The Epic Story Of My First 2 Sales of 200dollar.tech Memberships
As many of you know, most of my website launches are filled with mishaps, fumbles, and bad luck.This streak of misfortune didn't end when I began promoting www.200dollar.tech on Valentine's Day.
Here's how it all transpired:
I created several landing pages and a main sales page for the initial marketing push.
I checked the functionality of all links and scanned all of the text for typos.
Everything was fine. I then assigned subdomains to the landing pages to avoid long, ugly URLs.
I created a few Adwords campaigns as well as some Facebook paid ads. I thought I had covered all of the bases.
I started sharing links, driving traffic, and giving info about the program.
After a few days, I got no sales. It didn't bother me because I understand the fact that marketing is a "numbers game."
Eventually, I shared a link with a young man who informed me that the button used to take people to the Paypal portal wasn't working.
But unfortunately, I was on my way to a meeting at the time. When the meeting was over, I didn't remember to check the broken link.
10 hours later, I came across the malfunction and the earlier conversation popped back in my mind.
WOW! I felt like a total idiot. 1,000 of people had seen my videos. A few people submitted e-mail optins. But NONE were able to buy from me. I was crushed.
I quickly found and fixed the issue. The masked redirect was causing problems.
I then recorded/posted a video about my failure and tried to go to sleep. But I couldn't.
It was after 2:00 am and I wanted to record some more videos to highlight my mistake and show how I planned to overcome it.
I had my cell phone camera recording when I logged into my Paypal account to give viewers a baseline account balance. I planned to celebrate my first sale eventually.
But to my surprise, I HAD MADE MY FIRST SALE!!!!
I was so shocked/happy/relieved! After all of the confusion, someone took action and joined the site.
It was about 3 am and I finally went to sleep. I slept peacefully.
About 16 hours later, right before I was ready to edit the videos I had recorded, I found another surprise in my Paypal account. To be continued...
