Keep it up!

[le_gber]

Well done ;)

Was it through an ecommerce site or the affiliate site in your profile?

The first sales on a site is a nice feeling! Keep it up - lovely looking site!

[nakulgoyal]

I too got some sales on my SEO websites. :-)

First day I made a sale online it was a 0.25c commission from Amazon. That same day I built a PC, configured it and sold it for a not unreasonable sum of money. I was on more of a buzz over the 25 cents than I was over the 4 figure computer sale. People take drugs for a high like that, I'm told.

Way to go macrost :) (you too nakugoyal)

My sales have climbed about 50% higher in November. But we have a B2B site with manufacturing software and I have attributed it to the economy getting better and departments in companies using up their budgets before the end of the year.

Thank you to everyone! Update, two days after I made another! *Trying to not get excited!* ;)

It's the start of a long and hopefully prosperous road - good luck :)

I made $0.30 on my aff then it fell off of Google 2 weeks after it got there. Maybe it was just a new site boost and will go up eventualy.

[rfung]

You guys are funny, seriously :)

Getting happy with 0.30 sale. But that makes me funny too, cuz I made $15 3 months ago,and now I'm thinking I'll be rich in the next 3 months :) How funny is _that_? :)

Since I started out on E**y I only used to get two or three sales a month through the shop site till I optimised for the se's and built links - once I figured it - out we were away literally overnight. Now I'm doing 20 -30 sales a day and am considering employing a cleaner! I still can't believe it...when the G serps went awry I thought, the golden goose had kicked the bucket, but happily it hasn't happened yet.

[rfung]

Miop: is this sales, or affiliate links?

[Miop]

Sales - I have no affliate links yet - my new shopping cart has a facility for signing up affilates so I might start that when it's up and running after Christmas.

[nakulgoyal]

rfung, It's not the sale amount that makes people excite. It's just that people are looking at their work and it's working. :-)

It indeed is exciting. When I got my first online sale years back, I can't tell how happy I was. I just went online and saw money into my Paypal. And that client is working with me still. I don't want to loose my FIRST ever customer at any cost. :-)

[macrost]

and two more... :-)

[rfung]

Okay, I confess..I made $6 this past week and I am happy :)

My emails to friends and family about the $6 made me sound like a ranting lunatic:)

I'm really excited, the traffic isnt even here, so I am absolutely positive I'm gonna be making some decent money in the next 2-3 months.

[Miop]

When I first started business I had a little pasting table with some things on it - I sold something for £1, my first ever sale, and it was the biggest kick I ever had!
It can only get better...

[jaleel]

I make my first sale within 2 days list item in ebay :)) i guess that doesnt count.

My real first website sales was 8 month after launch, now i get 2-3 orders / day . all this without any optimization on keyword or anything. even the website keyword is still with the original keyword for phpnuke :O.

:(( i know i can do better if i optimize my keywords since I have 1 of the best site for my niche market. Over 1800 Hour of original recording.

Happy Holidays!

[nakulgoyal]

Happy LONG weekend to everybody. Probably this is the BIGGEST weekend for most of the people. :-)

Congrats macrost , may this be the start towards 10k/month goal :)

I still remember the first time i got a sale ...thats in early 2000 , the total check i got in my first month was a paltry $50 - but as nakulgoyal said its not the money but the great feeling that this "Web" thing works and people will trust and buy from your suggestions!
