If you’re looking for a place to publish your eBook manuscripts with little or no hassle, auction sites are often a great place to start. eBay was a great place to get easy, quick exposure, but they’ve now discontinued their eBay eBook auctions, and users are no longer allowed to email content. Amazon often wants you to go through a lot of hassle to make a little money.
A new online auction site for eBooks, Win2Bid eBooks, might help you publish and release your eBooks. The site is easy to use, quick to publish to, and easy to navigate. Get in now, and the site offers free no fee auctions with listings that last for months. You can list your eBooks, and offer them up for auctions that last two to three months.
One way that this eBook auction site might be able to help you with your eBook publishing and distribution is to simply to allow your eBook more hits and exposure via search engines. The more sites that you publish your eBook on, the more web pages the eBook will have. The more pages, the more exposure. If your eBook has a website, more exposure is one of the single things that differentiates your eBook from a million other eBook websites.

How to Publish Your E-book Online

Author esantra Category , , , , , , ,

Well, the e-Book is finally finished and ready for publication. Now what? I consulted some eZine articles and an eHow article, How to Sell One Million ebooks on the Internet, in order to find the best way to market, publish and sell my e-book. I will be honest, the process did not take long. I mainly just wanted to get the e-book done and out. It is a quality e-book with a good subject that isn’t widely written about. My idol makes around $10,000 a month from his LEED e-book.

This is my idol:
http://www.smartpassiveincome.com/

I cannot compete with him. This guy makes like 20,000 a month total. My figure is more like $50 - $100 a month, but I am working temporarily and going to school right now. This is my side venture. Maybe one day, I will be able to pursue it full-time, but it is really my hobby. Visit his site for some really good information about how to make real money.

For the topic of my e-book, I chose “The Complete Online Coupon E-book”. It is chock full of information about how to find coupons online, and is virtually my other blog, page for page, all in one package. I am thinking of retiring the coupon blog for one about going to school online, which seems to interest more people.

So far, I have sold zero copies. Tangible items are easier for me to sell – things like clothing, laptops, and coupons themselves. I find electronic information like e-books and computer programs to be lousy sellers, but Pat has had so much luck with his – which is so much more specialized, etc. than this one, that I decided to try it. Since I am finishing the blog and starting another today, it also gave me a good stopping point.

I wrote my e-book in Microsoft Word 2007, which now has the ability to save files in pdf (Adobe Acrobat Reader) format for easy e-book writing. I published the e-book using the four publishing methods listed below. It has yet to sell a copy, but it has only been around 20 hours. My goal is to sell at least 10 copies before investing in any advertising, etc. I would hate to waste advertising dollars on something that is not going to be successful at all, and I really haven’t had much luck with digital media. If you have an excellent topic like Sam, I would recommend it. Otherwise, I’ll probably stick to clothing, etc. on eBay.

1. eBay – eBay is a good site to publish your e-book, I guess. eBay is always a good method to market just about anything. Here is a link to my eBay advertisement if you would like to see an example of a published e-book on eBay.

Most anything sells on eBay. Grilled cheese pictures of the Virgin Mary, etc. Why not my e-book? First, they want you to use some type of classified format, but I just bypassed that. Just change the keywords in your title. A short summary and $2.15 later, my e-book was up and running. Now the little e-book is just waiting on a purchaser.

2. Tradebit – You must register for an account at Tradebit. Click here to register. There are no fees, etc. to sell your product, but a fee is taken from the sell of your product. In other words, if you sell your item for $4.99, Tradebit will probably make some type of fee from it, usually around $1 for that much, and you will receive $3.99 for the sale of your e-book. Other might sell your e-book for you and make a commission similar to Clickbank, etc. Tradebit is a good starting point, and you can list your item for free. You can also sell music, etc. there. Here is a link to the listing for the e-book on Tradebit.com:

3. Lulu.com – Lulu is a wonderful site for authors. You can package and sell your ebook here, and they even have marketing packages available. The marketing packages are too much for me, but you may find them useful. Marketing the e-book is probably the most important part of publishing your e-book. If I sell my 10 copies, I will probably market more. Who knows? At Lulu.com, you select sizes, bindings, etc., upload your files, build a cover, set the price, and promote your book all in one place. I find Lulu.com to be a great place for authors, and I would recommend it to anyone with a manuscript.

This is my Lulu created cover:

4. MobiPocket – Amazon e-books supposedly are sourced from MobiPocket now. I’m not sure. I listed my book here as well.

5. I have also submitted the book to CreateSpace.com. I am not sure if they will accept the manuscript, but at least I tried. CreateSpace is also an excellent source when it comes to publishing a book. This is Amazon.com’s way to put your book in actual print form and sell it on Amazon.com, and it’s free!

Things to do : An effective press release, post links on forums, etc., send a few emails, and do some more marketing research, write a post for my other blog to sell e-books. Post an update later.

