Right now is one of the best times in Internet marketing history to make a ton of money
online with ebooks. Even with the popularity of audio and video products ebooks remain
a staple of online publishing and they’ll be around forever.
Ebooks offer a quick and easy way for prospects to learn about a hot topic. Here’s the
deal…you don’t even have to be an expert on the subject to provide the information. It’s
a good idea that you do have some degree of interest in the subject but you don’t have
to be the leading expert. You just need to know how to help the audience get the
information that they want.
By providing that information you gain the customer’s trust and become the one that
they’re likely to make a purchase from. That’s how ebooks become your sales
machines. They go where you may never go and reach customers for you.
Here’s a very easy way that you can get your ebook written and on the market in the
shortest time possible.
Start with private label rights articles and you can have an ebook in just a few hours. I’m
a huge fan of private label rights materials. They give you loads of prewritten
information on almost every subject that you can imagine. This can save you lots of
hours otherwise spent researching and writing about your topic. It’s much easier to start
with a group of PLR articles and rewrite them rather than starting from scratch.
There are a boat load of places online where you can purchase PLR articles either as
part of a subscription or in small packs. I have to warn you to be careful because ALL
PLR IS NOT CREATED EQUALLY. In fact, most of the plr articles that you’ll find online
now are just a bunch of garbage.
That’s why one of my favorite PLR sites is Tiffany Dow’s PLR Minimart. If you’re not
familiar with Tiffany then maybe I should tell you that she’s also known as the
“ghostwriter to the gurus”. Before becoming a full time marketer, Tiffany was the
ghostwriter behind some of the most successful ebook released by well known internet
marketing gurus. Her research and writing style are both first class and her articles will
help you create a quality product. Check Tiffany out at http://www.PLRMinimart.com
Whether you use articles from the minimart or somewhere else, just be sure to use high
quality PLR articles. This will ensure that you give your customers a lot more
information than they actually paid for. Make your ebook one that stands out in the
crowd and become something that customers tell their friends and business partners
about. That’s how you create customer loyalty and build a good reputation online. The
key to getting good results is to start out with good PLR articles from the beginning and
putting your own unique touch on them. The time that you spend putting together a
good product will pay off in more sales and fewer refunds.
After rewriting your material into an ebook find about 4-5 affiliate programs and include
the links throughout the ebook…just don’t over do it. You don’t want your ebook to
become one big sales pitch. Let the affiliate links ADD VALUE not take it away.
You’ll need to convert your ebook into PDF format to make it easy for buyers to read it
online. Download a free PDF converter at http://www.DoPDF.com.
Finally, you’ll need graphics to make your ebook look much more professional and sale
a lot faster. If you’re not good at graphics you’ll want to hire a good designer to give
your ebook a well polished appearance.
There are lots of very well skilled graphic designers online but here are a few my
favorites:
· http://www.CheapestCovers.com - The owner, a guy in Malaysia named Bitol,
does excellent work at an affordable price at a VERY quick turn around time.
· http://eCoverFX.com – I recently became acquainted with the owner of this site,
Michelle Brouse at The Internet Marketing Inner Circle -
http://21IncomeStreams.com/TIMIC - I’m starting to see Michelle’s work in lots of
places online as she’s becoming very popular. Her graphic design work is first
class! She does an amazing job!
· http://www.ebookaddictdesigns.com – Another TIMIC member, Steve Mount,
operates this site along with his sister Kat. Their work is great and you’ll love their
prices too! Check them out.
These are my recommendations on the best places to get ecovers designed but you
can decide for yourself. Just google “ecover designs” or something similar and find a
company you link. The important thing is that you do use a cover to increase the
perceived value of your ebook.
Once you’re done with the content and graphics of your ebook you can sell it using
PayPal, Clickbank, PayDotCom or your own merchant account.
Now for the part that actually puts the money in the bank…PROMOTING YOUR
EBOOK. Here are few ways to get started bringing in sales almost immediately.
1. Google Adwords – Depending on your budget the fastest way to being in sales
may be to set up an adwords campaign – Here’s a link where you can get $50 in
Adwords credits to use in your first campaign. You’ll need a $5 deposit in order to
activate your account. Also, I’m not sure how long it will be good for but it’s valid
at the time that I’m writing this ebook: https://adwords.google.com/select/Login
2. Post an ad in forums that allow advertising or in your signature tag. Search for
forums in your niche
3. Write original articles and submit them article directories such as
ezinearticle.com, articlecity.com, articledashboard.com, goarticles.com and more
4. Start an affiliate program and share your profits. It’s easy to set up an account at
Clickbank or PayDotCom and give affiliate a good percentage like 50% or more.
That may seem like a lot but let me ask you this…would you rather have 50% of
something or 100% of nothing?
5. Get JV partners to help spread the word to their customers in exchange for a
percentage of the sales. I’m a member of Willie Crawford’s forum – The Internet
Marketing Inner Circle (http://21IncomeStreams.com/TIMIC). It’s a great place to
meet JV partners to help you succeed online.
Just as I was finishing up on 21 Income Streams, my friend Steve Mount released a
great ebook about how to make money online writing ebooks…GREAT TIMING! Steve’s
tips on getting jv partners are really valuable. I highly recommend that you get a copy at
