As a new Internet marketer I’m going through my personal list of all the doubts and worries in my mind as I start out.

Number four is, “I don’t like selling, it just feels wrong!”

The answer that springs to mind might be, what am I doing messing with Internet marketing if I don’t like selling? I clarified this issue, to some degree, in a previous posting – I don’t know how to sell.

I suggested it’s what I sell that is going to have a great bearing on how I view the whole sales process. If I’m selling rubbish and I know the customer is going to end up disappointed or feel cheated then no wonder I am uneasy about the whole business.

On the other hand, if I choose a product I can genuinely endorse because I have experience with it and it has been of use to me personally then why should I have concerns if it helps other people too? I should be pleased with such an outcome.

And if the buyer is actively typing a search into to Google, literally asking to buy this product, why should I feel in any way bad about selling it to him or her given I know it provides value?

It makes no sense to have negative feelings about selling if I have the right intentions from the outset. That’s why you’ll never see me selling, “Lose 100lbs in one week by flexing your big toe!”, style weight-loss products. That sort of stuff is simply targeting desperate people for a quick buck. That’s what would really make me hate selling.

On a related note, I’ve applied and received refunds for three products this week. One product was sheer dross, the other two were fine but weren’t going to work out for me in the short term. I have to say that all three vendors handled the refund process without a fuss. That’s something else I’ll be doing, making sure customers have an easy route to getting their money back if anything I sell them turns out to be not quite right for them.

I’m not sure any more why I was worried about selling, I’m actually going to enjoy it.
