How to Sell An eBook - You Can Do It

Do you want to work online from home? Learning how to sell an eBook online is a valuable skill that can generate handsome profits or round out the services offered by home-based business owners.

Every day people go online to buy information in the form of an eBook about topics that range from how to do magic tricks and build model airplanes, to how to write a song or pitch a fastball, or how to dance the tango, and more.

How do you sell eBooks online?

The process is not complex but, if you want to succeed, you should know what you are doing. There are two major components to becoming a successful eBook writer and learning how to sell eBooks online: writing and marketing your eBook.

What are eBooks?

Well-written eBooks are similar to paper books in that they deliver the promised information in an easy to read style. In contrast to most paper books, eBooks are pamphlets or shorter books sold online and downloaded from a computer; in other words, they are digital products.

eBooks differ from paper books in that you do not need to have a publisher or agent (or split profits with them) and you do not need to promote them in bookstores because the internet is your marketplace.

Generally,an eBook is written in a word processing program and converted to a PDF file once it is ready for sale. The next step is promoting it with informative articles and the use of social marketing and other options.

You don't have to be a writer to publish and eBook.

It isn't necessary that you have experience as a writer in order to produce an eBook. If you are not a writer and you have a particular skill or information to share on a topic such as how to train a horse, you can hire someone at a very reasonable rate to write you eBook for you.

Write for Others or Yourself.

If you are a writer with information to share, with a little bit of orientation to writing eBooks, you can do well. Even if you don't' have a hobby or interest to share, you can put your research and writing skills to work for others to put real money in your pocket.

If you don't fit any of these categories, there is still an option for you.

We test-drove the services of a company named Niche Profit Classroom. The owners have used their more than ten years of experience in internet marketing to create a comprehensive array of programs covering all aspects of internet marketing.

The eBook Kit:

Relative to eBooks, they offer training in writing eBooks and, on a monthly basis, they release an new eBook kit that can be customized by the user.

The eBook kit contains all of the elements you need to create a website and promote the eBook online: website photos, drafts of articles, keywords, and images. In addition you have access to their keyword and website building software and to support with 24-hour turnaround.

We found this an excellent way for a newbie to learn and a great way for a more seasoned individual to make use of their talent.

Our Review of Niche Profit Classroom:

We spent more than 45 days evaluating this product. We found the programs to be very good and found their clear step-by-step approach to be consistent throughout. We were particularly glad to learn that all recommendations are updated on a regular basis to meet Google's ever-changing standards.

Initially, we experienced a delay in customer support turnaround time, but this was corrected once we brought it to their attention.

They offer a 14-day trial for $1. The trial includes access to every one of their products and programs.

Conclusion:

eBooks cost very little to produce and once you have written them the profit is yours to keep.

The information age is still very new. It is pretty much a given that the internet will continue as the most important platform created for information marketing for many years to come.

We give Niche Profit Classroom a strong 'thumbs up' for those looking to learn how to sell and eBook online for profit. Don't let your fear stop you. Learning how to sell eBooks online is an easily learned step-by-step process.

Preparing to Write Your First Ebook

You've got a great idea for an eBook and you'd like to share your knowledge with the public. You're in good company. The market for informative online content is exploding and new titles appear online every day. Before you can join the ranks of successful eBook writers, you have to create quality content that delivers value to your target audience. Fortunately, with a little preparation, you can deliver the quality product your readers are searching for.

If you have an idea of which topic you'd like to write about, you must determine who your target audience is. Successful eBook writers tailor their topic to their target audience. Do some research into your target audience to find out what topics they're most interested in and what unmet needs they may have. If you've chosen "Party Planning" as your topic and your target audience is women getting married; you'd want to narrow your product to a specific niche of party planning that would be useful to them. One such topic would be, "Planning Your Perfect Engagement Party."

Once you have refined your topic to fit your target audience, the next step is to create an outline for your ebook. Outlines are an important tool for eBook writers as they provide a road map for your ebook. In addition to briefly covering the introduction and conclusion, you'll want to include a brief section for each of the major sections/chapters you'd like to cover. A simple heading followed by bullet points for your key insights is all you really need. At this point you might want to consider doing some basic research to get a better overall understanding of the topic you're writing about and the main points you'd like to cover. A basic outline can be anywhere from 2-4 pages, depending on the intended length of your finished work and the amount of information you'll be covering.

Now that you have your framework ready it's time to flesh out the outline you created. This is when you'll want to do more extensive research into your topic. Remember that your outline is a guideline. It's okay to add information or revise and re-arrange topics. After you've done more research into your topic, your outline may look completely different from when you started. The most important thing to keep in mind is to find good, accurate information for your readers. Keep a record of all sources you end up using so you can provide a comprehensive bibliography and resource section.

You've researched your target audience, honed your topic to fit your readers' needs, crafted a brilliant outline and done your research. Congratulations! You're now ready to begin writing your first ebook. All the preparation you've done will enable you to write with confidence and a clear sense of purpose. With a little preparation, writing your first eBook should be a fun and exciting process, resulting in a great book that will have your audience eager for your next piece.

What Should You Charge For Your E-Book?

Now that you have spent valuable time and effort creating and writing your e-book, you will now be wondering how best to price it. Some writers feel they have to sell their first e-book at a low price, just because it's their first attempt, but you need to consider that a low price can give the impression that it is of little value. You know that is not the case, so think carefully before you set a price.

