of expensive and cheap products
