Make Money Selling Ebooks Online

Make Money Selling ebooks Online - Guest Post/Article By Joshua Spaulding

Can you make money selling ebooks online? You might be thinking about all the ebooks that are being sold on eBay for less than a dollar, and wonder if you can compete with those people who have been selling for a long time.

The answer is yes, but you might need to have a different plan of action. How many ebooks have you bought that you have rights to? Maybe some were bought to teach you different areas of your business but if you have rights, then you can also sell them online.

You might have many $7 script books and products and decide to focus your site on all of these. You will not be building your list this way, but you will be getting 100% commission for selling them.

You should then put together some killer packages which have relevant products for a great price. Look at what you have and how you can add many bonuses to these products.

If you can write your own ebooks then you will be able to decide which rights you are giving on them and then price them accordingly.

You should then decide how you are going to sell these ebooks that you own or have written. If you have some books which are PLR then you should be looking at rewriting them. You might have a sales page with them which you can use to sell your new ebooks.

If you have no idea where to start then you should consider buying some cheap PLR’s and then to start to use them. You will never make any money from selling ebooks if you only leave them on your hard disk. If you do nothing with them, then you will make no money it is as simple as that.

(Visit my store for a full list of PLR resources available for beginners and more experienced users).

It will take time to get your products together, but don’t wait until you have them all sorted, aim to add a new product each week or month. If you have been buying lots of ebooks with rights then you might feel overwhelmed at the task ahead of you. Sort out your ebooks into categories and then see how you can use them together to produce a killer ebook on the subject. Start by using one book at a time, and then set a short time each week to add another book.

You can also package up the products you own and sell them as value for money bundles and offering them as one time offers using a script such as OTO Page Generator 

Take it slowly and see what you can learn and then see how you can start to make money selling ebooks.

Internet Marketing Tips - FREE

One of the biggest problems that most people encounter when trying to market something online is promotion. A great product or service will never make you any money unless you can get the word out to a large number of people. In the weeks ahead, once I have returned to a more solid working environment, I am planning to talk a great deal more about how I promote a wide range of things on the internet and what has or hasn't worked for me in the past. 

However, not wanting to let the blog get too stale while I am sitting in Miami Beach, I've decided to share a few very useful digital products with my readers, most of whom are here because they want to make money online.

Today's offering is an entirely free ebook entitled 101 Supertips. This is not the same as the incomparable Ultimate Supertip, although it comes from the same author, marketing expert Harvey Segal, and to get your copy you will need to register with your name and email address. The book is available in both PDF and .exe format and contains, as the title suggests, 101 Internet Marketing Tips.

If you have never read any of Harvey's ebooks, I cannot recommend them highly enough and over the years his advice has helped me to make a success of several of my own marketing efforts. Everybody can learn something from this book, and, to make it even more appealing, you will be able to rebrand your copy and use it for whatever purpose you wish - listbuilding, a free gift for blog subscribers, or just as a worthy title for anyone you want to help out.

The book offers a lot of information on subjects including

# Newbies
# Affiliate Programs
# Web design and content
# Website promotion
# Merchant selling
# Ebook publishing
# Theme sites
# Ezine Publishing
# Security and recovery
# Experts
# Productivity Ideas

and much more. As internet marketing ebooks go, you will be very pleased to have this one in your collection, no matter what your level of experience. Click on the cover image above to get your free copy of 101 Supertips and please give me your feedback once you have had a chance to read it - I guarantee you will learn something new.

Other free books in the series can be downloaded from the links below and include:-

Simple Ideas That Make Money

I'm still here in Miami with my wife and visiting the hospital at Mount Sinai Medical Center on a daily basis.

Our son recently underwent surgery on his heart at Miami Children's Hospital and has now been returned to Mount Sinai where he is recovering from his latest ordeal. The good news is that he has gained some weight and seems to be doing OK all things considered. It looks as though we will be here in the US for the forseeable future however.

One thing that always strikes me when watching the TV over here in the US is the plethora of products advertised - I'm a sucker for those wonderful ideas that often pop up on commercials and seem so blindingly simple that you wish you'd thought of them yourself. We purchased a couple of these products recently - a device called a ped egg which removes hard skin from the feet (my wife loves it) and a device for sharpening razor blades for re-use which will pay for itself very quickly judging by its performance so far. They are cheap and they work - this is why they sell so well.

These simple ideas are no doubt making the manufacturer and the inventor very wealthy. I try to apply the same principles when looking for opportunities online - keeping things simple makes them far more accessible to the masses and I wanted to mention two very simple but effective programs that have been putting commissions in my account on a regular basis since I first began promoting them. You can find them both in my sidebar here on the blog but I've placed the links below for anyone who might be interested too.

The Ultimate Supertip - this is so easy to use and promote and is proving very popular. I must thank all those who have signed up through my link because those PayPal deposits have been very welcome, particularly in recent weeks. It may not make you rich but it will definitely help you make some money online on a regular basis. It's free to download your copy, so please do go and have a look.

