My success has been through writing and selling (sometimes giving away) ebooks on topics I have practical experience in. In my pay-per-title ebooks, I share my knowlege (tooting my own horn *grin*) of the clerical support field… gained over a 14 year period. The free ebooks I use, more or less, as a “teaser” to introduce possible customers to my style of writing. Some freebie ebooks feature related ClickBank links (for commission), others I include rotating banners ads (charging others to have their banner included in the rotation).
My goal when I initally started was not to get rich…just to earn enough money to pay for my monthly internet and hosting fees. So far (crossing my fingers AND knocking on wood), I have met that goal plus some 🙂
HOW YOU CAN SUCCEED:
1) Write an ORIGINAL info-ebook on a topic you have practical knowlege or experience in.
2) Use an attractive layout/template that is easy for the newest of newbies to navigate.
3) Offer a free or shareware version, if at all possible.
4) Invest in an attractive ebook cover.
5) Obtain paid hosting…avoid free servers with forced pop-up and pop-under ads.
6) Create an affiliate program (ClickBank is an excellent choice)
7) Be fair to affiliates..offer ONE form of payment processing.
You will need to expend a little money to make a little money. For added revenue, include a banner rotation… and offer your visitors the opportunity to “advertise in ALL freebie ebooks” for the low, low price of…
The info-ebook biz is definitely one that YOU can start with a small investment, operate on a small budget and one that offers the potential to earn hundreds in just months!
