My First Real Sale!

About 10 days back, someone has purchased some products on Amazon through my website, but they were cancelled before shipping. So that was nothing.

This morning I surprisingly saw 8 new orders in my Amazon Associates account and 3 of them already shipped.

Not only that, but I also earned nealy $2 from Google AdSense in two days.

These are all because of the move I made two days ago.

Here is the post I wrote on WA that explained what I did.

A Short Answer Attracted Over One Hundred Unique Users in One Night!

Yesterday I posted an article on that same forum. The article was about my own experience related to my niche topic.

I didn't put my website link directly in the article as I am a new member so I didn't want to make it too obvious.

However, there were many comments and some of them were questions. So I did the same thing as the first one-- I answered the questions and also linked my website in them.

Guess what? that single post received over 30,000 views. The result was, more traffic to my website.


If I put my site link in the main post, the traffic would be insane.

I certainly don't mean to brag, it has nothing to brag about.

What I learned was, find your real audiences, then try your best to engage.

This is still new to me. I need to keep trying to find the best strategy so it will last longer.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

Amy

Good morning, I'm excited for you, CONGRATULATIONS. Traffic is a beautiful thing indeed.

2

Thank you so much. I am enjoying to see the number growing. lol

2

This is amazing Amy! Incredible results

It will last longer, because these links will transfer some site authority from the forum to your site, which means more search traffic.

I'd work on building a list now. Let me know it you need help with that.

2

It is always great to hear from you, Fran. What kind out list are your working on?
I'm still a little confused about backlink. If as you said that this traffic will help me with the organic traffic that will be great.

2

Backlinking is basically links from other sites that link to yours.

Backlinks carry domain authority, so the links you posted in that forum should carry some of it's authority onto your website, which helps you rank in Google (major factor).

I meant that you should probably set up an offer to turn some of that traffic into email subscribers.

I recently wrote a post that might help you with that, it's a kind of guide to list building a-to-z but in what I believe to be a very easy way.

I'll send it to you privately.

Wow, Fran, thanks so much. Your post will be a big help no doubt. I have bookmarked it and will take time to learn.
BTW, Your website looks great.
I really appreciate your help.

2

One question, your website is lightning fast, do you use any plugin to help with the site speed?
My website has a lot of images. The mobile site speed is pretty bad.
Do you have any suggestion?

1

I use a fast theme, minimum amount of plugins, and the smush pluggin to compress the images.

Feel free to write me on fb if these don't work for you or you need any more specific advice.

2

Thank you Fran, I will check it out. : )
