I have questions about ebook

by jkiley
9 replies
I have about 150+ articles on ezine. I am thinking of creating ebook on the tips and tricks from those articles, and then start selling that ebook. Here are my questions.

1. How many pages an ebook should have?
2. Can I package that up with my other products and give discounts?
3. I am thinking of putting 19.95 price tag on it. Is it too low? too high?

    An ebook can have any amount
    of pages...

    If you're pricing at $19.95, I'd say
    30-35 pages would be fine.

    But if you want to overdeliver, go
    for 50.

    It all depends how valuable your
    information is for the reader. If
    your info is killer, you can get away
    with less actual content...

    Hope that helps

    1. 1000+ pages
    2. definitely not. if you do, you'll burn in hell
    3. I'm thinking about $1995, but that's just me.


    Ok, just kidding. Have enough pages to solve the problem
    your prospects have without fluff and filler. They will much
    rather appreciate a "Step By Step Way To xyz" in 3 pages
    than 100 pages of "xyz tips".

    Sure, you can package it up with anything you like- it's
    your product after all. Thou I would give those other
    products as a bonus to the main thing you're selling to
    create value.

    Price- if it really can solve xyz, you can sell it for more, but
    that might be a good starting point.

      This depends on the content of your "Main" Product...

      If the main product is better then price the book at a lower price like an ad-on sale.

      If the content is better you can price it as an up-sell along with the main product.

      Or you could go the customer satisfaction route and give it away for free.

      This will convert better sales on your original product as well as lower your return rates. In my experience a happy customer usualy comes back for more content

      Hope That Helps,

    1)Ebook should be around 50 pages.

    2)Don't package it with others or give discounts.

    3)Increase the price to $27.

    1) don't make ebooks with more than 50 pages
    2) offer it with some bonuses
    3) from my test, I have found that $17 ebooks sell like crazy

    Just my two-cents, but I would say that the length of the book will vary based on how difficult it is to explain what you are trying to get across.

    Have you ever read a novel or watched a movie; gotten to the last page or scene and suddenly realized that the writer took a cheap and easy "out" and the last page/scene is so unsatisfactory that you want to throw the book across the room? A how-to book that doesn't adequately explain the system makes me feel that way.

    So, I would say the book could be 1 page long if that is what it takes to adequately give me the information.
