My first Sale as an Affiliate!
It's only been the start of the year and I feel very optimistic for the rest of the year.
I consider myself fairly new to affiliate marketing/online marketing. Ever since I left my job I've been trying to find some ways where I can make some money, and I find online marketing to be very promising.
However, things are not that good, as it turns out, it's a bit hard and I always get frustrated every time I would check my account and still see no sales. I've been trying out different methods and strategies but none seem to work. I almost give up until a few days ago, I got surprised to see a sale, it was from a niche I never expected to work out. But then although it's not that much, I felt like I may have done something right. So now, I am still here hoping to get things right this time, and hopefully generate more sales. Here is the snapshot I took from my clickbank account...
I am still trying to learn more about this industry and hopefully succeed in this as well. I also recently got a free software, that I think can be a great help for keyword research and other SEO stuffs. Just download it here at TrafficTravis.

@everyone.. Thank you very much for all your comments and encouragement. I really appreciate it. I'm glad that it also inspired some people here in the community. As for those asking, how I did it, I think it came from the articles I wrote in hubpages, since I saw that I get regular traffic from the articles that I wrote there. So I am now starting to optimize those articles and see if I can increase the traffic.

Congratulation Mark!
Exactly same thing happen to me last year January(2010). I made my 1st sale after spending 7 months on learning online money making tricks, sometimes you will get frustrated but its worth it and overcome with joy when you make your 1st sale.Double your effort and keep learning as Mark Hodgetts said above "concentrate on perfecting that process". Wish you all the best and good luck mate.

Well done - that 1st sale is a great tonic - what you need to do is to look at what you did to creat that 1st sale and then concentrate on perfecting that process. Congratulations and keep up the good work

Congratulations! I was making a monthly check with Clickbank for a while in 09 thru the early part of 10....when the customers dry up, so does your check. Keep plugging away and maybe you will make some money.....I wish you the best of luck.
