I think you are right. Most online businesses are going to deal with sales in some form or fashion, this is only because to make money you have to swap money for something. With the rebate processing you will be swapping money for your time. I know sales can seem intimidating, but you have to realize "selling" online is not like selling a used car. It's much more about advertising. Which can be totally fun. You advertise your products/service and then people contact you to find out more. There are a million ways to advertise online and when you find a company that has an excellent team they will help you out every step of the way to learn how to most effectively advertise your business. One last thing. No matter what you are doing you are always selling. Because people don't REALLY buy a business/product they buy YOU. A study was done where they asked a bunch of people who went to a network marketing meeting to rank things in order of importance. The person who was presenting the information was one and whether the person felt they could be successful was number 2. Info about the company and products did not come in until number 5. It's all about you!!! So even if you have crappy products ~ which I don't suggest you align yourself with poor products ~ what it really comes down to is shining who YOU ARE clear calm and bright and people will be attracted to that. Good luck and I hope you find just what you are looking for. :) Jackie
