379.82 to get my first 6.75 in revenue...and I couldn't be more happy!

1 month ago, I committed to pursuing AM. My ultimate goal?

Short term goal?

1 conversion. Just 1.

Well, it finally happened last night! I logged into Voluum for one last check of the stats before I was going to pause this campaign and go back to the drawing board. The little 1 in the conversions column seemed so out of place I almost looked right past it...what the hell are you doing there little man...there's supposed to be a zero there right!? Every day I would check the stats. Well, okay, let's be honest. Every hour I would check the stats! Always to see my good ol friend mr zero

I was so excited that I screamed out to my wife: "Babe! Babe! CONVERSION!! We got a conversion" I was jumping up and down with so much excitement and enthusiasm. I can't remember the last time I was so excited about something! Funny right? How can I be so excited about spending $379.82 to get back $6.75?! Because to me it is the same thing as achieving my ultimate goal! If I don't give up, each milestone (no matter how small) is guaranteeing my successfully reaching the big life changing goal - my F-U money if you will ?

Want to know the best part? It's the stuff I've learned here in STM over the last couple of days that I believe really got me the conversion. Don't know how long it would have taken me stumbling around the dark on my own!! Big thanks to STM and the treasure trove of people/information you have here!

Now I have to set another goal. LOL

Losing that virgin conversion, feels like the actual thing, will always be remembered

Congratulations! I also remember my first conversion. At that time, I was smiling like a crazy alone in front of my laptop for a while and kept refreshing to see when to have the next conversion. I'm sure more will come for you.

You just left the herd of all those people who read AM blogs and forums but never take action. Whats the next goal?

Congrats man!

Thanks everyone!

The next goal is to get a positive ROI on one campaign for at least one day. Then set another goal after that :-)

Hey bro, just got my first conversion just now today too! Feels incredible doesn't it???

Anyway, glad to hear you finally got it. My next goal is a -50% ROI.

Congrats!! Yes, it feels so good to have that milestone in the rear view mirror! Getting that little bit of revenue makes the ultimate goal feel much closer than it used to.

Yep, let's work hard/smart (using all the info here at STM) and have a blast in the process!

Good luck to you on your next goal!

Congrats man! I totally understand what you are feeling. I launched my first campaign a couple of weeks ago and scored a few conversions. Although the ROI is still around -90% it's such a rush!
Keep on pushing through. We all can make it!

Hey. I am so regret that I didn't do a screen capture for my first conversion. Do it!

Congrats! More and more conversions to come
