Confessions of an Economic Newbie

I have been told by experienced bloggers that you can never be too inexperienced to provide useful insights into this crazy business. I am as inexperienced as they come, so perhaps my beginner's take can be helpful.

I thought because I had long been selling things on Amazon and eBay, I had some solid experience to build on. After all, good communication with my buyers and the corporations was part of the job. In fact, I pride myself on good customer service, and my 100% ratings are a source of satisfaction. Also, I did gain some knowledge of the subject areas I was dealing in and consumer spending habits.

But I have to say that this in no way prepared me for blogging. Just because I had sold hundreds of books, coins and tools online with good results did NOT qualify me to produce good blogs on these subjects. Obvious at this point, but at one time I was blissfully ignorant of what a quantum leap in ambition, skill and expertise was necessary.

I thought I could buy some fancy article writing software to cover the holes in my knowledge and I'd be set; then have my first $500 week in no time. It's tempting to be seduced by shortcuts, especially when you feel inadequate for the job.

The thing is, for various reasons I no longer want to do a blog on any of the previously mentioned topics. Time to move on with something completely different!

Hi Grumpy: Thanks for the like and the follow! Lots of us are in the same boat with this. Be patient and go one step at a time. Great thing is, with good training and a good idea, you don't need to be a computer wiz. But yes, it can be a jungle out there! Don't be afraid to shout for help.

Cheers, Pat

Great post, I am ignorantly blissful of all things relating to blogging, online selling, Amazon (was a jungle last time I checked) etc. However I have a desire to challenge myself and if I make a few dollars great, if not, no worries hopefully I will have learnt a lot, made a few friends, and most importantly had some fun.

I will be interested to see how you progress

Cheers Grumpy
