Secrets to Become an Ebook Millionaire

Friday, July 10th, 2009

Ever since, I don’t want to write an ebook. I’m thinking, why write a cheap ebook, if you can make a $447 study program? Why is it better to offer a cheap ebook?

Making an ebook isn’t hard at all and I can show you why ebooks are the way to go. One, it is a inexpensive method of sharing information about your product. Your prospective customer may try out your ebook risk-free and if they like it, they’re more likely to buy your more expensive package. It’s try the cheap version before you buy the more costly one.

Another reason is an ebook helps you reach a wider market. The internet is full of would-be customers, they just haven’t realized it yet. These expensive study programs usually require affiliate programs which are complicated and these reduce the sales people who want to help you sell the study program.

Ebooks, on the other hand, are very portable and using a company like ClickBank allows thousands of people you have never met to promote your ebook for you. Think of your ebooks as little ambassadors, reaching people you can not physically send a message to.

These small ebooks eventually lead to the bigger package, such as your $447 video course. If take a liking to your ebook, they will also like your home study course. The ebook only has some pictures or screenshots, so they’ll love the videos. These are step-by-step videos which help them in realtime with what is taught on the ebook.

Well, its not much fun writing an ebook. Let me share the simplest way I found to write and market an ebook. I “talk” through the ebook. After scheduling a free teleseminar, I have interested people complete a questionnaire, I’ll record the teleseminar, have it transcribed lightly and converted to an easily readable format.

Next comes the marketing, so I put it in Clickbank to let others tell about my ebook. After sending out some email, in comes the money. What makes this simple is affiliates and credit card processing are well taken care of by Clickbank. Its just that easy and cheap to make ebooks.

So now I am “killing two birds with one stone”. I am assessing demand before I pour a ton of time and energy into a huge home study course. If the ebook doesn’t sell well, I know the home study course won’t sell well either. I am also generating a positive cash flow to help fund my home study course. And I am gathering customers from all around the globe through the hundreds of thousands of ClickBank affiliates who will want to promote my ebook. Make that three birds instead of two!

So, pick a topic and schedule a free teleseminar today. You will be creating a foundational product for your information empire and be on your way to become an ebook millionaire.

Sell Your Ebooks Using Affiliates

Monday, July 6th, 2009

I have often recommended that my clients write an e-book or articles to promote their business. One of the best ways to sell an e-book is by using affiliates. Even if sales of your e-book are booming, you can make more money if you have affiliates, sales people who recommend your e-book to their clients.

How can you recruit more affiliates?

Affiliates often turn to ClickBank to find products that they can recommend and sell for a commission. Since ClickBank is a major source of downloadable products, it has become the best rated e-book reseller online. It is not surprising that so many website owners look for complementary products to sell through ClickBank.

To sell your e-book on ClickBank, you must first set the price of the book and the affiliate commission rate. Dont undervalue your product ” if you only set a five dollar price tag for your e-book, you will have to share that with an affiliate and it will cut into your profits. Besides, your affiliates would like to recommend products that provide them with an adequate commission for their efforts.

How do you decide the cost structure of e-books? ClickBank gets a portion of the proceeds to cover their costs. As the e-books author, you also want to make money off of it. Remember that you will share between 40 to 50% of the proceeds with the affiliate who is marketing your book. By providing your affiliates with a respectable commission, you will ensure that they are driven to promote your book.

As an ebook author, be sure you choose a price that reflects the meaty content you’ve included. Then, be generous with your affiliate commission and offer at least forty percent of the sales price. Hey, it’s a downloadable ebook and you have very little production costs, if any. Then, your affiliates are happy and will spend more time promoting your ebook to their list. And you get more money in your pocket because you have an army of sales people telling the world about your ebook.
