Default First Affiliate Sale
Just wanted to let everyone know that I got my first affiliate sale yesterday. I am very happy about this. I just have to figure out how to bring people to this page with using Google Adwords, as I spent far more on Google Adwords than I actually made. My average cost per click was over $1.30, if I remember right. Makes me feel good though that there is potential for monetization in my website anyways.

Congratulations! That is very exciting. I remember the feeling, even though my first commission was like $.29!

Congratulations!

Yeah that the thing with AdWords, you need to spend to learn. That's the thing each mile stone makes you stronger. Anyone who has made a living online will tell you if they lost everything and had to start again with just the knowledge gained they would make it all back in a fraction of the time

1 sale today, 2 sales tomorrow

There is nothing more exciting than getting that first sale. I still remember mine. I wish I had framed my first check like some business owners do with their first dollar earned. Congrats. You should be proud.

Congrats! I remember my first sale too. It was very encouraging. I'm sure that check will be on its way before you know it.

Default Frame it?
How about, make a copy and frame that, then cash the check!

OK, I'm so practical people may think I'm dull. But I have some money in the bank and no debts. And I do enjoy that.

Congrats! be sure to keep reading more about google adwords there are a lot of good videos and ebooks out there on the topic. With work you should be able to get your cost per click down and increase your conversions so you can make a really nice return on your investment.

Then you can try and achieve organic rankings for the keywords that perform best in ppc.
