The Importance Of Your First Sale Online

Making your first sale on the internet is a pretty amazing feeling. When you make that first sale you finally know for a fact that making money online is possible.

Until you have made that first sale you may even have a little bit of doubt in your head because you have never actually made any money online.

Making your first sale online will help you to get rid of that doubt and it will help you move ahead in your business much quicker. When you make that sale it will not only prove that online marketing works, but it will also give you an idea of what it takes to actually make sales.

Don't Give Up

I remember when I was just starting to learn about online marketing. I tried probably 10 different marketing strategies before I found 1 that worked for me. After I finally found a strategy that worked for me, it still took months for me to get my first lead!

There was a time in the beginning that I felt so overwhelmed with information that I didn't know what to do or who to listen to. I was trying to learn 10 different strategies at once, and none of them were working for me.

The Turning Point

Everything changed for me when I began to focus on just 1 marketing strategy. I ignored all the other strategies and advice from others and just focused on this one strategy until I started to see results.

After I decided to focus on this one strategy I finally got my first lead...and then my first sale.

"It is better to be exceptional at 1 thing than to be mediocre at 10"

Make It A Goal To Get That First Sale

If you haven't made money online, then you should make it your goal to make that first sale as soon as possible. Making your first sale will reveal so much to you that you don't know now.

When you make that sale it will also encourage you to make more sales and it will boost your confidence as well. In the world of online marketing there are relatively few people who actually make money.

Plus-

You will get an idea of what it takes to make sales online. Before you make a sale you may not know how many leads it takes to get a sale. Once you know this information it will make it far easier for you to plan your business out.

For some reason it makes things a lot easier when you have an idea of what to expect. Before you get that sale you don't really know how many leads will have to get.

The sad part about this is that some people might quit before making that first sale. They may have 15 or 20 leads and decide to quit because they haven't seen a sale yet.

It Is A Numbers Game

When you make a sale it gives you priceless insight into the online marketing game. You will now know how many leads you need for a sale and you can make a gameplan for your business.

For example-

if you know it takes 30 leads to make a sale, then you can plan your business and marketing strategy to fit those numbers.

Then you can hit those numbers and even exceed your expectations if you continue to follow up with your prospects. The simple fact is that the more leads you get in your business the more sales you will make over time.

You may get a lead that is interested in what you have to offer, but it might just be a bad time for that person to buy. If you keep following up with your leads, then you will catch that person at a better point in their life and they will buy from you.

Having an online business is hard in the beginning stages, but once you get going it becomes easier and more profitable. The quickest way to get to the next stage in your business is to get that first sale... even if you have to do some paid advertising to make it happen.
