How to NOT make money selling eBook

 

I started selling eBooks not too long ago, I have a couple months experience under my belt.

It's safe to say that in that time i have learned without a doubt, the ways to NOT make money selling eBooks.

Lets Get Started 

When we're done you'll know how to make 0 dollars, and if you're lucky, how to even run yourself into eBook debt.

1. Believe every single Ad or sales page on ebay or on the internet that guarantees you thousands of dollars in one week. (If they promise you thousands in hours, even better.) So what if it doesn't make sense that if they have the knowledge to make thousands in a week they would be DOING it, instead of selling information on how to do it.
I mean, hey would easily photoshopped and edited pictures of yachts and TVs and cars lie and mislead you?

2. Join every newsletter you can find about making money selling eBooks. I mean hey having your email jammed with more emails than you can read, with so called experts that might not know much about what they are speaking, is always the best route to go.

3. When looking for eBook packages with resale rights, always buy the first package you see. Don't search the internet or eBay to see if you can get the same package for FREE or for cheap. I mean when trying to have an unsuccessful eBook business, why would you worry about cutting expenses?

4. When you get your eBooks, make sure you undercut every person selling on eBay. So what if you aren't making money, or losing money. It is more important to undercut people than to focus on making your listing stand out, with a reasonable price, and clear attractive description.

5. When you get a sale, make sure the download page is hosted on a free download site. Make your customers wait for a timer to expire before downloading. Even better, choose a free site with so many popups and Ads, they cant even find the link. Why would you spend $5.00 on paid hosting where you can control the content to make sure nothing inappropriate shows? Its not important to make the download process as easy as possible for your customers.

6. Over worry about the security of your eBook Downloads. Buy the most expensive software, cross your I's and dot your T's to make sure no one can steal a download of a resale rights eBook. Invest as much time as possible into it and neglect worrying about making sales. Ignore the fact that if someone wants an eBook badly enough they will get it, whether with google or different alternatives.

7. Trust SEO experts. Use every single SEO tactic you know to cheat and manipulate your results. Neglect the basic principle that the more quality sites that are linked to you the higher you will be ranked. Don't write well informative unique and related articles and add your website link in them, that would make too much sense. Instead, spam your link everywhere at every chance you get. Oh yea, and remember to not include meta tags, or descriptions.

Once again, follow these instructions exactly and do other things that dont make sense, to make sure you never make a dime selling eBooks. :-)

As i learn more ways to NOT make more, i will share. Hehe

If you want to make money, you could try reversing each item i have listed, but hey, why would you want to make money?
