1) The Buzz About Ebooks
=====================
What's
all the buzz about Ebooks,
and where do you fit in?
- You
can publish & sell your own Ebook
for profit
- You
can publish & give away your own Ebook
for Marketing purposes
- You
can resell Ebooks for commission
- You
can give away Ebooks that contain your
affiliate links
Publishing
Your Own Ebook for Profit
Choose
your topic either by your area of expertise, or by selecting a specific
market and targeting their needs. I highly recommend this Free Download,
which will cover everything from Research to Sales:
Ebooks: A
Complete Guide to Self-Publishing

Once
you have read through the above resource, and are ready to design
& compile your own Ebook, you will
need two (possibly three) pieces of software:
I use
& recommend Ebook Starter (excellent
program!):
http://www.webservicenetwork.com/ebooks/ebookstarter_review.htm
I also
use & recommend eBook Edit Pro:
http://refer.ebookedit.com/click.cgi?id=wsn
In
addition, you may want to create PDF-format Ebooks.

An easy way to accept
credit card payments, and set up your own Affiliate Program, is
through ClickBank. If you don’t already have an account with

Publishing
Your Own Ebook To
Give Away
Why
in the world would you want to Give Away something
you worked so hard to publish? Good question! There’s no better
way to get people’s attention than to give them something
for FREE! The better your content, the better it will work for you
as an explosive Marketing tool.
You’ll
want to read Shelley Lowery’s article:
How
to Create a Viral Marketing Ebook
http://www.webservicenetwork.com/articles/ViralMarketingEbook.htm
Obviously,
once you’re convinced this is the Marketing Tactic for you,
you’ll want to review the resources mentioned above for creating
& compiling your Ebook.
Reselling
Ebooks For Commission
There
are some excellent titles already written that would highly compliment
your website’s content – why not add value to your website
by offering these titles to your visitors, and make a commission
on each sale? This is very easy to do, as most Ebook
affiliate programs offer you pre-made advertisements and articles
to use. It’s as simple as Copy, Paste & Cash
a Check! ClickBank is a great place to search
for Ebook affiliate programs. If you don’t
already have a free account with them, Click Here To Sign Up Now . You can also do a search at
Google.com using “ebook+affiliate”
(without the quotes) as your keyword.
- There
are also many Ebooks and Ebook Packages that offer complete Reseller Rights
upon purchase. You are allowed to resell the Ebook(s) as many times over as you wish, keeping 100%
of the sales price. See section three (below) – “What
You Can Get For $5”
Giving Away Ebooks To
Increase Affiliate Sales
Many
sites are now offering “Branded Ebooks”
that you can Give Away freely on your website
or in your newsletter. Branded means that the
ebook contains your affiliate link
to the sites/products that are promoted within. You will
want to look for these opportunities on websites that offer relevant
and complimentary content or products/services.
A great
example is The
Absolute Beginner's Guide to Starting a Web Site by Milana Nastetskaya, found on my
Archives page: http://www.selfstartersweeklytips.com
. Since I write on the topic of “do-it-yourself web tips”,
this is a perfect compliment to my content. If someone chooses to
purchase Milana’s products/services after reading her Ebook, I would then make commission on that purchase. If not,
I have provided valuable information to my subscribers and site
visitors, and they have received a valuable resource for free. It’s
a win/win/win situation ;)
