Do you think selling is easy? Think Again!

A couple of months ago, someone approached me to See if I was interested in becoming a partner of his "make money Blogging" eBook. In her email she explained that she had great plans for the eBook. The price is $ 29, and he waited to sell 10,000 copies in the first six months.


The numbers got me curious, so I went to visit his blog. According to his "Advertise" at the bottom of the page, he or she received 50,000 monthly visitors and had 2,000 RSS subscribers.


Hhmmm, I thought.


He wanted the rain parade, so his saying was reserved for the some of the siivosti project and don't have the time to join the affiliate, (which was true), such as the desire of happiness eBook Launch still email answered.


What I had in mind was something else, that is: been in any way upon the Earth, he could sell that eBook 6 years, not to mention the 6 months to 10 000 copies!


How come? Firstly, because of the novelty of the product does, rather than revolutionary, and it is a saturated market. Secondly, the creator of the product has a strong reputation and name/place ready for the public at large to buy him.


In fact, if you had to guess I would say he has sold more than 100 pieces.


Probably this was the first time, the guy was tries to sell a product, and why he too has been assessed and evaluated in accordance with the outrageous high numbers.


I've been there myself. When my first eBook launched I had already blog 20,000 subscribers. EBook on the topic of a lot of work was to make your stay a pleasant one, and I was so I figured that at least 10% of the readers to buy it (i.e. 2000 people). Boy I was wrong!


30 days or after I had sold only 200 copies. I was really frustrated, but the whole experience taught me a good lesson: sales has never been easy, whatever.


Speaking in practice, this means that the aim should be a great product, great marketing and, as the case may be, the public at large with a place, which is eager to buy before you start selling. And even if you manage to get all these 3 factors, remember that it is difficult to obtain, people still buy.


Again, sales has never been easy. If it was, everybody would be rich!
