Woo Hoo! I sold a book!

    I've been pretty much inactive in setting up a way to use amazon links in any fashion - I tried out ghostscripter with high hopes, but it's just a problematic application with zero support.

    I just started doing a few things like on this page: http://www.bkweddings.com/wedding-gifts/wine_glasses.html - with a brief summary and some image links to books related to my articles... and today I sold a book.

    Yeah, it's just one book. But everyone has to start somewhere :).

    Yeah, my first amazon sale felt really good.

    Still a looong way before I reach the minimum payout amount, but what the heck, I don't have amazon income as a priority right now...

    My first amazon sale was a book too, which I may add, was totally unrelated to what I was advertising. Ah, the power of cookies! ;)

    You just got me to check mine, I'm seeing:
    Clicks: 167
    Items Ordered: 8
    Items Dispatched: 0
    Money: 0.00

    Does that mean 8 people have added stuff to their cart but never checked out?

    No it means they ordered 8 things, but you are SOL because amazon hasn't shipped them! (Or it could mean that you ordered 8 things since you don't get paid for your own orders.

    Cheers nevetS, yeah it was probably me then as I'm sure I've ordered at least 8 books in the last quarter.
