It has been one helliva frustrating two weeks for this old dyslexic bas----. First, I found out my web host wanted a small war pension to upgrade my web so I could sell my books on it. So, I thought, screw you mister. I'd have to sell over three hundred books just to break even. That's about two hundred more than I expect to sell. Then I bought a MS web building program and wasted almost the whole week learning nothing and succeeded in producing zero. I threw that away and joined another host (the top rated host in the nation) who seemed to offer everything I wanted at a reasonable price. The FREE site cost almost a C note. I only wanted a web with a page or two that a buyer could link to from my present web.
I sighed up. After they got my money, I had to wade through forty-seven million six hundred and two, optional upgrades (all of which I felt I needed) but I managed say no to. Now I sit here twiddling my thumbs while I wait for my credit card to clear the bank so I can delve back into setting up another web and suffering through another week or so of frustration.
What in the hell ever possessed me into becoming a writer?
Morning Ray!
ReplyDeleteWhat exactly are you wanting your website to look like? You should be able to sell your books through Amazon and all you need is a link from your site to theirs. You'll lose a bit of money to them but they handle the transaction costs on their end via paypal or some such intermediary. Building a website from scratch is too much trouble - I know I've taken classes on it.
LOL I'm with you, Ray. But, you know what? Since you know what a "host" is and what one does? You know WAY more than I do about the internet and websites!

I think I got it figured out. I'll go door to door or stand on the corner somewhere and sell them, save me a lot of frustration. I already sold more than Amazon did, to my neighbors. It didn't make any difference to me that they were three sheets to the wind when they forked out the money.
