Where To Sell E Books 

Creative Selling Means More Profit

Selling ebooks is not as difficult as you think. There are plenty of ways to find your niche market. Here are a few.
  • From Your own site-this is the most natural place to market them. But in order to sell them, you will need to have excellent sales copy and all your ducks ined up in a row.
  • Others Selling For You- An affiliate program is an excellent way to sell your e-book.Standard commissions can run about 40% or more and you will have to have a shopping cart. You will get more exposure than you possibly could on your own.
  • Tiered Programs- If you are selling for others and they have a toered program, than certainly recruit others to do the same. You will increase your profit line quickly
  • Through Publisher Resources- there are great publisher resources out there (check out our list)You can promote and sell your e-books or you can promote and sell those of others. Great way to add to your profit line either way
  • Through EBay- You might not make as much other selling methods, but the exposure to your other products and sites, may well make this worth the effort.
  • Social Networks- Why not advertise your product on a social network.Your advertising copy for this would and should read more like a recommendation or review.Be careful about the rules on the network however. Lots of groups permit ads and marketing on specified days, so play fair
  • Market them at squidoo! Why wouldn't you? Write information on your topic and include links to your product!

Give Away Your E Books 

Making Money Offering A Free EBook

Have you ever thought about offering your work as a freebie ? You actually can make money giving away your ebook. I see it all the time amoung the most popular money making authors.What do they know that we do not?

You can offer your work with links to either your own products or services or those you affiliate to. For example if I am an affiliate to an autoresponder program, I might embed my link and do a review about selling on the internet. I may also put some other ads within my copy. I may also add a affiliate program to my work. I will also add offers within the work to get people to sign up as my subscribers.

So 20 people recieve my work as a freebie and sign up as an afiiliate. They are making a little change and promoting my work. The outreach potential for this is enormous. More than I could ever do on my own. I will get sales and add a huge amount of people to my lists in a ripple effect from this one work. My work is also going to get a higher listing in the search engines because of then hits it received. The impact will be huge. I challenge you to give it a try.

Public Domain And Copywright 

Important Copyright Information You Need To Know

Public Domain Work is a creative work that is not protected by copyright and may be used freely by everyone. The reasons that the work is not protected is because

1. The term of the copywright for the work has expired.
2. The author failed to satisfy statutory formalities to protecte the copywright
3. The work is a work of the U.S., Government

You can actually take these books, software, music ect, and change the format, add pr delete parts of them, and put your name to them. Yes, that also includes copywright work if you have made enough changes. Even if you have a work that has lost it's copywright because od length of time, you can freshin it up and recopywright the new version.

Public Domain is a huge source of opportunity to create ebooks without a lot of time and effort.

Private Label Items on the other hand are prodcuts that you can purchase. You then have the right to edit and chanhe the information. You can then add your own name to the work. You can also purchase a group of articles and put them together into a book. This can all be done in very little time and with hardly any effort.
