How To Sell (Yourself) Without Feeling Awkward

I have no idea how to sell myself. I’m bad at it. Something tells me I shouldn’t sell myself. It’s cheap. I’m not cheap. However, reading around the internet I found these tips to be useful, reasonable and common sense when you want to learn selling yourself.
