Written by In this short post, I’ll try to tackle how to make money online selling ebooks. Most of you should know about ClickBank.com, the premier ebook marketplace. There are so many guides out there on how to select a product, gravity, percent commission, etc., etc. Here’s my take on this process. Look for something you might be interested in buying for yourself. I am sure that you will find something because the marketplace section has so many products to choose from. There are tons of categories so don’t head straight over to the very saturated IM section. Try something easy like baking recipes or look for a hobby book like stamp collecting or gardening. You are sure to find something that is not in the extreme competition category.
Once you find a product you might like, go to their sales page. If you want to make money online selling ebooks, you need to select a quality vendor. Does their sales page look professional? Is the ad copy compelling? Would you buy the ebook? How about pricing? Will you make at least $15 to $20 from the sale? If not, I would suggest finding a different product. Also look for leakage. Leakage means ways for the customer to leave the page without buying anything. Do they have adsense on their page? That is not a good sign. Do they have a very obvious affiliate program link? That is not always a bad thing, but being too obvious is not a good sign. Check the niche traffic statistics to see if there is any traffic for this niche. If you see that the top keyword gets 10 searches per month, chances are you need to move on.
Once you find the ideal product, you are on the road to making money online selling this product. If you want to test the market, I would suggest building a free blog like a Squidoo lens or Blogger blog first. Write a few articles that pre-sell your prospect without seeming too obvious about it. You should be honest and post the weaknesses in a product as well as things you think could make the product better. It would also help if you reference some of the competing products and review them also.
Well, that’s all we have time for today. I will elaborate more on ebook selling in future posts. Hope you enjoyed this one.
