im just wondering, whats the best way to make money? It seems like if you publish a good ebook you could make alot of money with people selling it for you. Am I missing something here? Thanks
Are you talking mainly about being an affiliate or being a publisher? There's a lot of money to be made in both, no one can say statistically that either is better. There's many publishers and affiliates that both rake in the cash, as well as publishers and affiliates who both don't make much at all. If you publish a good ebook you definitely could make money with people selling it for you. As always though, the question remains: who is this lot of people selling it for you, how do you find them and convince them to sell your product from the myriad of others out there? If you found something that was an instant hit, you could definitely achieve some instant popularity... or if you established your name fairly well in a specific market and then hyped up your product launch, you could explode onto the scene very profitably (*cough*Day Job Killer*cough*). Either way, both take work of similar natures. However, if you're just starting out, I would definitely recommend being an affiliate before trying to sell your own product, as you'll need to know very intricately the details of affiliate marketing and how to make sales if you want to be optimally successful as a merchant. -T
