how to get started and more importantly, make money with ebook marketing. We
will teach you how to start making money with ebooks.
An ebook, as defined by Wikipedia, is "an electronic (or digital) equivalent of a
conventional printed book." As the
internet
becomes more and more popular, so to does the transmission of digital
information such as ebooks. Naturally, most of us want to find a way to profit
from this new trend. If you are one of these people who are looking to
make money
online with ebooks, you have come to the right place.
Understanding and mastering these six areas of an eBay
auction are absolutely essential to maximize the success and profitability of
your auctions.
There are three basic ways to make money with ebooks.
Writing your own ebooks, selling someone else's ebooks, or both.
Writing Your Own
ebook - First, let's take a look at writing your own ebooks. It's not
all that difficult and if you have ever written an essay for a school assignment
you have all the prerequisites already. You don't have to be an expert on your
ebook subject, although it helps, as most information can be found online and in
your local library. You don't even have to be a good writer as most word
processors have grammar and spell checking tools.
So, once you decide that you want to write your own
ebook, you need to find a "niche" market or subject to write about. The more
specific you make your ebook, the better it will sell.
Your next step is to complete an outline and table of
contents. Having an outline will help you organize your thoughts and ensure that
your new ebook flows well and keeps the reader focused. Once your initial
outline is done (you can modify it as you go) you need to start your research.
Get a pen and paper and spend several hours
researching
web
sites
related to each and every chapter of your ebook. Taking notes with a pen and
paper will help ensure that you do not run into plagiarism issues. Be sure to
spend a few hours in your local library as well. Research is one of the most
important steps, even if you consider yourself an expert on your topic.
Once your research is completed, you are ready to begin
writing. Use your outline to keep your efforts organized and on topic. Start
with a rough draft and then get your friends and family to proof read it. Never
do your one proof reading and editing!
Once your ebook is written, ad some nice graphics and a
cover page. Compile the ebook into an ebook format (I suggest pdf) and you are
finished. You should not have a unique and original ebook that you can sell.
Selling Someone Else's ebooks
- Many of us don't have the "author" bug in us and the prospect of
writing our own ebook reminds us of visiting the dentist. Do not fear, there are
literally thousands of authors out there that need help selling there
ebooks.
Selling ebooks is just another off-shoot of
affiliate
marketing.
Sign up with an number of affiliate programs and sell the ebooks you want using
your own website, email lists, or even word of mouth. Many people make their
living selling ebooks using affiliate programs. You can read more about

Writing and Selling Your One
ebook - This is actually a lot harder that people think. Most of us are
good at writing or marketing, very few of us are good at both. However, if you
feel you can handle both roles you can make even more money.
Use the section above to write your own ebook. Read out
affiliate
marketing section to better understand how affiliates work. Then, sign up as
an advertiser with any number of affiliate programs.
As an advertiser, you tell the affiliate networks what
price you want your new ebook sold for and what commission you want to offer
your affiliates. In addition, you will want to make your own landing pages for
your ebook so that your
affiliates
can send new customers to your ebook. We truly want to ensure that you make money with ebooks.
