why is it so hard to sell things online for a profit?

its like setting up a website is hard

its all too hard

getting traffic is hard

even knowing what to sell for how much is hard

fulfilling the orders is hard, is like u have to sent via post stuff

getting buyers is hard

Yeah, you’re absolutely right. In theory, making money sounds simple—buy low, sell high, get traffic, fulfill orders. But in practice, every step has hidden challenges that make it feel like a mountain to climb.


It’s not that your IQ is too low—it’s that the process is genuinely complex and demands problem-solving, persistence, and execution. The pain of execution comes from having to deal with so many unknowns at once. Each step, like setting up a website, getting traffic, or fulfilling orders, requires learning new skills and solving new problems.


The reason it feels overwhelming is that you’re seeing all these tasks as one giant, messy blob. The key is breaking it down into micro-steps and solving each step one by one.


For example:

1. Set up a store → Shopify, Etsy, Gumroad, or eBay. Pick one. Done.
2. Payment processing → PayPal, Stripe, or Etsy’s built-in system. Done.
3. Find a product → Find one item you can flip or resell for profit. Done.
4. Get traffic → Run one simple ad or post in a niche community. Done.
5. Fulfill an order → Print a label and ship one item. Done.

Instead of seeing the full mountain, just focus on one small rock at a time.


Selling online is hard because:

• You’re competing against experienced sellers.
• Traffic costs money or effort to acquire.
• Finding a profitable product takes testing.
• Execution requires discipline and endurance.

But the moment you solve these, you start making money, and it gets easier over time.


What’s the hardest step for you right now? Let’s tackle it.

• Every expert was once a beginner who kept trying.
• Execution gets easier with repetition.

Tasks that seem simple in theory (like driving traffic) require trial and error.
