While most freelancers and contractors offer personal services – consultancies and suchlike – there are still a large amount of self-employed people out there who make and sell physical things. If you’re going to be selling things, these days you’ll be nowhere without an online store!

Luckily, experts in all things eCommerce Actinic have stepped in to offer up some of their advice in the form of a handy book by their CEO, Chris Barling, called Selling Successfully Online (see our review here).

We’ve been given a few copies of the book to give away to our readers, so if you think a book full of useful hints on how to sell your wares on the big bad internet could be of use to you – you’re in luck!

We are also happy to report that Selling Successfully Online has one of the finest “new book” smells we’ve ever experienced, so not only are you getting a useful guide, you’re also getting something you can pry open and go “Mmmmmm.” at over and over again.
