What Happened?


Well, I got my first sale on the 13th of October 2009. I also received about 5 more sales after that. About 1 a day until the 19th. Then, I don't know what happened? I got one more sale on the 22nd and then....... Nothing? I think I got a little too happy and started changing things on my website to see if I couldn't improve on the sales? Well, it hasn't worked. I mean, I didn't change much.... Well, I guess what I learned at this point.... Don't change anything when you're getting sales until you've received a lot of data. I made the mistake of changing things too quick and to make things worse I didn't save any of my previous work! So, I don't know what was working! Big Lesson!

Well, I purchased this great program that tells me where I'm getting clicks and how many. It's called Crazy Egg. I couldn't be happier! I did discover that most of my clicks were on the top left of my page on some Ebooks that I just kinda threw over there. I haven't gotten any sales from them and they're just wasting space on my page so I deleted them. I wouldn't have gotten much money from them anyway and I think they kinda could ruin my credibility since they weren't that good. Anyway, off to testing, testing, testing!!!

Until Next Post............... God Bless!

First Sale!!!!!!

I'm so excited! I just got my first sale today ! It's been a while since I've posted. I guess I was just starting to get a little too frustrated. However, all my hard work has paid off! It's only $30. But, I'm going to perform a lot of testing over the next week to see if I can't improve on the sales.

I had basically been working on a pay-per-click campaign. I followed everything from the Wealthy Affiliate teaching and finally made my first sale. The information that is provided speaks for itself. I've tried a lot of programs. But, none like this that is so helpful. The people are great and genuinely want to help. I think we all pretty much realize that if we help each other it all will eventually come back to you.

Anyway! i just had to make this post for the record!!!

Frusterated!

Today I'm growing increasingly frustrated! I think this is the time that most IM's quit?! This is not a choice for me however. This has become an addiction. I'm completely obsessed with IM. I'm not sure what the people who have quit have felt? I just can't remember a time I wasn't thinking about IM and can't imagine quitting?

My wife is now becoming obsessed also. This is good for me. Otherwise, I think she'd be going crazy with how often I'm on the computer. We're going to have to purchase another laptop since we're both working so hard at it.

We did get our first sales. However, it was from family members needing plane tickets and computer hardware.

I'm going to continue to educate myself with Wealthy Affiliate and Shoemoney. I just can't get enough info! But, If I don't take ACTION then this is all for not. I mean, I have been taking action.... But, from what I've read.... Not enough! These guys stress working hard! This is a very hard business. So, unless you are a crazy computer/Internet junkie? I would not recommend it for you. If you are? There is nothing more fun... Even if you don't sell. That will just be the icing on the cake.

Well, back to work! Until next post.... God Bless!
