    From someone that has made $4,000 in the last three weeks selling an eBook that took all of forty five minutes to write... yes, you can definitely make money with eBooks. But they have to be unique - not some crappy PLR stuff :)

    the only book i've bought was the SEO book written by Aaron Wall. i think if you write something even close to that you could earn money from selling ebooks.

    I am selling 4-7 ebooks a day. But like the above poster says; make sure you have something worth-while. All that copied crap is worth nothing.

    I too have the same question. I am looking for that online opportunity to make money-it is elusive.

    I made $1,500+ in the past 10 days from ebook selling. And it's still selling. As long as you have a good product, it will sell.

    Selling hardbooks is not dying also. It's started hundred years ago.

    And still people selling books and make huge profit.

    Same goes to e-Books, everyday new e-Book will come out and there
    will be selling and live on!



    :)
    Purely Amazing,

    Any directory of the best ebooks (including MRR would be a must!)?

    Do you think that Clickbank is the best solution to sell ebooks?

    i don't think selling the ebook would die because people always searching for new information everyday and the effective way is deliver it using ebooks.

    Like others said, selling ebook would make you lot of money. Just a matter of the quality of the ebook and how you market it is important.

    I make great money on the net with and without ebook sales. To many times recently I see e-books that look like they are just a new PLR instead of an actual new concept. E-books won't die but the prices have came down a bit... Thats not a bad thing.

    I have been making a full-time income writing and selling e-books since 2002.

    1) Write an e-book
    2) Set up a one-page "sales letter" website that takes payments
    3) Drive traffic to that site

    It's a numbers game. Let's say 1 out of every 100 visitors buys your e-book. That means that if you drive 500 visitors, you'll sell 5 e-books, etc.

    Best regards,
    Melanie

    Yes, Melanie is right. It is all a numbers game. Personally I prefer to use some form of a teaser. Perhaps a free report, or free audio or something along those lines before actual sending them to the sales page. This gets them onto your list and into your marketing funnel allowing you to form a relationship with them, and/or have an autoresponder series follow up with them pre-selling them even more on your ebook. Which will in turn lead to a sale, knock on wood!

    Cheers

    If its all targetted traffic and your getting 1 out of 100. That is bad.

    Why don't people just google the info instead of spending money on an ebook?

    for example, if he wants to know how to make money on ebay, then he can just google the keywords " make money on ebay " it is FREE and lots of info.:rolleyes:

    yep, but they don't sell just info, they sell "dream" that after reading this ebook you will be able to immediately start making money online. Did you notice that they include screenshots of paychecks for thousands of dollars? They got you emotional and mix it with logic facts and here you are: sold and happy.