When planning the marketing stage of your e-book, take time to carefully consider this crucial step. Try not to under-price - as I said in the introduction, readers will perhaps judge the value of your book because of its price. Some sellers suggest that you start with a fairly high price, then embark on your marketing campaign and promote it at every opportunity available to you.

A well-known strategy used is to do your own type of survey. Some sellers survey their customers directly regarding pricing. If they have already bought from you, their opinions are valuable and realistic. Others test prices by creating a few sales pages, all running at the same time, but displaying different prices. Each sales page would contain exactly the same sales copy - the price would be the only difference. This then allows you to check and compare the conversion rate between visitors and sales for each price. Many find this an easy way of working out the optimum price for your product and this is a method you may want to put in place.

Because the e-book is a digital product, it can be particularly difficult to actually put a price on it. When you buy a printed book, it is a hard copy you can read and pass on to others and its cost is determined by paper, design, printing and production costs as well as marketing. These costs are not reflected in the production of an e-book as readers are downloading them digitally. However it is important that you do not underestimate the value of the time you spent collating your ideas and the quality of the information you have produced.

A lot of successful information products provide readers with solutions to their problems and they are willing to pay for this service with the facility of being able to download it right away. If they see that you are providing realistic, valuable and informative material, you will find that they will order from you again and again. Don't forget to capture their details to form your own mailing list which you can use for further promotions.

Quite a lot to consider when pricing your e-book!

I wish you every success.

Effectively Promoting Your Ebook on Social Networking Sites

Ebooks and social media are two strong symbols of today's digital world. Those of us exploring the new territories of ebooks understand that there is a growing market for them, and we feel intuitively that social networking can be a good way to reach a larger readership.

But how does one use social networking sites for eBook marketing? Is it just a matter of having accounts on Twitter, Facebook, Google+ and LinkedIn? Well, it helps to have a good eBook promotion strategy and here are some helpful hints:

Look Beyond the Gadget

As Brian Solis, who is an established thought leader on social media marketing, puts it "Social Media is about sociology and psychology more than technology." This is a critical piece of advice for anyone trying to promote anything on the web.

So, while the idea is to sell a new format for books, social networking is all about building connections and establishing relationships.

Think Beyond the Number

"If you can't sell to 1 in 1000, why market to a million?" asks Seth Godin, the author of Linchpin, as he helps us navigate the marketing potential of social media. This is an important admonishment for those of us who start fretting about the number of likes, followers or retweets.

Yes, it is helpful to build an audience but ultimately social media networking is about making each connection count.

Move Beyond the Sale

It is true that you are promoting your ebook, but it is not necessary to be crassly focused on peddling. Think like a connector - one who is bringing people to your ebook, a group of like-minded folks who'll appreciate what your eBook has to offer.

You can use Twitter to find others interested in the themes of your eBook and engage in public conversations via retweets or comments.

You can draw people to Facebook by posting links to topics similar to those covered in your ebook.

LinkedIn offers groups, which are a great way of establishing connections with professionals likely to be interested in similar topics.

Google+ circles also allows you to create communities around themes or ideas. In each of these platforms, you should think way beyond the sale.

It Really is about the Social!

By thinking beyond narrow parameters, you can successfully build a community. When you engage with each member of this community you'll find your potential readers, and also your best marketing tools.

As social media strategist Jay Baer says, "Focus on how to be social, not how to do social." Social networking works best when friends make recommendations. Create a circle of influence via regular comments, replies and engagement and you'll find the impact on the eBook sales!

Understanding How Ebooks Resell Rights And Private Label Rights Work

If you want to use eBooks you need to know what the terminology being used actually means. Resell rights are generally referred to as RR and private label rights as PLR. You will generally find the acronym that will indicate to you, which category the eBook falls under in the title. The rights indicated on the e-Book will indicate the level of permission you may have to alter or distribute the e-Book.

Electronic books by their nature are intended for instant downloaded direct to your computer. You purchase the e-Books from your internet source and providing it falls under the resell rights category. You will be able to resell the e-Book. However, you cannot sell or pass on the resell rights to anyone else. Many in this category are provided free of charge from their original source.

Resell rights should not be confused with master resell rights (MMR), which allow you to buy and download an e-Book. You then have the right to resell or give away the e-Book and the master copy to your website visitors. However, some e-Books will have other restrictions on the master resell rights so you do need to check the criteria set, on each e-Book.

Private label rights are electronic books that can be purchased and download instantly to your computer. You may then more or less do what you like with the e-Book. You now own the e-Book and the master copy so you can resell or give away both to your website visitors.

You can choose to sell the eBook in its current format, or have it rewritten to produce a completely new eBook. You can combine with content from other e-Books, or you can divide up the content to provide the basis for additional e-Books. Perhaps most importantly if you are trying to raise your internet profile, you can add your name as the author. It is important to note that the criteria used for the private label rights may differ from one to another, so it is best to read the small print.

Private label rights e-Books are usually available in a format that allows for ease of editing. You can find step by step instructions on how to turn your document into a PDF file on the internet if you are new to this experience. You will be able to add your affiliate links to the electronic book to help generate more income. You keep all the money made from the sale of your private label rights e-Books.

Using eBooks with resell rights and/or private label rights can save you time because you do not have to do loads of research on a subject and then sit down and write the eBook. Alternatively, you could spend a fortune getting someone else to do the writing for you. Both options are hard work and will take up your time and can prove to be very expensive with sometimes little to show in return.

You can find an almost unlimited supply of eBooks on every subject on the internet. You can pick up some for free and many others very cheaply. Providing you get them with rights to resell and/or private label rights you will soon see a return on any investment you make.
