I can see that this site has an entire section devoted to buying and selling eBooks. I'm interested in writing a couple of eBooks myself...but I'm in a bit of a fix: I have no idea how to execute the transactions. I've checked sites like Clickbank and e-Junkies, but they all require payment in order for them to work, and PayDotCom is just plain confusing Can anyone shed some light on how people sell (and set up a "Shop") for their eBooks? Thanks alot in advance! And sorry for being a noob
Try payloadz.com - i think they are free with an option to upgrade to a higher ac level if you want. Payloadz is also good if you want to email a copy to a buyer if they send payment straight to you ac like if you sell from here. I found e-junkie actually fairly easy to use and similar to most other digital marketplaces. e-junkie had a special trial code to input when you sign up for an ac to get so many days free trial so if you search google you can find that - then it only cost $5 per month which not too bad considering you would be paying at least that for web hosting of your own site. So its better for people who are not good with html and web design. Those places normally involve listing each digital item u wish selling in a separate listing if you have lots individual items that are not sold in one big bundle - then i suggest you go to ebay and find/buy one of those templates for a ready made ebook store which includes 200 ebooks and software titles - then just ask the seller if u buy or hire someone from dp here to install it to a host. Would cost like $5 for monthly hosting and $5 to get the script installed. Then you just have add your new items and those scripts normally have a fairly simple to use back end admin area. good luck
I strongly suggest you don't sell using middle man service such as ejunkies coz the commission they take is high. Instead you can save a lot if you setup a site your self such as using digital delivery script.
Any chance I could just open a blog on Blogger? I'm really in a "0 investment" situation at the moment... so I'm trying as hard as I can to avoid hosting or paying for services. And what about Payloadz? Keen said they were free
Why can't you just set-up a standard web page and open up a free paypal account to accept payment? Problem with things like blogger - if you're selling from a free host it pretty much screams "amateur". You'll probably need to make some light investments like your own domain name and basic hosting.
