If you are looking for ways to make money online or to expand your existing home business, selling ebooks could be just what you need. Selling ebooks is easy, affordable and there are practically no expenses (other than purchasing the ebooks). You might want to write some of the ebooks yourself to save money and to help spread the word about you and your business!
You can either purchase ebooks with or without resell rights. I would recommend buying ebooks with resell rights so your customers have an additional reason to purchase from you. They can then sell the ebooks themselves!
There are several ways you can set up your new ebook selling site or ebook store.
Sell on eBay
You can auction off your ebooks on eBay. eBay has very specific policies on selling ebooks so be SURE to read and follow all their policies.
Offer Ebooks on Your Site
If you already have a site, you can easily offer the ebooks on your existing site. Make a folder called ebooks (or whatever you like) and upload it to your host. Upload all your ebooks into this folder. Give them keyed names so people will not be able to guess the file name.
For example: if you have an ebook called Ezine Publishing and you call the file ezinepublishing.zip, this could make it very easy for someone to "guess" the download link by the name and download the ebook for free.
You want to code the names- for example:
instead of ezine publishing, you might name the file ez-pub-32c.zip These coded names are nearly impossible for people to guess so they are unable to steal the ebook.
Then add an index page where you would introduce your ebook store to your visitors. Let them know there will be no shipping cost as they are delivered electronically. Make sure you introduce your ebook store on your site homepage as well.
You might also want to list the categories on the index page so your customers can click directly to the ebooks they are interested in. Have a short description of the ebook and a graphic (if possible). You can have a whole page for each ebook or you can put several on a page.
Go to PayPal and make up a button to put on your site for ordering. If you do not like PayPal, use any payment service you want.
**TIP - To avoid the time of making up each individual button, use the code from the first button and just change the necessary info like price, item name and code. This will save you a lot of time in setting up your ebook store.
Automatic Digital Delivery
You can purchase a program for setting up your store and having all purchases automatically delivered. This saves you a lot of time plus gives your customers the items immediately which helps with repeat sales.
One such program that does this very well is called The Digital Store. Do a search for this or automatic digital delivery ebooks and you will find a wide variety of scripts/programs to suit your needs.
Be sure to continually add new ebooks for your existing customers. We have had numerous repeat sales by doing this. Also, you might want to have a mailing list to keep people up to date of your new additions and any specials or sales you may be having.
Affiliate Programs
You can also sell other people's ebooks by joining their affiliate program. This means that for every ebook you sell, you will get a commission from the ebook owner. If you write your own ebook, you could also start your own affiliate program. To find such programs just do a search for ebook affiliate programs.
If you do purchase and/or write your own ebooks for resale, be sure and choose/write the ebooks with a lot of useful, helpful information and resources. There are a lot of ebooks that are simply full of ads and sales letters for the writer's products. You want to steer clear of these types of ebooks.
People love to buy and read good ebooks and if you offer a good selection and price, they will continue to buy from you.

While eBook sales are not a new thing, there is a new twist to eBook selling that is allowing sellers to make even more money than they ever have. Re brandable eBooks are that twist. Offering this type of eBook is really gaining in popularity because of the amazing income potential they offer over traditional master resale rights products. What is a re brandable eBook? Why do they make sellers more money than regular ones? What is used to produce a re brandable PDF file?
The concept of re branding is pretty simple. The creator of an eBook will set up certain links or text phrases that they allow someone to change. Usually this includes links to affiliate programs of the creator, or allowing the name of the reseller to be published, or even allowing the reseller to include their website link.
Offering free re branding benefits both the creator of the product and the customer buying it. As the creator, you are more likely to have other people selling your eBook if you offer a way for them to insert their own links or affiliate links into your product. Also, if you run affiliate programs you will make the number of affiliates promoting your product grow quickly through this "viral marketing" method.
As a customer who is buying this product, it gives many more income chances than a traditional resell rights eBook. Most eBooks that allow reselling do not allow you to alter the contents. The author or creator gets all the profits from sales generated from the pages of the eBook. As as reseller, I am much more likely to offer this type of eBook to my customers because of the extra income opportunities.
