I just started marketing my ebook this week and it's an exhausting process to follow up with people who say one thing and yet do something else entirely. What people won't tell you is that they don't trust something like a service that they have to willingly give a payment to. I could pitch it as much as possible but you practically have to walk them through the process or again, follow up with them and then walk them through the process. Then, you have to assure them that everything went well. It's a frustrating process because it puts the seller in a situation of sharing the anxieties (sometimes deep seeded) of others. It's certainly disheartening, couldn't all of this be easily resolved by just submitting and taking a chance? (Don't You Trust PayPal?)
I've been fighting for a work from home lifestyle since 2012 and document my daily battle with becoming a solopreneur. I'm not rich but I'm far more aggressive with what I want to do and frankly, very busy doing it and thus have some sort of stability. My business is writing, creating and expressing myself and so I write about those fights here.

The Harsh Reality Of Selling Online
