    Default Well I got my first sale finally!

    I hope I start getting a lot more!

    I told you all I set up a new niche, a secret one I knew would probably convert well. It seems to have a lot of people searching for it but FEW targeting it.

    Well I got my first sale when I get up this morning.

    Let me share the conversion rate. I had a total of 21 hops so far and 1 sale.
    Sale total was $31.09

    I have YET to get the top spot on the top keyword or one of them but I am getting a steady amount of a few clicks a week now. When I get that top spot I should see at least a sale a week if this keeps up.

    I do see lots of potential in this guys, I can't wait to I get to the point of getting 1 sale a day across my sites or even per site.
    Thanks

    I Finally Popped My Conversion Cherry!!! Re: Well I got my first sale finally!

    Congratz.

    When I saw the thread title (before seeing who posted), I just hoped it was you as I know you have been trying hard to make that first sale breakthrough.

    Hopefully you continue to make more sales in that niche and are able to make sales in the other niche areas you have been looking at.

    Thanks, yeah I have only posted 9 links to it and that was it. I got a total of 36 links or something from those 9 sites and I ranked for some keywords. I am now going to be sending a lot more links to it so I can rank for another one with a LOT more traffic but one that still only has 13,000+ competition.

    I am really excited about seeing the first sale. If my family was not here I might have ran around the house screaming "FIRST SALE FIRST SALE" haha.

    No, I wont be talking about this niche at all. I told ONE person here that I trust, hope and BEG will now not go and jump on my niche. Let me have this one all to myself please.

    I wonder who it was you told?

    Have you told your parents about this sale? It's good news for them too, they'll be glad you're making progress at last

    Yes I told my parents. I told my dad just now I have not even got the top spot yet and did not really work hard on this site at all to make this sale. They are glad to finally see me make a sale.

    I bought 3 more domain names for 3 more niches. Now I just need to write some articles and put those sites up also.

    I should have the top keyword in a week or sooner if I post about 30 more links to the website.
    I have never made a sale online like this so this is cool.

    I was starting to think it might not happen mate!!!
    You underestimate my drive to make this work haha. I knew I would make a sale sooner or later.

    Nope I am a guy from Ware Shoals South Carolina USA. My family owns a dairy farm. I chose a different path that I hope can help fund the things I want to do such as help people out, you know give me the time to volunteer for family and whatever and to help fund my hopes of getting into movie making special effects. I would not mind being a special effects guy whether CGI or a stunt/effect coordinator.

    I bought a 10x20 feet green screen and now all I need is a HG20 HD video camcorder and I am set.

    Nope he did not use the affiliate link or something. I used one from the affiliate page on the niche choppers website but maybe they are changed now?

    myuserid.ichop is the style I used.

    I just did a quick test and that format is still working. I know Norb is pulling for you the way that most choppers are, so I'm sure he try to make it right.

    It does not even show anyone clicked it. I sent the guy a PM, it is okay if he did not use the affiliate link because it is nice to see others learn from what I have done and what has failed with me. I told him this would be the place to go and that he should read my 14 page thread.

    Congratulations Cow!

    Hopefully, ill be there soon enough!

    Did you just focus on article marketing or did you also do PPC campaign to get the sale?

    Hi Cows,

    I'm sorry that it's not showing up that I purchased from your link. I clicked the link and read all the info and I thought that when I ordered it would show up for you. In the questions when signing up it asked if someone recommened Niche Chopper and I put in "cowsgonemadd3" maybe I done it wrong. If you don't receive credit is there someway/someone I could contact to let them know that you were supposed to receive credit?

    Jack

    Hey it is okay but now I need to wonder why it did not track. You have cookies on right?

    Tot he question above, I did not use PPC to get this sale. It was all by SEO traffic really.
