Hello BHWs,
So I literally kept reading and reading then went to take action. I started selling stuff on DP and the day before yesterday, I made my first $5.95 sale ever. It was followed by another sale. Then I put up another thing to be sold and I made 1 sale for $7, that makes about $17 in my paypal account after fees and stuff. So firstly, I would really like to send a HUGE thank you to all those who have helped me reach the start, make my first few bucks ever online.
So basically, I have a couple of questions I hope someone can help me with them, I have used the search function so I really hope I didn't miss something that was already there.
So here goes: Firstly, the ebook I sold on DP made 2 sales and BAM! that's it...I got reviews, good ones from members with over 80+ itraders there. I first thought I was going to make a bunch pf sales because after like 15-20 minutes from posting the product, my PM inbox was exploding with PMs for 'review' copies. So I gave about 3 review copies and got the reviews.
Yesterday, I posted a 'popup script' I had acquired master resale rights to and although I provided a live demo, a video demo and a professionally written sales page (wasn't by me, was included in the reseller package), I got one sale for $7.
What I'm trying to get to is: I can keep posting products like that forever and making 1-2 sales for each but I feel something is wrong. The first ebook I made was 18 page 100% written by me and I really, really struggled to get it done and yet, 2 sales and it's in the garbage...frustrating...While the other script I had acquired MRR to, I just basically copied and pasted stuff into the sales thread and VIOLA! A sale for $7. What am I missing here?
The second question, is...Well I found many people here putting goals like '$1' a day, '$10' a day...etc. Well, for me, it may be simple to make like $20 one day and make nothing the next whole week or so. Do you get the picture? Let's take DP, or basically any business..How can you actually 'stabilize' your income? As I mentioned, I got 3 sales on a day...Now my PayPal is literally 'haunted'.
The third one...Well, during the time I kept reading, reading and reading everywhere and not making any money, I kept seeing many, many offers, many ways to invest, many ways to profit! Bookmark this! Bookmark that! And after I made my first $17 and FINALLY decided to start investing..It's like 'Oh-my-God'...LOL. I mean, with this little $17 could be gone in a blink and I will be left with nothing. So what's possibly worth that? What do you suggest investing in whenever I get the money?
The fourth and last one...I became quite interested in CPA and started researching..When I found companies, I viewed the registration page and I had to fill in website details, amount of traffic...etc. So do I have to have my website beforehand? Should it be a blog or what? Do they verify the traffic coming? Do I create a website of any niche?
Thank you very much for taking the time to read this long, boring post. I really hope this will benefit others and I hope it wasn't discussed here before.
Thanks again in advance for your thoughts and time
