    Hey,

    Im planning on writing an ebook detailing how to get targeted visitors for $0.001 50x less than googles minimum charges, im wondering how much would this book be worth for both individual sale and a one off sale of all rights so the buyer could resell it?

    Thanks
    GP

    e-books need to be cheap, at least until you get consisten buyers. To start it off I'd make it like $1.95 or $2.95, cheap enough so people will be like "ahhh even if it doesn't help, it was only $2"... if you start gettinga lot of buyers, then you can increase it to $5 or something.

    I disagree. I'd make it expensive so it seems more exclusive. How many times have you bought something for $2 that wasn't crap?

    Make both! :)

    Just try a couple different strategies, different pricing and ideas of selling it.

    Yaroslav is right. You have to just experiment with prices. See what sales the best. I start high and then check the visitors. If I'm getting visitors and no sales. That means there's a problem. I usually reduce prices until I get a buyer.

    it works both ways with pricing. if its too cheap.. people think its junk. if its like $199 people wonder what could be that you are selling them for that much.
    than you got refund problems.. well thats my 2 cents

    Market it well and you could charge $39.50 - $49.50

    I'm not a fan of the long sales page, but it does work which is why people use it, but for something like this, your audience might be a little more informed about them. So long as your ebook is very informative and offers a unique approach which isn't present elsewhere on the internet then I think you stand a decent chance.
