The Hot Tub Sale
I had made a post in General Marketing Discussion about your favourite sale and many mentioned I should blog the post. So here goes!
I got the opportunity to spend some time down south in Lagrange, Georgia to work on my golf game and at the same time work online. I had been building this site for about 2 weeks before I left for a month. The site went live the day before I left and I spent my off hours down south marketing the site.
I had some sporadic sales throughout the month, then it really kicked in gear. I started making 2 to 3 sales a day on average with a few nice days in there.
The best part was this (the story):
I had made 2 sales early on in the day, I played a round of golf - no sales, ate dinner - no sales. I had a pretty bad kink in my neck/upper back and hit the hot tub. I came back in to a nice $27 sale. I thought to myself "how amazing is this, I made a little over $27 while relaxing in a hot tub". Now I mentioned there was a lot of hard work up front, but how cool is it when you are doing something you really enjoy in life and make a little money while doing it.
It's the little successes and steps along the way that counts. Work hard, enjoy the journey, and once you end up on top of the world (because you will) - you can really look back in enjoyment.
