Hey everybody, so I just created a post in the marketplace selling an ebook I just finished. I feel those new to IM will definitely find it useful but I'm not entirely sure how to get the word out. I've been in IM successfully for a few months now but not in the area of selling things like ebooks so I def consider myself quite nooby in this respect. Either way I was hoping some people could check out my post in the ebook marketplace and/or the site I threw together to promote the ebook and let me know what you think. Thanks in advance!
Your first post is a request for a review? That seems a little selfish, don't you think? I mean, you have no reputation here and yet you want to sell e-books and request reviews... Why should we believe anything you say? You're even using a free website!
Well I wanted to offer the ebook to a more veteran member so they could verify that I'm not trying to scam anyone but honestly I dont really know how to approach it. Like I said this isnt't really my area. I got into IM a few months ago, so I've been on this site and others since then just reading through the forums and doing my own research to get my knowledge up. In my mind, I couldn't really participate and establish a reputation until I gained the knowledge first. For example, even on other sites I have a low post count not because I don't make use of the site but because any questions I would have had up until now would've been strictly nooby and would have been answered elsewhere (which they were about 95% of the time); if they weren't already asked somewhere, then I'd go ahead and voice my question. I big thing I've come to understand is that most of you guys with more of a reputation get annoyed having the same questions asked again and again, not only because you have your have your own thing going on and thus your time is precious, but also because it shows that whoever asked the question didn't even bother to dedicate their time to doing their own research before asking to be spoonfed. I dare you to tell me that I'm wrong in believing this..... Either way, I felt that I was finally knowledgeable enough about specific topics that I could teach it to others and that's why I wrote the ebook. Personally, I felt that this was me making my first move towards building a reputation. Also, I do appreciate you actually responding, as everyone else just ignored the post. Please give more feedback as I'm more than ready to listen.
