I made my first sale!!!!!!!!!!

I'm just so excited I made my first sale. I have only just finished Mark's course and my site and have been madly submitting articles and was just prepared to keep going and sit back and wait. Then this morning I just decided to check Clickbank and there it was! 6 June - $33.85. How does a keyboard project excitement? My site looks like hundreds of others I'm sure and I'm not getting much traffic yet but it is growing by about 2 a day, probably from the articles. I am beside myself. Will have ring somebody!!.

Congratulations! and thanks for sharing.

I just had a look at your site, and I must say that you did a great job. I am sure that if you add a newsletter and a product recommendation on the first page, you will do even better.

So your homework for now:

1. Drive MORE traffic to your site
2. Add a newsletter

All the best,
Franck

Thanks Franck

What do you mean my product recommendation? Do you mean the five star rating Mark recommends in the course? I don't really want to do a newsletter, but will give it a go.

Hi Ben Lauren,
Fantastic start and your site looks great, one recommendation though, i would highly recommend that you cloak your affiliate clickbank link,mark talks about this in the course
Once again a Huge Congratulations

Congratulations, Benlauren :)

Your site looks nice and neat. I like the layout, font and the colors that you used.

It would be good to have a review table since this page converts well to sales.

I think Franck means that you should recommend a product on the first page of your site. There is an animated gif but no affiliate link on that page.

Placing your affiliate link on all of your web pages above the fold will also help monetize your site. It would also help if you'll use a stronger "call to action" (ie using "Have the best body now!" instead of "Find out how"; or "Manage your weight easily and effectively!" instead of "All you need to know").

You could ask for a full review on the Site Reviews section of the Affiloblueprint members' forum.

All the best!

G'day, nice job on the website. Colours are great, content is great, videos are cool, voiceover (or voice-over) is pleasant and left-hand menu is inviting (I clicked on five links).

Overall, 8.5 out of 10 for a first impression. You are living proof that Mark's Affilorama Blueprint 2.0 REALLY DOES WORK.
