My Cherry got popped!
 
Hi Board,

well today i got that first long awaited sale|bananna| . And then i got a second about an hour later!!

So the day started good. When i got home from work i thought i ought to check my PR as i hadn't checked that in a while ~ it came up as PR2 so more good news, but not believing i entered the right site i entered a few more times but got different results twice PR2 and twice PR0 so now not really sure which it is. If anyone can confirm that would be great. site is http://www.sexyethnic.com

For all those newbies, let me tell you it feels great to get that first sale. Although i got a depressed for a minute when i worked out the pay/approximate hours. At less than 5c and hour it has to be below minimum wage anywhere in the world in 1906! However i will keep working hard cos now i'm hungry for more!

To those that have helped by giving advise it couldn't have been done without you. This board is very helpful. So thanks!!

For those that hadn't seen a post from me for a while and figured i had fallen off the road, i have been checking in on the board but been busy working on the various aspects of the site.

Once again to any newbies it is a lot of work and you have to be dedicated to get any results.

Time for a beer or did i mean a 6-pack? While i am working of course!

Congrats Samandian

That first sale is quite a spirit booster... even though the pay/hour sucks in the biggining it will get better but it will take time... but You already know that.

About the PR Gooogle seems to be doing an update right now, have been for a couple of days but if it says PR2 pnce in a while and it used to be PR0... that is probably good news.

Keep the Free sites coming mate and good luck on your further porn adventures

Good for you to keep at it. Know that you are not alone in your efforts. It's my experience that people bragging about how much money they made in their first month of free-sites disappear quickly soon after. If it was so lucrative, why did they never submit again?

Congrats on the sale, keep building, keep submitting, keep working on your own network. |thumb

the first time is always the sweetest, isn't it ;)

Congratulations, samandian!
|bananna|

I have some advice......don't get too addicted to watching those sales stats, it can drive you INSANE when the sales seem to dry up for a few days or even weeks.
Also, don't let a dry sales patch sometime down the line put you off. Sometimes it's very hard to stay motivated when things look bad, but as has been said so many times on GG&J - build through the bad times!
Best of luck!
:)

Thanks all for the words of encouragement. I realise that it will still be a rocky and long road ahead - but that's ok.

I was always taught that Rome was not built in a day.

samandian 2006-10-02 08:06 PM

And of course a sales is not a sale until you get paid!!

Tvduijn 2006-10-03 01:53 AM

Congrats, keep working and it will only get better!

Don't sell yourself short. You did well enough to make the sale.

If anything, know how to make more. |cheers|

Good job samandian!

Congratulations on your first $$$!

Remember when sales go down again to work even harder. This happens to everybody and don't feel discouraged.

MrYum 2006-10-03 08:40 PM

I missed this post yesterday...

Congrats Samandian...that's great news!

As the saying goes...'Lather, rinse...repeat' |thumb

Very cool!
I remember getting my first checque in the mail, that was a rush!, even though it was for $15 it was a rush ;)
Then I got one with Larry Flynt's signature on it, my bussy says hang it onthe wall! Fuck that, I cashed it ;)
Congrats! Many more to come! Sometimes slowly, but if you work it, surely!

You could've made a copy of it, and framed the copy. ;)

johnnybg 2006-10-04 04:53 AM

or he could make several copies and cash them all ;)

SheepGuy 2006-10-04 12:35 PM

AAh, yeah that would have been the smart thing to do. Hindsight is 20/20 ;)

KG Gary 2006-10-04 12:45 PM

Hee hee, up there somewhere I said "Build through the bad times". September for me so far is a bad time.
1:6332. Emphasis on the "1". One sign up. $20.
I know September is only four days old, and a couple of sales will sweeten up that ratio, but I wanted to post it anyway. A problem shared and all that.
|loony|

Yep, I'm going to be building through the bad times!
:D

I've said it before....I'm a dumbass.

I can't even get the bloody month right so how do I expect to make any sales from freesites?
1:6826 as I type this!
Okay, I'll stop complaining now.
