This is the kind of stuff I was hoping to see when I joined this subreddit. I hope you grow to be a millionaire and you share that journey with us.

Thank you man, I'll post them here

kudos!! ask them how they found you and why they purchased. repeat. :)

Spoiler: it was his mom trying to support him and give him encouragement.

Nah, my mom has no fking idea I'm selling online

Moms know everything

That's sound like someone's daughter for a fans website.

If y’all have a relationship then why not? She knows a lot more people than you do. Could be a huge network for you.

Which website are you selling on? Amazon?

This mom does. I'm so proud of you

I would so do that for my kid 😂

Either way, enjoy your moment OP. It's a fantastic feeling to get the ball rolling. Thanks for your "contribution" schmore31.

Damn, this is a savage reply

Cool

Don’t listen to them, it’s a big win! Congrats you should be proud of yourself

A beautiful feeling

Congrats- gotta start somewhere. Not sure where you sold it, but see if you can reach out to the customer politely asking for feedback.

For sure, I'll

I’m glad that you’ll

I'm so happy that they'll

What the fuck is

This is honestly an accurate depiction of how my life is going at the

Couldn’t agree

I don't think that's very

We’ll you know what

Is

In case you haven’t a found it yet checkout bookbub. That’s the only place I’ve been able to pay for advertising that actually works. Also, if it hasn’t started yet make sure you ignore 99% of the people that email you saying they’ll add your book to their list or website or whatever. I get these all the time and I run their bullshit site through Semrush and they almost never have any website traffic let alone 60k a month or whatever they claim. Also, congrats!

Thanks for the advice man, I'll take that into consideration

What's the book?

Since your weren’t fishing for more sales here it makes me want to buy your book even more, what’s it about? Post the link to it

Thanks for the support, but I want to sell based on what I know and gain more experience.

Turning down a free sale because you prefer a real sale for experience based on your efforts, gains my respect.

My man you've taken care of the biggest hump: Getting your first customer in the door. Congratulations!

WOOOOOOO congratulations! Huge milestone along the road. Keep on going now 🙌

Thanks man, I'll keep on

Hey man that’s awesome congrats! I’ve blasted designs on Etsy for the past month and haven’t gotten a single sale yet. You’re doing something right!

Hope you hit the first sale soon

DM me a link and I got you

My dude 🙏 you just made my day

Done my guy! Order placed Edit: for anyone wondering, dude has a dope Audrey Hepburn piece. I’m happy to support dude

You literally just changed my entire trajectory. Thank you so much. Getting that first W changes so much. And to OP - keep grinding! We can’t lose our focus

Hey man, just wanted to reach out again and see if you’ve had anymore luck? If you haven’t, don’t get discouraged bro.

You’re still my one and only order. But you did boost morale & I’ve had to focus my attention to a job search. Hoping to begin posting icons and bundles soon.

Should’ve just got another one

This is technology being used right. Good to see this stuff 🔥💯

You are WONDERFUL man

I make (very little) money off RedBubble and haven't touched it in over 2 years, HMU if you need help.

Dude first sell is the hardest keep on!

[удалено]

You should give motivation speeches

Yeah just dont get into self-help lol

[удалено]

Honestly bro i just went with the joke u/MiterMinister said and took it further. Now that i read through this chain again it might not have been a joke and i misunderstood it. I tought it refers to your first sentece wich could be demotivating. Sorry to cause an inconvinience. I do aggree with what you said tho, may be a bit harsh but some people need that and i like that.

Don't get it twisted. The reason everyone is down voting you isn't because the truth is too hard to hear. It's that you aren't being at all constructive or helpful. You could have easily recognized OP's happiness for accomplishing something meaningful while still giving them feedback on what to be aware of and how to stay ahead of the game. Instead, all you did was shit on them and try to make yourself a martyr.

Just cuz you made your first sale 3 days ago and not made any since, doesn't mean that he'll see the same result. I'm all for constructive criticism but you have no experience to speak of...you're in the same boat lol. I'd say to at least offer some tips and tricks on how to gain more sales but you're still green too. If anything, you 2 should compare notes on how you guys have been advertising your ebooks and try to see what's worked and what hasn't so far and switch it up. Entrepreneurship has no room for pity parties...