The Ultimate Supertip

The other similar idea is called the Ultimate Money Typhoon - it too converts very well and gives any entrepreneur some great tools for a very small investment of $10 - nice and affordable for everyone, and again, thanks to everyone who has bought the software through my links in the past - in our current situation every commission I earn is hugely welcome and I'm thankful that my online efforts help to pay for our enforced stay away from home.

Ultimate Money Typhoon

For simple ideas that work, these are highly recommended and cheap as chips so making back your initial small investment should be very easy and you will go on to make profits. Enjoy.

Ultimate Viral Marketing Method

The Ultimate Supertip - The Greatest Viral Marketing Idea Of All Time...... 

This post is going to be short and sweet and it's for anybody still trying to make money online. Whether you've made your first affiliate sale, are still waiting for that elusive first sale or are raking in regular commissions already - this is for you.

It's been described as the greatest marketing idea ever devised but I'll leave you to decide that for yourself.

All you need to do is download a copy of this free ebook - you won't even have to give up your email address - that's right, no opt-in required. Read the book and where you take it from there is up to you, but if you never read ebooks or have sworn off them for good, I think this one will change your mind.

All I'll add is that it works. Trust me I've tried it and the results are very good indeed. Oh, and you won't need anything aside from this free book, no software, no website...it's for anyone and everyone who cares to try it. Enjoy the read and let me know how it works for you!

When you get inside you'll see a membership site offer that is worth its weight in gold and free bonuses that are genuinely worth a lot of money and really worth having if you want to make money online. I can honestly and wholeheartedly give this my endorsement and recommendation as one of the very best offers online today, and anyone who reads my blog regularly will know that I don't often give such glowing recommendations.

I'll give you an example of just one of the perks - a year's silver membership at SureFire Wealth ($147 value) for only $10 has to be worth having - visit the SureFire Wealth website and see for yourself. As I say, that's just one of the bonuses and there are plenty more. Add them to the amazing viral power of the whole idea and I think you will be impressed - if you want to know how to start a flow of small commissions into your payment processing account on a regular basis, this is a great place to start. 

You really have nothing to lose by taking the first step and reading the book - you can thank me for the information later :-) 

Testimonials abound from some very big names including:-

Great idea Harvey! - Mark Joyner
Simpleology.com

Work of a masterful genius... a very intelligent piece of marketing on the Net. Brilliant. -Dr.Mani
EzineMarketingCenter.com

Harvey, you're a freakin' genius. I bought the product and am dizzy with anticipation over the coming results! -Jonathan Leger
AdSenseGold.com

No More Ebook Sales On Ebay

I thought I should mention this as my inbox has been flooded with the news since it recently became public.

Ebay have finally decided to put a stop to the sale of downloadable digital information products on the world famous auction site. This is no doubt going to upset a lot of Ebay sellers who have been bringing in a tidy additional income running an ebook business and wipes out, in one fell swoop, a lot of informational products and membership sites that have focused on this type of online money making effort.

With effect from March 31st 2008 auctions of downloadable digital information products will be allowed on in the classified ad section of Ebay. You can read Ebay's Official Statement Here 

I guess that it all comes back down to a minority spoiling a good thing for the majority of honest ebook sellers. Whatever the thinking behind the move, it will have a lot of people scrabbling for new ways to make money or sell their digital products, so while some will be crestfallen, many will probably see new opportunities unfolding.

Some experienced bloggers and marketers are already offering suggestions and alternative paths for the ousted Ebay sellers. 

If you are an Ebay seller and are wondering just what to do, you may be interested to read this free PDF report entitled 'Don't Panic' - PDF - Ebay Stops Ebook Sales  

I have never dabbled greatly in Ebay myself and am certainly no authority on the subject. I'm guessing that some of these entrepreneurs will defect to other auction sites which on the plus side may cost them less, but all are some way behind the mighty Ebay in the traffic department.

For those who were relying solely on the business model, this will no doubt be a huge blow, but as I always caution people, never put all your eggs in one basket when it comes to making money online. Changes can be swift and unexpected and you can go from hero to zero overnight when the rug is pulled out from under you.

Making money online should always be an excercise in diversification, without losing focus on any one aspect of your online ventures. Spread yourself too thin and you will struggle, but multiple streams of income are still the best way to go. Sounds like the theme for a new post.......

Caymanhost Blog Update

It's been quiet here on the blog for the past week or so for several reasons, the main one being that I've been in the middle of a house move. Loss of internet access occurred about a week or so before the move.

The good news is that I have ousted my old provider and now have state of the art connectivity through a clever little box of tricks that requires no phone line. In actual fact it requres very little of anything - I can plug it into any desktop or laptop, anywhere on the island, and I have a working connection. That is pretty awesome when I think back to my early days online and the hassle and expense involved. The other bonus is that it's even cheaper and faster than my previous setup!! (I'm actually still waiting for my own box of tricks but a friendly neighbor has lent me his (thanks Steve!)

