Thank and praise God. My First Sale :)
So today I logged on to WA and looked at my super affiliate stats. I wasn't expecting much.
Sadly, the past month hadn't been so kind to me. I only had 8 clicks and that was it. I had written close to 30 articles and my funnel was looking mighty fine. Well it was WA that made the funnel so what do you expect right?
Had 4 subscribers and they're very annoying. For some reason they don't want to buy anything. A little bit like me i guess. Though I was smart enough to get a membership here at WA. You've got to give me credit for that.
Anyway, I looked at the quick stats, and there were 3 clicks just today... what a shocker. 8 the whole of last month and 3 today? A bit of a spike don't you think?
NO SALE THOUGH. NOT ONE STINKING SALE.
So, having seen a boost in traffic, I logged on to clickbank to see if traffic was healthy for my other 2 campaigns. And for the first time on my own computer screen I saw a pretty green bar with today's date telling me I had a US$ 50 commission.I was more confused and astonished than happy, but since then the joy of making my first sale has started to sink in.
I want to thank Louise. M here at WA for helping me with some of my troubles with article marketing. I'm pretty sure it was her advice on keyword selection that paid off.
Thank you Louise, Thank you WA, and Thank you God.
I'm off to go make more sales.
I noticed that you said that you are using the WA funnel, so am I. As I completed the action plan, I found out that the purpose of the funnel was to use high traffic but low competition keywords such as those related to make money online, work at home, or home business =, as these buyers know they want to make some money online, but they don't know exactly what they are looking for, and this is where the funnel comes in.
Since doing so, I have done alot of keyword research and have found many keywords that are just that, low competition and high traffic, and also related to those topics. If you haven't already, check out the action plan and you will see what i'm talking about. I was previously finding targeted and specific keywords and I have began to build a list with the funnel using that approach, but no sales.
So, with the new approach of using the high traffic/low competition and relevant keywords, who knows what will happen. I just figured I would share! Congrats on your first sale man.
thanks guys. I remember the posts of frustration and so on leading up to this and I'm certain there will be more, but I won't give up. :)
