Happy New Year! - Made my First Sale!

Well today (yesterday technically) marked a very significant day in my internet marketing career, as I got my first sale! I got an email from Amazon saying that my Amazon Associates account had been confirmed - I was wondering, "Does this mean I've finally made a sale?!" You should have seen the look on my face when I saw that someone had purchase a $20 Wii U game through my affiliate link. The weird thing is, I didn't even promote it on my site. A little reminder of how effective huge retailers can be, huh?

This concluded my year perfectly in terms of IM and reflected on it nicely, also! I take it as a sign that my work paid off, even if only in the smallest minority. Hopefully it's a sign of whats to come more in 2015!

I want to wish you all a very happy new year and hope you have your most successful year yet!
All the best,
James (A.K.A Honey Badger)