Anyway, enough excuses for my absence. I mentioned a few posts back that I was planning on launching a newsletter and probably spoke too soon, as I have had a rethink on the whole thing and probably won't go ahead with it for the time being due to other projects.

If you read this post a soon as it went up you will have noticed that it's been edited and I have removed the offer of a stock trading newsletter - it's a long story but I have decided not to go ahead with the original plan.

Hopefully, I will be back to a regular posting schedule and back to providing some useful information very soon!

Make Money Online - Trading Penny Stocks

A completely different slant on using the internet to make money today.

Before saying anything you should know this - you need to have some money to invest. it's high risk, you can make good money, you can lose your shirt. There, fair warning if you don't want to read any more.

I'll be brief, because much has been written about trading stock, in particular penny stocks, online and by far more qualified people than me.

If the idea of an exciting risky investment strategy appeals to you, trading penny stocks could be the adrenalin fix you are seeking. It's pretty simple to get started, but success or failure are equally possible results.

Firstly, penny stocks are usually defined as stocks trading at below $5 a share. Some people consider this arbitrary amount differently and would say that $2 would be a better yardstick, but, whatever the definition, these are shares usually traded outside of the major exchanges. They are often volatile and unpredictable and their performance is very difficult to monitor or foresee.

Trading stock online is not difficult, although I would recommend a lot of study before you get involved. Once you have a basic understanding of how it works and decide to give it a try, you will need an account with an online stockbroker.

For penny stock trading Lowtrades.com offer a very good service. To set up an account you will need to submit an application form by post. This can be downloaded in PDF format from their site. Once you have opened an account you will need to fund it (more details of how to do this are listed at the site too) and then, you are ready to trade.

In very simplistic terms you will place orders with your broker via the online trading interface and they will carry out your buying and selling instructions. Each trade you carry out, buying or selling, will cost you a small commission to the broker. With Lowtrades usually around $5. Full details are on the site once again.

The rewards can be tremendous - it is entirely possible to make hundreds of dollars in a day. As an example I bought stock on a recommendation on a Monday morning that made me over $600 before trading closed at the end of the day. Sounds great? Well, as long as you remember it could just have easily lost me that amount too. 

Here's a look at another recent stock pick by way of example:-

The stock price was $5.40 when trading closed on Friday 25 January, the day it was recommended as a potentially good buy. An investor with $1000 available to buy could grab around 185 shares at this price.

The screenshot below shows the closing price on the following Monday 28 January - $5.98 For our $1000 dollar investment that's a $107 profit less commissions. OK, so, not brilliant, but you're in the black. 


The following day, January 29 the stock continued to perform well, peaking at $6.49 and closing at $6.37. 


Our investor therefore had potential profit of $201 had he or she sold all shares at the peak. If they've held onto the stock they still finish the day at $180 up. What will happen tomorrow? Well, that's the buzz of trading, you don't know for sure - you might be kicking yourself for selling and getting out too early, or you could be riding a bigger wave for a while.

As it turned out the stock price peaked at $7.22 and has since fallen back to around $6.44 on February 7 2008.  

There is no minimum required to open a trading account with Lowtrade by the way. It stands to reason that the more you are prepared to invest - the larger the potential gains/losses. Still, whether it's 200, 2000 or 20000, a profit is a profit and our investor did pretty well, pretty quickly!

My advice is always this  - never invest anything that you can't afford to lose. This is a gamble, and if you don't have the constitution for risking the purchase price, don't start with online trading of any kind. Temptation is a sneaky thing - when dollar signs are obscuring the clarity of your vision, sit back and have a good think about what you are planning to do.

Now, I will close by saying that just as in so many areas, there are plenty of hucksters  involved in the penny stock markets, just as there always are in any area where there is money to be made. I would recommend you read up on some of the tricks that are often pulled by unscrupulous people who will use tactics like "pump and dump" where they will try to push up a stock's price with loads of unfounded hype and the dump their own holdings on unsuspecting traders. This is illegal of course but it does happen.

If you want to start trading penny stocks online, read up on the subject carefully and learn as much as you can. There are plenty of helpful websites such as AllPennyStocks.com where you can begin to learn.

I edited this post having initially mentioned a newsletter subscription sold via Clickbank. Some people swear by it and it has produced some good picks, but others believe that there are some problems with the site and its operators. I've now decided to stop promoting it due to the rising level of complaints, despite the fact that it has topped Clickbank's sales charts for some time. For a great range of stock trading publications and advice visit my Stock Trading Ebook and Software pages.

If you're new to trading stocks, I've given you a few cautionary tales but with due diligence and learning you can find the winners. I always think carefully before recommending risky ventures, but I've given you the information to start investigating. Where you go from there is entirely up to you :-)
