First Sale - Less Than ONE WEEK after starting…

May 28th, 2008

It’s been an interesting week here in Zoe Land.

Obviously, I haven’t updated this blog as often as I would like… AND I promise I will get around to step 2 TODAY (feel free to send me mean tweets if I don’t)

Now, for some reason, I have had zero motivation to get on and write articles, after the massively productive week last week.. I have only about 18 articles online now, and still haven’t gotten around to the blog. But the hub and Squidoo lens are both active and getting hits.

The law of attraction

On Thursday I was listening to the CD of “the secret” and it said “just believe that it will happen, don’t keep running back to your bank account to check how much money you have, just believe it will be there”..

So I stopped checking Clickbank and my affiliate links.. For a few days

I logged on this morning, went to the thirty day challenge links tracker, noticed I have had alot of referral hits and I thought hmmm… check Clickbank? Yes! First sale!!!

What did I do right?

I followed the procedure exactly as I wrote out on the first day.. But a bit slower than I would have liked.

Aka socially bookmarked articles linking to content rich Squidoo review page.

All of my articles link to my Squidoo page, and everything is socially bookmarked to within an inch of its life. Yes it takes AGES to do that to 18 articles. Hours. Probably why I got a bit bored of the whole thing this week.

Tell ya what though… A Sale is a GREAT motivator! Yet me!

What did I do wrong?

Aaah… yes, I made sooo many mistakes.

But only one majorly sticks out in my mind.

I know what product was sold with my affiliate link… But I have NO IDEA where it came from. The worst part? I don’t know how to find out where it came from….

Suggestions anyone? I’ll be posting the same question on the Wealthy Affiliate Forum in 2 minutes.

So there you go…

It truly does “work”. I just need it to work 10 times as often and I’ll be in business.

    If you want to track say for example your clickbank sales…clickbank has a tracking id (tid) that you can use to track where your sales.

    HERES A STEP BY STEP

    GO TO CLICKBANK MARKETPLACE (JUST CLICK ON MARKETPLACE)
    SELECT A PRODUCT TO PROMOTE (IN YOUR CASE THE ONE THAT MADE YOU A SALE)
    ON THE RIGHT YOU WILL CREATE HOPLINK
    ENTER YOUR CLICKBANK NAME
    FOR TRACKIN ID PUT WHATEVER YOU WANT SO YOU CAN TRACK
    CLICK CREATE AND YOU WILL GET SOMETHING LIKE:
    XXXX.(EBOOKSELLERSINFO).HOP.CLICKBANK.NET/?TID=ZOE

    HOPE THAT HELPS,
