So close to making my first sale

So if you have followed me close enough, I own an action camera website. This morning, someone actually emailed me to say that he has purchased something from the website. But when I went to see my earnings, it is still $0.00. I then wondered. After reading his email more deliberately this time, I realised that he has used another link to buy as all my links were more expensive that then the one he found online as it was on sales!

NOOO. That was my literal reaction. So close yet so far haha.

Anyways, I have learnt a lot from this and hopefully, my mistake will teach you something. DO YOUR RESEARCH ON YOUR AFFILIATE LINKS before you post or else you are going to miss out on huge amount of revenues.

Anyways, this isn't a serious problem and I have since amended it.

So what do you guys think about this? Has it happened to you? LOL :P

Being educated in advance is key here!

Wow, that's something to remember.

Occasionally, you can get the affiliate manager to drop the price for you.

You could send them and email, tell this story and tell them what you intend to do a bit differently to 'earn this discount.
