A Better feeling Than First Sale

Hi,
Just thought I would share this with those that understand. Today I got my first thankyou from a customer. I am sooo happy. My blog isn't all that "salesy" because it is more informational as it's health related and I have been putting lots of effort to create as best a site as poss.

Anyway, the customer actually thanked me for my blog and said they use it as a point of reference!! aagh, sorry getting emotional:rolleyes:

I thought it was so nice of them to do that and it has also given me major encouragement to keep progressing. I have learnt that providing quality content and try to help the cust first is paramount and it is not only true but it also makes you feel so much better, I couldn't care less about the sale (well maybe a wee bit) but having the customer saying they liked my blog and it's helping them, just made my day.

Hope this is even just a tiny bit inspiring

Cheers.

    Great that you've received you first thank you! I finally got my first sale this past Thursday and what a suprise when I checked my email and it said that I had made a sale, and that my commission amount $8.

    It may sound meager to some of you out there, but, to me it was a very defining moment.

    This past September I recovered from a stroke. I'm doing really well now but just going that type of ordeal can be challening to say the least.

    After months of working with as little financial backing as I had and to finally get sale a was such an awesome feeling!

    I guess you could say it validated me. It reminded it of the seeds that you planted in the garden, and when they finally break ground you have this beautiful seedling peeking it's head out into this beautiful world! Wow!~

    Congrats...if you get enough of such thank yous, your content is then really resourceful for your readers and your blog will go viral. Would'nt it be good then to have both the thank yous and the $$ flowing in by properly monetizing it. I am sure you are on to something good here... Good luck!