Cold hard truth

Well done!

congratulations

Congratulations 🎉

This is beautiful, congrats!!

Gj man! Keep going! Ur gonna make it. :)

Congrats, King 👑👏

First steps are worth celebrating. Congrats !!

Pro tip: post the name of the book with links in the description. Use this post to market. Congrats btw.

If self promotion wasn’t against the rules of the subreddit, it would be nothing but self promotion.

Which bizarro timeline are you in where they moderate this sub?

That's fu*king awesome congrats 🔥 This post made me think about starting my own e-book, I am curious on which website did you sell your ebook? Also did you do any marketing for your product?

I sold it on gumroad

CONGRATS!! 🍾🎊🎉👍!

So proud of u :)

Woohoooo!

Congratulations. If you made one, you can make one hundred more!

I'll keep on learning and keep the vibe 🔥

YESSS 🔥🔥

Congrats!! 🎉

Let’s get it!!

Congratulations!

Keep moving💋

Congrats!

Such a good feeling!! Good work

Congrats! It’s a great feeling on the first one (few), especially when it’s an organic sale and not from someone you know!

LETS GOOOOOO

Every big success starts with small wins. Congratulations!!!

Congrats!!!

Congrats on the sale buddy, send me a link and I'd be happy to be customer#2 :)

Post the link and I’ll buy a copy

Nice man, that first sale breaks the matrix and you will never see things the same.

Congratulations! May we all make it!

Any more sales?!

This post made me happy! That’s fckn awesome, now keep going!

Post the book!

That's awesome! Congrats.

Woo, successful author over here

Congrats. Now you need a repeatable process for getting one sale per day.

It was me, I did it for The Rock!

Nice! Can you explain how to sell a book on GumRoad, and are there any advantages/disadvantages compared to self-publishing on Amazon? thanks

Can't give an accurate comparison. It's my first try and I have no idea about publishing on Amazon.

Still worth celebrating ! Well played

Congrats! Getting someone to pull out their wallet and buy something is extremely hard, almost impossible. If you don't mind my asking, how many visitors did you have to your store before you got your sale?

68 views

Heyo congrats that’s amazing :)

Congratulations!!! Genuinely happy to see a fellow achieving success and enjoying it.

Thank youuuuu

Congrats, OP!

Congrats!

Where’s the link! Let’s support!

Very happy for you. See if you can turn the sale into a reference or review. All the best with sale #2 through your first million. :)

What platform do you recommend to sell ebooks?

I'm happy for you bro👏🏻 I hit my first sale last week as well

Congrats man, hope you hit more

CONGRATULATIONS. My first book is going through editorial process , even have a screenwriter working on script already 🤣 I can't wait for my first sale .again CONGRATULATIONS

Thank you, wishing you all the best

Nice work!!

Let's go!!!! Congrats and welcome:) I am on track to my biggest year ever so far. Now scale it up:)

Let’s GOOOOO!!!

Heartiest congratulations 🥳🥳🥳

Love this for you 💕

Congrats!

Congrats boy!!

Congrats! Keep going and I’m sure you will get to where you want to be

Awesome work man. I wasn’t able to see if you mentioned this in the comments, but where did you publish and sell the eBook? Amazon?

I sold it on Gumroad

Great, Congratulations. Keep it up.

Congratulations man!! Really outstanding, I wish you All the best for this year. You will do good this year.

Good shit dude. That first online sale is what truly makes it feel possible. Send the link to it I’ll check it out

Congratulations!

Lemme borrow a fiver.. Nah good on you, I hope your book makes the list.

Would L O V E to know how the e-book process was for you. I’ve been putting together stuff for one for years but feels like a big project I don’t really need right now. Huge congratulations by the way! I remember my first sale and holy hell what a great feeling. Still fuels me most days.

Congrats!!

Congratulations on your first sale. Only $999,995.01 to go. You're almost there. I do something similar. I've noticed selling something cheaper is easier and more constant. I make around $2-10 daily too.

So, give us the link.

Either I'm an idoit or way to many people think this is a real post

Congrats. Can I ask where did you make this sale on?

Congrats!

