How To Make Money Selling Ebooks?


While there are many different ways to make money online, most infopreneurs start out with the question: "How To Make Money Selling Ebooks?"

The reason is that when one thinks about infopreneurs and information product marketing, the first thing that pops into mind is writing a book - or on the Internet, an ebook. And because infopreneurs are also focused on the profit potential of the information they help create, a fair amount of time is spent on figuring out how to make money selling ebooks.

Many options are available. Some are obvious. Others are more ingenious. All of them work well. Let's discuss more about how to make money selling ebooks.

Write and Sell Ebooks

The most apparent method of profiting from ebooks is to write ebooks and sell them to interested prospects. There are many exciting ways to do this. You can learn about them from various sources and pick the ones best suited to your needs.

Sell Rights To Your Ebooks

If you write ebooks, you do not have to limit yourself by selling it only to people who read it. You can also sell them to people who can resell them to other consumers.

Selling resale rights to your ebooks is one of the overlooked methods to make money selling ebooks, and in some cases it can be more profitable than selling directly to the readers.

Sell Licences To Your Ebooks

If your ebook has content that is relevant to specific industries, groups or markets, you can licence the use of your content to networks or associations in those areas - for a licencing fee. This gives you ongoing and residual income from your ebook - without even doing any work to sell it.

Make Money From Links Within Your Ebooks

A more creative way many infopreneurs don't think about when trying to determine how to make money selling ebooks is by making offers to readers. Within the content of your ebook, you can include links to other related products and services - and use your special affiiate link which tracks people you refer to the other businesses, and pays you a referral commission for any sales you make.

Make Money From Backend Sales

While considering how to make money selling ebooks, don't forget the branding power a good ebook loaded with valuable content can provide you and your business. It positions you as an expert, a knowledgeable practitioner who has skills and talents that can benefit every reader.

If you offer high-end consulting or mentoring services, or even other related ebooks and courses, some of your readers will become clients for such services, earning you a multiple of the selling price of your ebook from backend sales.

Sell Advertising in Your Ebooks

Your ebooks contain valuable advertising space, and if you can guarantee that your ebook will reach a certain number of readers, you can sell advertising space within your ebooks. This is one more answer to the question of how to make money selling ebooks.

As you can see, there are many different options to profit from ebooks - apart from the obvious one of selling it to your readers for cash. Indeed there are even ways you can make money from giving away ebooks - but that's for a different article! Keep reading, learning more and you will become an expert on how to make money selling ebooks.
