Honest Opinions about Selling Online

    I recently started WritersHall.com, and I am almost finished with my ebooks, Audio, and other resources.

    It seems that DP is a great way to get some insight, so I am wondering what you all have to say about this:

    What are the best methods to selling my products?
    Is there a particular website that you know sells ebooks/audio/etc.?

    I am looking forward too all of your honest opinions.

    Long term, the best method is to make sure your site is search engine optimized so that people looking to buy your type of product can find it on the first page of Google. Once you're on the first page with relevant keywords, you'll start making sales without doing any work.

    You should also consider selling your product here and on the Warrior Forums so you can get some feedback on your products. It's always nice to have testimonials to refer potential customers to.

    Offer an affiliate program with high commission and get other people to sell your products ;)

    I've considered this, but don't know exactly the best way of doing this? (I'm more of a writer than an affiliate Wiz :p)

    Sorry about that -- forgot to mention that in the OP.
    It's writing niche - targeting anyone looking to starting a writing career (online & 'óffline')

    More specifically, without giving too much away ATM, topics cover a wide range, from blogging tips to writing resources to maintaining clientèle relationships.

    ...hope that helps some!

    The market you are in is heavily saturated and the buyers are all skeptics because of so many bad products. Yours better be good and you need to join writers forums to get the word out.

    I've always been a big fan of viral marketing. Basically what I do is get some short reports out there with my affiliate links and distribute them through resellers, giveaways, etc. And since you're a writer it makes it even easier. That's always been the hardest part for me lol.
