After reading the "$100 Start-Up", I came across a story where this guy wrote a e-book for the software Evernote. He ended up selling so much of them online and made over $120,000 within the first two years. I think he even got a job at Evernote because of that.
While reading the book, I was trying to think of what I could write about. At the time, i was buying and selling on Gumtree(Australian version of Craigslist) to make money and I thought maybe i could write about that so I did. Wrote a short guide on how to sell on Gumtree, how to be safer and how to get more money. Added a nice design to the book, got it proofread from family and the book was ready.
Then I paid about $90AUD for hosting and a domain and created this website- sellingongumtree.com
So after that, i created a one-page website, wrote some copy, linked the book with a buy button and did some basic SEO. The website was ready.
Now I've created a facebook page, reddit(i posted about my website then deleted the post), pinterest, whirlpool forum account. For now, I've only contacted people who listed their items on gumtree. I contacted over 100 people through email and i got less than 5 responses.
After two days and almost no interest, I know I should be a bit more patient but I'd like to get some feedback on my website and my progress. I just feel hopeless and want to cry(haven't cried so far) and I dont know why. I don't know if it will work and if i should spend more time on it or if i should stick with it.
