    Do you have resell rights on all of your books?

    If you do, create a sales page, and list your item on clickbank and let everyone else do your work for you.

    I think it worth it if you buy some limited MRR ebook, in which not much person are able to resell the ebook in market. Less competition mean high profit. Just choose the right and latest ebook.

    Some people in Ebay who sell ebook because they add some affiliate link in the ebooks. And these may help for their affiliate sales. So you may even find people selling ebooks at about 0.5$. But this is a different story from yours.

    NO. Don't waste your time with them. UNLESS they are plr that you can make unique or add your affiliate links/promotional material to. Why waste your time trying to make a couple cents per sale (that seems to be where resell right ebooks are right now)..

    Instead, if you have giveaway rights, give them for free and build a list.

    Best,
    - Ana

    Almost true, a lot of people would be sceptical of them but you have to remember not everyone is technical or even aware of what they are, so there is always a new market.

    You can even try earning some money by distributing free e-book. It's a reliable pay per lead program. Check out my signature.

    Your best bet would be to offer e books free as an incentive to opt-in to your list. Most people won't just buy a random e book when they 1st visit your site.

    You can make money selling quality e books but there is more junk out there than anything else. You'll have better results promoting good e books to a responsive list that you've built a relationship with. Definitely make sure you read the e books before you promote them to anyone. You start pushing junk and you're going to lose credibility.

    Why not use some of the ideas in the e books to create content filled webpages? Offer useful content on your site and more free content (your e books) when they subscribe to your list. People love free stuff. The more you give away the more you'll end up getting in return. I know this sounds odd, but it's true. No really, it is.

    Your e-book must be unique and offer something new. People can get a lot of e-books for free all over the place. Personally, I wouldn't ever pay for one, no matter what - the information can always be gotten out there somewhere else without paying a cent. So make sure you're offering something original people will want. And to promote it, make it sound better than it really is.

    But I have a ebook "MatheMatics and Sex"

    I Search through Many ebooks site and they have this for more than 15$
    On Amazon its avaliable on Real book format
    Not Avaliable at ebay

    I buyed it from a Friend Through MSN .. and he said that i can Resell it anywhere ..

    This Book is Funny and very Intersting ..

    I think its Rare

    Is it worth to start a topic here to sell it?

    If it is on Amazon then you can probably not resell and your friend probably copied it illegally.

    Untrue. There are many people selling thousands of dollars a month in ebooks. Even reselling them.

    I think OP has illegal books and cannot sell them.
