Sheesh… some writers have all the luck.
Their touch is Midas like. Whatever they publish turns to gold.
I wish I could be that lucky duck.
Unfortunately I still manage to crank out a great big flop every now and then.
And as someone who sells an ebook on how to write and sell information products, I think it’s only fair to periodically remind my readers of this fact.
You can in fact bust your hump day-after-day, visualizing success using every fiber of your being, and still end up with a losing information product.
But don’t feel like you’re alone.
It happens in every industry. Even to the biggest of players.
Think about performers who have triple platinum albums one year, and the next their bashed by the critics.
They don’t give up.
Instead they take some time off, and then they head back into the recording studio and try, try again.
A good friend of mine used to run a singing telegram business. I remember days when the phone would be completely dead. All of sudden at 3pm, they’d begin ringing off the hook. Then at 4pm they’d stop. And she’d have everyone booked within that one hour. Weird!
I’ve had times when ALL my ebook sales have suddenly stopped for no apparent reason. Not just for days - for weeks.
Then as quickly as it all went down the drain, the sales started back up again.
There’s an ebb and flow to everything in life. Even in this business.
So don’t be shocked or discouraged by it.
Just realize that it does exist. You will probably meet it face-to-face. And you’ll scratch your head in utter disbelief as we all do.
Prepare for the ebb and continue growing rich,
Alexis Dawes
