is ebook selling really that great? I see so many site about it and want to know if they are good sites? in general information is a great way to get people to buy as it save them the convience of searching but are ebooks really that great to sell and market? because I made several (under 10) and I have had success with them - but not enough where I can be like retired - but I made some income on them - that is why i am thinkin doing a better ebook website than what I see out there... ebook and infomation tools is it the way to go?
I never bought a ebook and i think i won't buy one ever as no book can teach you what experience teaches you
I wouldn't say it is the way to go , i've just always thought of it as being tacky and cheap unless your selling a worthy product. People have made alot from it but I wouldn't say it's the way to go unless you have a good product.
There are people that do very, very well with ebooks. The key is to have a quality product and either a good size list or get JVs and affiliates. As far as not learning from an ebook, I disagree. Experience does provide the best education but books (whether physical or digital) do provide a great deal of education. stavra
Sometime it do and some time it don't. It depend on what topic you're into. If you're offering topic that market eager to know, then you will make money out of it.
Proper promotion of ebook gives enough money. There many factors like, what is demand of the topic, is free resources are easily available etc. but you can over come all this factors buy doing proper promotions. While promoting your E-book diversify your revenue from joining other e-book affiliate programs which don’t compitiate with your e-books. SEObook is nice example how it has become super successful by providing Quality information. Though there are lots of free resources available.
Don't ever hope to get retired by selling ebooks. Whenever you release a new one, do hard promotion to squeeze as much from sales as you can. You will soon find out that it can be downloaded from p2p portals and the like, unfortunately (if it turns out to be a valuable buy). And you can't fight that but rather mov one and work on a new ebook to sell. A never ending routine, not compatible with the retirement plan
Ebook is an easy and cheap way to get access to new information. I have purchased so many ebooks from ebay website. Many of them turned to be just 30 percent informative but thats the risk that one takes to learn about something from that ebook.If your content of the ebook is unique, people will definately buy it. But you must have an ebook created for sale which people cannot copy it easily.
I have an ebook in a niche site that I created two years ago. It brings me steady, passive income every month. The trick to making money with ebooks is to focus on non-marketing niches and fulfill a genuine need for quality information. If you do this, you will always make money with your ebook no matter what. The income from the ebook I mentioned is truly passive. All I do is answer emails for about 10 minutes a day and cash my checks at the end of the month. I have to emphasise that this was a topic that I knew a great deal about and was very specialized in nature. If you have a great idea for an ebook, research and see if there is a market for it. A quick and dirty way would be to check to see how many google ads are running for your search term. If there are at least 7 or 8 you know that advertisers are making money from people willing to pay money for products and services in this niche. Once you identify a market, write an ebook or get a quality ebook written by professionals (check my sig ) You can then register to sell them through clickbank or paydotcom. I prefer clickbank because of the size of their affiliate network. Test your ebook using PPC to make sure it sells. If it is selling well, you can open your ebook to affiliates at clickbank. Never underestimate the power of affiliates. Many of them have mailing lists with several hundred thousand customers and websites with high PRs. They can bring you several sales a day with zero effort on your part. Clickbank even pays them so you really have nothing to do but answer customer emails and cash your checks every month. This income model is obviously working for some people that are raking in thousands of dollars passively through ebooks. IMHO, it is definitely worth exploring this income stream
It will be very difficult for you to retire with an ebook. The money will be in the other UPSELL products that you will sell to your list of customers (Your products or affiliate products).
I went to a seminar just before Xmas were 2 English guys were talkinag about how they make $70K a month from ebooks on small niches. Each niche makes them $1500-$2000 a month profit. They showed the proof of this so yes it's certainly possible but it's not like mega bucks overnight or anything. You obviously need to identify a niche and get a website set-up. By the way their websites were all automatic in that people purchase..they get sent to a page to download.
I disagree. A lot of people who are poor and in debt have "experience." They've made a bunch of mistakes throughout their lives, and though they may have experience, they may not be successful. An ebook, depending on the topic, can help you avoid costly mistakes. I personally will buy an ebook, so long as it is full of substance and not fluff. Experience is valuable, but knowlege is more valuable, as it can help you hold the painful mistakes that experience can bring about. An ebook can make you rich if you focus on a niche. If you write about making money with Adsense, or Internet Marketing, you will probably not be successful. Avoid writing about the same old topics that have been written about a thousand times, and you will be successful. Ebooks will always be in demand, because knowledge is power, and it will always be in demand. The success of an ebooks is dependent on its writing, not the market itself.
We've been selling highly targeted, niche ebooks for years and there's plenty of money to be made, certainly I have made enough to drop the majority of my other projects and pretty much concentrate solely on the digital product sites. Piracy exists, but in the end we concentrate on after-care and support plus have a dedicated and loyal customer base and obviously offer things that the pirates will ever have access to. Product life has been great; after 4 years the original book is still going strong even though you can get it for free through illegitimate channels, and all other books are exhibiting the same pattern. These aren't 'get rich quick'/'Make a fortune on Adsense' type of ebooks, they are very targeted, well written technical manuals created by recognised industry experts, so we can charge a premium without resorting to tacky sales letter sites etc. Obviously this kind of thing doesn't fall on your lap, it took many years to build to this - we have several site around the subject including a 50,000 strong community forum which acts as a gateway to the ecommerce site, so basically a highly qualified captive audience.
Don't buy ebook but to create ebooks based on the niches that are demanded by the specific targeted people or group to get the most out of your ebooks money making empire.
I make my own ebooks and sell others - I mean I have fairly well - esp with my own since its unique - I am creating something toward ebooks tho that is why I ask this - with affiliate help as well - since information is wanted everywhere
Most of the ebooks you see in forums like this promote money making ebooks. Obviously there's money in creating your own ebook. Like it was mentioned above, if you find a non marketing niche, find information and create an ebook on it.
money makin niche is so cluttered, one of my ebooks helps promote - but its not specifically making money and by the way guys here is my affilaite project: http://www.theianternet.com let me know what you think
