    Ebook selling doesn't need any finance behind it. Which is one of the beauty's of doing it.

    If you are going full scale up on Clickbank and such then yes. However you can easily sell on forums like DP and make quite a lot.

    It is a BILLION dollar a year industry so the answer is yes.

    Ebooks can be very profitable. You don't have to limit yourself to selling your own book either. It is possible to sell ebooks written by others.

    I'm new here, and this is my 1st post. My take is that anything is profitable.It is all about marketing. Not sure if anyone remembers the product *Pet Rock*, but it was literally a small stone with a leash & a name tag (similar to the ones you put on your dogs collar), wrapped up in a box and sold to millions of people for like $20 a pop.

    There would always be fresh set of newbies coming on the internet everyday to try their hand at IM. You surely have a consistent market for such Ebooks if you have covered a well targeted niche and your selling concept is good! :)

    But it's too commonly used and the markets kinda saturated with books like BTB etc.

    Yeah, but if you can get your hands on a new NICHE one that isn't all that common you can easily generate heavy revenue in no time whatsoever as long as your marketing strategy is good enough IMHO :)

    A Good niche will get you far enough, but understand that once you get into a niche writing business make sure that you don't influence it in such a form that the market for the said niche gets saturated too quickly :)
