    Hello,
    As You All Know, I'm A Writer By Profession Who Is Almost Zero In Everything Else. As I'm Planning To Sell My First Ebook, I Need Help On The Following

    1 - Minisite
    Can Anybody Tell Me How To Create A Minisite For Free? Will It Be Possible To Have It Using Wordpress? Is There Any Other Free Software For That?

    2 - ClickBank
    As I Have Not Yet Decided The Marketing Plan, I Need Your Advice On If I Should Use Clickbank or e-Junkie or Direct PayPal. The Main Issue Is That I Don't Have Any Mailing List or Subscribers To Sell Something Directly..

    3 - Traffic
    You Know, I'm Not That Tech-Tricky, Don't Know How To Have Enough Traffic. Can Anybody Tell Me The Best Possible [simple] Ways To Have A Good Traffic?

    Thanks In Advance

    1- it is possible to use wordpress but i would suggest just a mini site with head and footer and a good headline. Conversions are better. If it didn't work, marketers will not do it.
    2- There's other hosting like CB too, on example paydotcom but I prefer CB because there is more affiliates. You can make so and so money with just hosting it on CB without doing a launch (unless it's an HIT) but to compete and stay on the top ten list on CB you need to at least do a launch. That's how bigger guys do it. They become 10 ten on CB overnight. That's where you're constantly making sales from affiliates.

    3- do a launch and recruit JV's and affiliates, pay per click through google or other search engines, article marketing, search engine optimization for organic search and ranking, youtube and other video sites and etc.... There's a lot of other ways too.

    Is this a make money product or is it in other niche other than make money?

    #1 when you want to sell your ebook you don't need a huge wordpress site, 1-pager sometimes enough
    #2 you can run email marketing campaign (e.g. check here: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1827170) and accept money via Paypal or AlertPay(no fees)
    #3 since search engines do not like sales pages, don't expect much of organic traffic - buy it somewhere else instead

    Thanks for the info. I'll try any of these when I'm ready with the stuff. Anyway, I just have created a WP page that you can access via my Signature.

    good start
    you need some blob about why it is not like any other ebook on the subject and paypal order button.
    You may also consider to lower the price significantly for a sake of making more or any sales. I would not spend $27 on anything I am not sure about. If you would describe in the blob why this is exactly what I need I would probably pay $10 tops.

    Thanks again, for the great suggestions. I have made the changes.
    PayPal button is not yet added because the ebook is not yet in the final stage - proofreading & revisions on the go!

    One more thing I would like to ask you is "Do you think it will be safe to give PayPal button directly in the site? Don't you think others would copy the download link?" I prefer using either CB or e-junkie to manage the sales [n will be back to you when I need traffic!]

    I understand paypal button should take them to paypal to make the payment. They will receive the link in the paypal confirmation message. You can change that link every once in a while, if you afraid somebody start to distribute your download link on the internet (but they as well may download and host it elsewhere).

    I only can agree with that - I am very content with e-junkie as easy to use, effective and reliable.

    Oh, another idea: have you ever thought about to sell your book on Amazon? Look at "Sell on Amazon", you find it in the footer.

    Recently I saw a bookstore for ebooks there: http: //amzn.to/amazon_example ,

    which made me think about as an opportunity for myself .