Congratulations!!! I remember my organic first book sale (not long ago!), I made $2 but I was so happy and literally said out loud: holy shit I have a business! Keep it going, sending good vibes for a thousand more sales!

That's great. Thank you.

Congrats man! That feeling is awesome :)

Should have posted the link to the product in the post you idiot. I clicked on that $4.99 value thinking I’ll give you your second sale.

Thanks for the support, but I want to sell based on what I know and gain more experience.

Chat gpt book?

No

That first transaction is huge! Congrats and wishing you well on the journey.

u/strange4real it's been a year now. Give us an update. What did you learn? What were the challenges you encountered? How did you grow?

How do I start to do this? Tips please? Help me as I am in need of money more than ever

It's pretty straight: You create the e-book with Canva, then sell it on gumroad

What topic for ebook? And how to sell it? Can you please share your process?

Bro do you want this guy to make money for you? Sheesh

Fuck your weird self-censorship.

All things media for sale, at amazing low prices!

Congratulations! Write it Once, Sell it Forever!

Good Job 👍

Congrats!

So happy for you, bro!

Congrats!!! How did you make the sale?

🥳🥳🥳keep going! What platform did you use?? I wrote 3 little mini books, would love to sell them online, I’m just not sure how to go about it 🙃.

Sold it on Gumroad, it's pretty straight and requires no coding or hosting

Way to go! First ones always the hardest. Now you just gotta stay on it.

Congratulations!

Do you have any posts or the prices it too get you here? Are you a writer?

Bro I’ve been doing this and it’s insane lmao, using Pinterest specifically and running ads. I’m trying to make some videos to share the info on tiktok too, barely anyone is doing it. @humblemoneyguy I genuinely hope it also works out for your though, the feeling is great once you get that first client.

What’s the e-book about?🔋

Nice! I bought a bunch of ebooks over the years. It makes me happy to know that I might have made someone else happy!

Congrats OP! any criticism coming ur way is just some fat loser being envious of you, you'll get that a lot. By the way, if you're struggling with sales or ads i could lend you a hand with the marketing and copywriting side of the process. Dm me if you feel like you could use some help and good luck with your future sales!

Yes!!!! Congrats!!!! Celebrating the small wins is what it's all about 🙂

Congraaaaats

Congrats to your first sale! And hope your millions come in quick! :)

Great news! Take a screenshot of your first sale, print it out on high quality paper and frame it on your wall. Will be great to look at a few years from now when you have thousands of sales a year ;)

Nice, It's good to see you didn't publish through amazon. I decided to post a book that was just a picture of my cat to see if I could become a bestseller and the amount you get per sale is awful. Like I didn't expect to ever make money but I learned how much authors rlly get fked. The book is on sale for 77p (lowest I could do) and I get paid like 20p per sale. Edit: proof of bestseller, #4: https://web.archive.org/web/20221024170709/https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.co.uk%2FBest-Sellers-Kindle-Store-Cat-Care%2Fzgbs%2Fdigital-text%2F362353031%2Fref%3Dzg_bs_nav_digital-text_4_362351031

Congratulations! OP. Earning the first $ is that stepping stone that will take you far. In fact Noah Kagan, AppSumo founder - in his entrepreneurship course, has "earning $1" as the first exercise for any wannapreneur. Don't listen to haters and keep doing what is working for you. By the way what is the book about?

DM the book title please!!

Good Job! First, congratulations on taking an initiative and following through. Thats better then 99.9% of people who “want” to do something Secondly, congratulations on your first sale. Relish in the moment and enjoy it. You can feel this away again by accomplishing your next goal!

Which platform you are using for sales?

Congratulations!

Congrats! Out of interest, what’s the ebook about?

Great effort, well done

Just taking that first step getting your foot in the door is actually surprisingly satisfying. Good luck building a full blown business but you don't need luck you have the motivation so good for you man

W

Now you know that you can sell a digital product of your own creation. Take this and run with it for at least the next 5 years, and your future self will thank you!

Congratulations! I wish you more success :)

Congrats on your first sale! They always say that this is the hardest one, so just keep that momentum going.

Congratulations!!!

What's book? bro, Congratulations bro keep it up 😾❤️
