My Site Made Its First Sale Today
I just wanted to share the excitement!
My new site, which has been my sole focus since January (see my progress reports for exactly what I've been doing), just made its first sale! I now have $19 sitting waiting for me at ShareASale.
This is a lot sooner than I expected, as I'm in a competitive niche and review high value products. I was hoping to start seeing some sporadic sales maybe in a few months time, not this early.
It's so great to see this first sale. I've been struggling with my motivation, but pushing myself to stay consistent with posting content to my site. This sale has been just what I needed for a little confidence boost. It's kind of like that first time your baby smiles at you after those first weeks of exhaustion, haha.
I know that this is not the start of a great rush of sales, and that things will be inconsistent and slow for a while yet. But it's so exciting to have reached this first milestone towards making my site profitable.

That is awesome. Congratulations!!!!
Looking back over your last few months posts, you have worked very hard to get to this point.
I book marked last month's post were you were tired, frustrated and almost burnt out. As you mentioned, it would have been a cocktail mixture that might have resulted in many people giving up.
Yet, look at this month. :) I am so happy for you.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story! I'm really hoping to show (eventually) in real time, to newbies, that with hard work we can get there.
Thanks for the encouragement :)
Great news and hope for many more of these! Wins like this are important to share to show people that what they're working toward isn't in vain. This is real.
What great news and all the best as things grow more and more for you
Success is yours!!

Congratulations! Emily
$19 is a really good amount for
your first sale...even if it is just
$1 I know it feels really exciting :)
Is this sale as a result of organic
traffic or social media?
How many page views you are
getting per month?
Have you got this sale as a result
of following the OEC course or bootcamp?
Thank you!
This is all just from SEO, using Jay's methods he teaches in the webinars.
Although I think it was a totally lucky random sale and I won't see another for a while as I only get 1-3 organic visitors per day.
This is a niche site following OEC training recommendations.
Really appreciate your reply, Emily
Thank you so much :)
You're welcome :)
