    Hi!

    I have written two books both between 60 and 100 pages.
    The topics are SEO and Social Media Marketing.

    I want to sell this book online and need some input on how I should do this most successfully. I have never sold any ebooks before and I'm completely newbie in this field.

    I would like the buyers to be able to buy it for i.e. 29$pr book and if possible give the people that is buying both books in one purchase both books for 49 $. I am not sure what I will do about this an I'm completely open for any suggestions regarding this.

    A secure payment solution distribution is a must. This must produse the invoices automatically. and I must be able to track the purchases / conversions with Google conversion tracking.

    The distribution must be piracy protected but in PDF format!

    I also would need advices regarding how to distribute the ebook for sale.
    Is Clickbank an option? Any other solutions? Do I need Paypal?

    Anyone with experience in this field that can give me some advices?

    Thanks in advance!

    Sincerely,
    Trond

    Generally, you can add them to Clickbank and hope that affiliates will want to help you market it. Obviously, you're an expert on social media marketing, so I would probably use that expertise to help you market this as well. Also, use real examples, show proof in the Buy, Sell, Trade section and people will buy from you thre as well. :)

    You can use ejunkie to distribute the ebooks and payments can be accepted via paypal. So basically if some one want your book they would purchase it through paypal and then ejunkie would send them a download link via email.

    I am not sure how secure it is, its hard to stop pirates, but it does work well.

    ClickBank is an option indeed and you don't need PayPal for this option. You'll get paid via direct payment in your bank account or check :)eek:) - it depends in what country you're living in.

    Clickbank would be your best bet, there are softwares out there that can protect your ebook with encryption codes. Several free choices out there, would just have to Google it.
