My First Cj Sale

    Since halloween is around the corner I was thinking about what I could sell. Since CJ has a whole lot of advertisers I went over there and yes costumes seemed to be the obvious choice.

    So i set up a simple website sometime last week selling a few batman costumes (took about 6 to 7 hours work) and left it as it is. The site got indexed in google the next day and two days later I find that I sold a top of the line Batman Grand Heritage Costumes for which the price is $439. So my commission was about $44. This was through just organic traffic with no ppc involved and only 6 hours of work. And guess what the next day I had another batman costume sale but it was a $37 costume so my commission was about $4. Just thought I would make this post as it is my first ever attempt at selling anything on CJ. Below is an attachment of the sale

    yeah i should have started earlier. As I mentioned there was no advertising invloved. I just set up the site, it got indexed and traffic came through.

    Good stuff. Funny enough, my son is also looking for a new costume for trick & treating this friday. Not sure if he's going for a Batman costume or what although he's a big fanatic of the new Dark Knight movie. Do you have a link to your site? Or any site with good discounts on halloween costumes?

    That is great to get sales with your first try, especially with a topic like that and a brand new site. Could you link your site so we may see it?

    Thanks guys for your encouragement. I really appreciate it. I can't give you the link to my site but I did tell you what niche it was and even the product I sold. I have also started building a few sites for christmas targeting a few small niches but with high commissions.

    jodyq-> Thanks for letting me know about Cyber Monday. I am not quite familiar with the holidays in the US as I am from India and I will surely look into it.
