How Anyone Can Use Ebooks For Profit
I'd like to show you how easy it is to make
profits with Ebooks, even if
you have not written one single word...
==> Why do all the hard work, when others have already done it for you? :-)
Let me explain...
The secret is... start selling other people's Ebooks!
Here are the advantages:
- Your Ebook selling business can be 100% automated.
You just need to upload the E-book files to your web server, create a
special web page with all the Ebook images on, and set up an order
and download link. If you constantly promote the link to your sales
page, you'll soon see new orders drop in.
- There are no products to ship or services to fulfill.
Everything can be taken care of 100% online and in most cases without
any involvement from your side.
- Little cost to start-up your Ebook business.
If you want, you can set up a free web hosting account to store your
Ebooks and sales page.
However, if you are a professional you will want to get a paid account,
because free hosting services are not 100% reliable. Their servers have
a lot of downtimes, and if your website visitors see an error page when
they come to your web site, you may believe they won't visit you again.
I recommend you to set up a basic account with
HostGator.
It's the best web hosting service for online marketers, with tons of
features.
- Your own domain name
Your own domain name gives your business an impression of professionalism,
so it is worth investing in one.
These days you can get your own domain for only 6.95$ a year (if you
order a domain name for 10 years) at:
http://www.godaddy.com
It's best to pick a short domain name, that's easy to remember, and you
should go for the .com suffix.
- Accepting credit card payments from your web site.
If you're selling Ebooks you'll need to accept credit card payments. The
cheapest way to do this is to use a third-party processor like Clickbank.
Clickbank is specialized in selling digitally delivered products, like
Ebooks.
TIP: You can also add an affiliate program to your product and Clickbank
will take care of paying affiliates their commission.
You can go to Clickbank and open a free account and only pay the set-up
fee when you're ready to start selling.

To accept credit card payments, you'll have to pay a one-time fee of
$49.95 to set-up and they charge $1 + 7.5% commission of every sale
you make.
- You don't have to update the Ebook sales page
If you can write a short paragraph description for every Ebook, you can
start selling. All you need to do now is promote your sales page in a
legal way -without spamming or using bulk email.
Here are some tips:
- You can mention your Ebook sales page in your sig file, and participate
in Ebook related forums. Just help others, offer practical tips, and leave
your sig file. Do a search for Ebooks, writers or Epublishers on
Google.com
and you'll find lots of interesting forums and links to contribute your
material
to. Just don't spam people, always be honest and helpful.
- Bid pennies for targeted traffic to your sales page.
The cheapest way to get traffic to your web site is to bid for traffic using
a pay-per-click search engine. You can get visitors at prices starting from
just $0.01 each! You only pay for targeted click throughs, and get full
control over your listings, keywords, and how much you want to pay per
click.
- Place ads in Ezines, that cater to your subject.
If you're selling an Ebook on "How to play better golf", place a sponsor
ad in a golf or sports related newsletter.
TIP: Instead of paying for the ad, you may offer a free copy of the Ebook
to the Ezine publisher, and ask him/her for a review. Share 50% of every
sale you make via your affiliate program. Clickbank is a great service for
this.
- You can write an article about an Ebook issue, and add your by line,
including a link to your Ebook sales page.
-Etc.
I'm confident that you can come up with dozens of other alternatives to
spread the word about your Ebook service.
I'm only offering you a basic plan here...
Hope you enjoy selling Ebooks as much as I do ;-)