How do you make a re brandable eBook? There are several methods and different products that are used to do this. I'll quickly go over the two major methods used for PDF eBooks, as most customers no longer prefer any other type.
The first option is to use website scripts. One advantage to this type of branding is that it can drive traffic to your website. In order for someone to re brand your eBook, they are forced to go to a website to enter their details and produce their PDF. Another advantage to using a web script is that it works for all types of computers. Anyone that can get online can use it. I have seen and tested several web scripts that perform this function. There is one out there that is free that works pretty well. The biggest disadvantage to this method of branding is the work involved. The scripts I tested required me to create an all new HTML version of my eBooks, insert special codes for page breaks, and upload all the pictures involved. You have to do this for every eBook. You also have to send people to different places on your website for each eBook. It could get confusing and was more work than I like to do!
The second option is using a program. This is how I create my re brandable eBooks. This is by far the easiest option for a creator. You make your PDF eBook as normal and just change a few lines inside of it and add couple of commands to it. You then go through about a five minute process to sign your eBook and make it ready for branding by your customer. The customer brands your eBook by using a program that you include inside the download. The major disadvantage to using a program is that some users won't be able to use your re branding tool. While most Mac users can operate windows based programs, there are still a few out there who can't. There are several programs out there who will do this. I personally tested two of them. I ended up choosing the program that offered me an affiliate program, as the other didn't have that.
Making a re brandable eBook is a great way to increase your sales. Not only will you sell more copies of the eBook yourself, but your customers are more likely to re sell your eBook. Then you set off a great spiral of "viral marketing" that can have, literally, thousands of people selling your products for you. Therefore you make more money with a re brandable eBook over a standard eBook.

Did you know writing and selling ebooks have become one of the most profitable 'work at home' businesses on the Internet? Writing and selling ebooks can be extremely lucrative. Everyone looks for information on the Internet. If you can give them the kind of information they really want, they will be very happy to pay you for it. Learn from the prosperous about ebook marketing secrets to assure you of success.
There are many different ways to sell millions ebooks. If one of your goals is to become a Millionaire or make a six-figure income online then consider selling ebooks by the quantity. Most people just set a goal of making a million dollars over the Internet and that is good but most plans fall short of making that kind of income because making money is there only goal. When your goal of having your own home internet business that has that kind of success of earning one million dollars with the emphasis on selling a large number of units then your success will be very attainable.
The first thing you may want to consider is writing your own ebook and selling it online. There are plenty of topics on which you can write an ebook, just pick one that you are suited for. Ebooks are not that difficult to write and they do not take that long to write one. You can write an ebook in one day. Many ebooks are only about 25 pages. Some ebooks are about 200 pages. Just write about something that you already know. Think about your occupation or the hobbies that you have and you will realize that you are close to an expert on that subject.
If you only have one ebook that you want to sell in order to make a million dollars then you will have to sell one million ebooks making one-dollar profit on each one. This would be one of the hardest ways of selling one million ebooks. If your profit was 2 to 5 dollars on each ebook then you will not have to sell as many to make one million dollars.
Selling a million units with only one ebook title may take some years even if is a popular subject and well written that would appeal to a large audience or attract many consumers and customers. Although it is very possible to sell one million ebooks from just one title in a short period of time, most authors have a few ebooks to many ebooks for sale.
Your chances of selling one million ebooks increase dramatically when you have multiple titles that you are selling at the same time. If you have 30 ebooks that you have written and they are excellent ebooks and appeal to many customers then your goal of selling one million ebooks will increase greatly and much more quickly then selling just one title.
Use your imagination and try to conceive of having 100 to 1000 ebook titles that you could sell and how long it would take to sell one million ebooks. You can sell other author's ebooks and make a profit off of them, which will get you closer to your goal of selling many ebooks up to one million ebooks. Obviously the more ebook titles you have the closer you will be to your goal in selling one million ebooks.
Realistically you can have only 25 titles of ebooks that you have written or have purchased reseller rights on and sell one million ebooks in about a year. The key is to select the popular categories on what sells best on the Internet. Then the next thing you will need is to advertise it by using an ebook description that would make all people want to buy your ebook. I have more information on this subject.
