Great start for March 2010!

So yesterday I set a goal of earning $81. Let see today’s earnings:

Not a bad start! What’s interesting is where the sales came from. Both the sales were from the same individual. This person purchased a product from my affiliate link on February 26.

Now, the vendor had announced that he was coming out with a set of DVD’s. He was going to test them out with his mailing list, then make it available for his affiliates to promote.

So one of the products I got sales for isn’t even available for affiliates! But since the individual purchased something from me a few days ago, cookies are still saved on his computer, and hence…I got credit!

The individual purchased two separate products, so I’m pretty confident that he/she is a trainer of some sort. Otherwise why would anyone purchase so many workouts in such a short time frame?

I’ve had two individuals before that purchased more than one product from me within a short period of time. One of these individuals purchase 8 separate products I was promoting.

Either this individual is a compulsive credit card user, or a personal trainer. One of the products that this individual (the one I got credit for today) was a bootcamp program for trainers.

So, yes these people are trainers and I should do a better job of trying to market fitness products to trainers. It can turn very lucrative if I do it right!

I’ll just add this to the list of strategies I need to try.

By the way – I JUST had this thought. I tend to be able to think of things to do with my site to make sales left and right. In fact, I get so many ideas throughout the day, that I have to actually force myself to STOP implementing everything at once.

I’ve made a list of ideas, and I just keep the list moving and do things one by one. That’s what screwed me over in the beginning – I was trying to do too much at once.

Anyways, another piece of advice for newbies – use your brain. There is no one way to make a sale. Use your creativity. Keep things fun, and make sure Internet Marketing is a passion for you and not just a way you think is going to help you pay your bills (or get your rich).

Let me just stop myself right here before I start a rant.

Tomorrow’s Goal: $80
