Success Story of the Week: Today's success story comes from Leah, and I tried to get Jocelyn to read this one on the air, but she totally refused because she said, "This ain't me." She says, "Here you go, you read the subject line." So Leah writes, "ERMAHGERRRD--" ermahgerd, you know like the meme, "... MY FIRST SALE!" in all capital letters with a giant exclamation point. "I lowered the price of my eBook a couple of weeks ago.  I've been running Facebook ads to get clicks in order to reach target later for my membership site, which has been simultaneously growing my email list little by little.  I'm offering my e-book and my autoresponder I am thrilled that I finally sold one.  I just sent a text to my husband, 'Made some big money online.  Ten bucks.  Giddy up!'" Good job, Leah, that is awesome.
