SELLING E-BOOKS ON INTERNET

1. what are e-books?

E-books are books that were written specifically for the online environment. This means that to read the book in its entirety, you would have to connect to the Internet and download the book or read it whilst online. If you have the knack for writing, then you can write and sell an ebook of your own. However, if you're not exactly the creative writing type, you can still make money by reselling another writer's digital book online. If you wish to see the range of digital products available, you could look at a site such as clickbank.com or paydotcom.com.

3. do I have to write my own e-book to make money online?

No . you don’t have to write an e-book to sell on internet but if you can write one it’s best for you.you can also buy resale rights of somebody others e-book or you can simply promote somebody else’s e-book using affiliate marketing. Needless to say, the performance of your sales will largely depend on the quality of your product. Choose an e-book that has a topic that appeals to a broad niche.


If possible, read the entire e-book yourself so you will really know what it is all about and how you can market it best later on. After you have decided on the particular e-book you want to buy or promote, you can then work out a sales strategy. Some people like to buy the master rights to an e-book. Others are content with the generous commissions that are available on digital sales, often more than 50% of the book's sale price.

4.how to advertise your e-book ?

(a)Advertise on Google AdWords. Of the many advertisement media on the Internet, Google AdWords is the best in terms of generating traffic. Google places your ads in strategic places as sponsored ads in websites of similar content based on the keywords you will choose. This way, you are assured that the ads will go to areas where people are reading about the topic that you are writing. Thus, the probability that they will read your ad and be directed to your e-book is relatively high. You can choose to purchase texts or banners too. Studies indicate that banners get clicked more often than plain texts, so you will have higher traffic if you use banners (but banners are priced higher, so check your budget first).


(b) submit your e-book to directory of websites. Check for sites that offer free listings. You can search the Internet for websites that are formatted as a directory of websites for e-books.


(c) Join a blog site or forum. You may be surprised by this suggestion, but a lot of people would prefer to buy an e-book referred to them by their friends. Forums contain discussion boards that you can use to post a description of your e-book.


(d) Sell it on E-bay or Amazon. These sites are still the best in terms of buying and selling. Post a tantalizing but real description about your e-book.
(e)Write a review or have somebody write a review about your e book. By writing a review about your e-book, you provide the readers a detailed description to catch their attention and interest. Posting it in blogs or writing sites such as Associated Content will direct more people to your e-book.

5.what are the points I should keep in mind when writing e-books?

(a) Assume your customer knows nothing.

Every little detail must be focused on. Step by step means pictures, and explaining with examples. Go over what you would expect in a step by step guide.If you are advertising your product as a step by step e-book, there should be hardly any areas in which your reader will be scratching there head. Step by step means being guided easily through the process while being taught.Do not leave out what any word means. Something you may know might not be something your reader will know


(b) Make it as easy as possible to understand.

This means it is more than alright when writing a step by step guide to go over the same thing more than once in your book. Your readers will most likely appreciate it. This does not mean spend 5 pages talking about a topic that is not relevant.A good step by step guide needs to stay on topic and to the point while being thorough consistently. All the information being promised in the sales letter needs to be unleashed, and explained.If you are unsuccessful in teaching your customer how to do exactly what they want, what was the purpose of them buying the book from you? They would probably just return it, and you would definitely lose them as a customer.Be the expert they expect you to be.


(c) Test it out with people you can trust.

For example say you wrote a step by step guide on how to save money on gas. Give it to your friend who does not know anything about saving money on gas and see if he understands it. Maybe he will even proof read it for you in the process!
