Hi Soo. I didn't do anything special to earn my first sales in my first month. I basically set up a schedule to do between 3 to 5 Squidoo lens each day and follow the Squidoo Optimization tecniques you will learn from here. As to what to sell, you can basically sell anything. Try looking for a good ebook to sell from Clickbank, that's a good easy start. Plan to write at least 10 lens per Niche. You can find my daily schedule from my WA Space blog. Don't worry, even if it seems like nothing you're doing is making a sale just keep going. The sales will come, that's a guarantee.

Hi Soo, just finished visiting your Squidoo lens. If this really is your first Squidoo lens, I've only got one word for you....WOW. Very proffesionally written, you've really followed Carson and Kyle's Squidoo Optimization guide well. I can't think of anything to improve it but you might want to consider adding a Youtube vid. Google loves Youtube and I noticed that my lens that contain a Youtube vid tends to rank better. Also don't forget to social bookmark your lens. I use Social Poster (www.socialposter.com). Without social bokmarking it's gonna take ages for the lens to rank in Google. You can also go to Squidutils (www.squidutils.com) to check you lens health to see if it is properly optimized.
Hey, congrats. You've taken your first step to IM fame.

Hi Soo, Digging and Stumbling your lens is part of Social Bookmarking. Actually StumbleUpon is an excellent Bookmarking site. If you visit Social Poster (www.socialposter.com) you'll find a whole list of social bookmarking sites that you can post your lens to. You'd have to sign up an account for these sites first which will take a lot of your time initially but after that, going thru the list takes only about 15 minutes. What I usually do is wait for my lens to get listed in Squidoo (when it is no longer red colour in your Squidoo Stats page) beofre I Social Bookmark. What this does is create backlinks to your lens which will raise its ranking in Google.

Don't forget to Favourite them and give me some 5 stars ;)

Hi Tim! Thanks for your warm welcome! :) Wow, you managed to make money in the first month? That's cool! What is your advice for a fresh newbie like me? Where to start? What to sell? Thank you in advance for your tips. ;)

Hey Tim, thanks for the great tips. I am aware of the importance of squidoo lens, but have yet to produce one. May be I should try to write one this week. Have a good weekend! :)

hi Tim, how you're doing? I have started a squidoo lens for wealthyaffiliate.com. So far i have written some intro stuffs, I have more to add to the lens in the coming few days, basically to list out the different benefits of joining WA from a newbie's perspective. Would you mind pay a visit there when you have time, and give me some feedback to improve it? :-) Thank you in advance!

Hello Tim, thanks for dropping my squidoo lens and leaving a 'promotional' message there. :) Thanks also for your suggestions about adding video to my lens and to social bookmark them. One question: what do you mean by social bookmarking my lens? Digg it and stumble upon it myself?

What squidoo lens do you have? Can I visit them? :)

Thanks Tim! I didn't know much about social bookmarking before this. Now I know.... :)
I will visit your lenses soon, I'm sure I will learn a great deal from them. I'll update you when I have more lenses to show, okay?

Hi TJ, nice to meet you. Thanks for the "20 steps to Internet Marketing" article. :)

Thanks Soo for your kind msg.

In fact you get every IM tip on earth in the WA Knowledge Bank! There is no short-cut as such. Believe me I struggled over 2 years wasting my money and energy on some useless stuff and programs. You're fortunate you've started your IM business on the right path.

Only thing you have to do is follow the WA 8 week plan meticulously and you're no more an IM Newbie on the contrary ONLINE SUCCESS!!

Wishing you every success. Cheers.

Hi Alfred, thanks for dropping by my space. Any tips for a internet marketing newbie? :)

Thanks for the advice and good wishes, Alfred. :)

Hi Sylviane, nice meeting you. Looks like we both have been doing lots of writing for a living. I wish you all the best in IM (and myself too)! :-)

Hi Soo....nice to meet you. My IM biz? Still working hard at it. Wasn't as easy as I thought it might be, but it's very interesting and rewarding. My advise to if you are new...don't make the mistake most of us did, i.e to try and learn from to many resources.I wasted 8 months and lots of ringgit doing that and the net result was I became thoroughly confused. Choose 1 and stick to it....once you have some degree of success...then go on and see what others are doing. WA is a great place to learn. Need help, no problem...just PM me and I'll give you my mail.
Success to you.
Kuma

Hi Kuma! Nice to meet you. How are you doing in IM so far? Hope I can learn a thing or two from you. :)
