Congratulations!! I just started last month too, and my first batch of customers with recurring payments are about to recur tomorrow. I'm both incredibly excited and worried (no one unsubscribed yet).
Thats awesome.

#43If you don't get a high, a rush from selling something to someone, you're not cut out to be an entrepreneur. Congratulations on your first sale. Last month I sold my first piece of software online and I literally woke my wife up to tell her. I also sell guns and gun accessories. Last night, a customer purchased $1100 worth of products. In an industry with tough and large competition, we somehow convinced him through…
Absolutely agree. Earning that first dollar is much harder than the next thousand. The reason is that it is a major mindset shift. It's a hurdle that quite a lot of people underestimate.

#45I have my email client set up to play a cash register sound every time an order goes through. It sounds dumb, but it never gets old.
If it sounds dumb, maybe you should search for a better sounding cash register noise ;)
Seriously though, it would be awesome if you all of a sudden you had a surge of sales and your computer made as much noise as a slot machine hitting a jackpot.

#47Many congratulations, and thank you. "Thank you" because I know from my own experience that these kinds of posts are extremely motivational.
I made my first sale a year and a half ago, and recently increased the sales so that I could go full time. Maybe I should've followed my own advice and posted it on HN: http://www.elstensoftware.com/blog/2011/01/21/going-fulltime...

#50I'm still waiting for my first dollar from my password generating android app "Password Specialist". It was added in Dec 2010 to the market and still 0 sales :)