Here is another eHow article on How to Promote an e-book

How to Make Money Writing eBooks Online

Author esantra Category , , , , , , ,

Writing online is one of the best ways to make money online for someone without a large investment or advertising revenue. It is often free, takes only a small amount of skill, and is only limited by your creativity. Writing to make money online can be done on the side and only requires as much time as your favorite episode of ER three nights a week to start making some money. Blogs, Articles, and eBooks are all ways to make money writing online. eBooks are the next logical step in the make money online writing process.

Step 1. An eBook must have a sales page to sell.

The sales page is what sales the eBook. This must make a great impression on the reader / buyer or no one buys the book, and you won’t make money from it. Usually people use some type of squeeze page, and if your budget is really tight, you can always host your squeeze page on a free hosting site like Google Pages, Webs, or a multitude of other free sites.

Step 2: People Judge an eBook by its Cover.

The eBook must look like it’s worth the money as well. There are many eBook cover designers. Navigate your browser to http://ebookswriter-lite.visual-vision.qarchive.org/ download a free eBook program that helps you literally design your entire eBook for free. There are tons of others online if you search for them. Write your own eBook on free eBook writing software.

Step 3: The content should be worth the money.

There is nothing worse than downloading an eBook full of air. Most times you do get what you pay for in the eBook world, and often you will get six pages with 2 links to someone’s squeeze page for anything less than $3.00. I have yet to download a really valuable on for that price. Please do not write awful eBooks! The entire industry will suffer.

Step 4: Market your eBook.

"E-Book Marketing Exposed" - How To Write, Price And Market Your E-Books For Profits!

Write a blog, do a website, and whatever else you can to market your eBook. Amazon, eBay, TradeBit.com, and Clickbank are all great places to market an eBook.

Step 5: Add unique items like videos in order to stand out from the crowd.

Videos are a unique option for an eBook and will add value an worth to your eBook. People are more likely to buy video eBooks depending on the subject, and likely to pay more.

These are just some ideas and steps for writing an eBook online. View YouTube for more videos on the subject, and you will certainly see another post on the subject.

My 4 Products to Sell Online

Author esantra Category , , , , , , ,

brainstorming

My next step is to create 4 products to package and sell online. I am now in the brainstorming process. I think e-books are a wonderful idea. Here is a great eHow article on how to write e-books: How to Write an E-book to Sell on the Internet. I can think of e-books like this:

  1. How to Make Money Writing on the Internet.
  2. How to Make Money With Your Computer.
  3. How to Go to School Online.
  4. How to Make Money with a Google Adsense Website.

 


How to Create and Sell Your Online Product With Clickbank!

I could always do instructional videos on :

  1. Java
  2. Zora
  3. The Internet

Whoa! I think that might be a cute one. Navigation of the Internet or Navigation of money-making sites on the Internet. I did just buy America Online’s Internet Book from the thrift store. I could do a money making one like that.

You can always sell the products that you design through Clickbank.com, which is my goal because I have $47 tied up that I can’t get out for some time now!

I just can’t come up with 4 awesome products that I would like to sell…

I have been trying to come up with ideas for some time now. Today, I am GOING to set out some guidelines for my new products, so that I can begin construction. I just wish that I knew what they were.

Ebooks/Videos

1. How to navigate the Internet to find great work at home sites.

2. How to create a Blogger Blog!

3. How to go to school online/What college online is like/A day in the life of an online college student!

4. How to make money writing on the Internet.

These could of course be e-book videos combinations, which I think are the best idea. Idea number 2 seems a little too common place. There are help files for this everywhere. So I need another idea that is rare. Hmmm…

2 could be:
2. Best Free Traffic Sites on the Internet

I like that. So my products are going to be e-book/videos:

1. How to navigate the Internet to find great work at home sites.

2. Best Free Traffic Sites on the Internet!

3. How to go to school online/What college online is like/A day in the life of an online college student!

4. How to make money writing on the Internet.

I feel that number 4 is quite common as well. Maybe I should just leave out number 4 for right now… Or maybe I can add to it..

1. How to navigate the Internet to find great work at home sites.

2. Best Free Traffic Sites on the Internet.

3. How to go to school online/What college online is like/A day in the life of an online college student!

4. How to make money writing about anything and everything on the Internet.

 

I am going to post these items  on my blog, and place them onto the sites that allow you to sell your e-books and software. I think I am ready to create some products now. In 6 months, after gathering even more information, I can create some more if I have the time and desire…

Sell your files on autopilot. Learn how with this free downloadable ebook. As an amateur programmer, I have been looking for this ebook for some time. I have a database I would like to put on this blog among many other things that I would like to package an sell as downloads. The idea may not be that profitable, but is something that I should definitely know how to do. This ebook allows you to sell your files on autopilot, without software, and at no cost to you. You can use it to sell pdfs, images, videos, presentations, mp3s and many other files.
Selling files and software is way easier than selling physical items because you do not have to bother with physical storage, shipping, inventory, etc. A file can be sold repeatedly for an infinite number of times with no need for physical storage. You will need some way of accepting credit cards. A free Paypal account is really all you need for this. This file teaches you to how to use http://www.payloadz.com/.
