eBook Marketing

An unbelievably lucrative home-based business lies at your fingertips – and the authors of the ebooks and the programmers of the software packages reviewed in this section of our website aim to teach you all you need to know to tap into it.

As with any legitimate home-based business – as distinct from “get rich quick scheme” – the writing and selling of ebooks does take a modicum of work on your part, including some minimal regular maintenance. But it is also true that so much of this process can be automated nowadays as to make the writing and selling of ebooks an attractive business opportunity for many self-motivated (and budget-restricted) entrepreneurs.

What you’ll need to know to pursue this revenue stream falls into two somewhat obvious categories or steps:

Writing ebooks
and Selling them

If you’re going to buy a guide to making money with ebooks, such as the 7 Day eBook course or eBook Secrets Exposed – both reviewed herein – be sure it minimally includes information on writing your ebooks, such as:

how to come up with ideas of topics to write about based on things you already know
how to find out the topics that readers are actively seeking out information on and how to turn them into ebooks regardless of your existing knowledge on the subject
how to identify your target markets and write to their tastes
how to write the kind of ebook that readers value (and consequently build a customer base who comes back again and again for all your subsequent ebook releases)
how best to format an ebook
how to edit your ebook/have it professionally edited for you
how to make money selling other people’s ebooks – and never have to write a word youself

and on selling your ebook, such as:

how to package it – including the use of ebook covers/boxes
where to sell it
how to accept credit card payments
how to make your ebook available to readers everywhere in the world
how to promote your ebook for low-cost (and sometimes for free)
how to turn a one-time ebook sale into a lifelong source of income
how to generate a passive income from your ebooks

eBooks with interviews and actual case studies/personal stories often provide a deeper and more practical degree of insight into the material than a straightforward “how-to” approach can never completely convey.

There are also software packages designed to help you manage and – hallelujah! – automate your ebook business, such as eBook Gold reviewed herein. These programs can help you:

format and package ebooks according to user-specifications, including creative use of colors, fonts, view options,
use templates to easily reproduce successful ebooks with different topics
attach files such as MPEGs, JPGs, GIFs, WAV files, AVIs, plugins and more
manage sales and delivery
add interactive content – like polls, feedback forms, market research, contests, etc.
develop tables of contents and graphical “Splash” start pages

At the very least, an ebook marketing management software product should help you format, edit, design, publish, sell, and deliver your ebooks, including handling translation from HTML to text and back.

If you think ebook marketing might be for you, we suggest purchasing an ebook or two on the subject first, and start practicing what you learn. Then, once you find yourself pleased with the results and encouraged to continue with this newfound career of yours, a software package to help automate the regular, ongoing, tedious tasks required of you, would be an excellent investment.

All of these products - ebooks and software products alike – come with some form of money-back guarantee and most of them come with a slew of free bonus gifts (usually other ebooks) that are yours to keep even if you return the main ebook.
