Creating a resource ebook question

by him77
4 replies
I have an ebook I'm putting together that will include a section of links to blog articles from around the web that will be valuable to my niche. I was thinking of selling the ebook or even turning it into a part of my paid membership website. I've seen a few wso's in the past do this, but I wasn't sure if this is allowed or legal issues. I'm not copying the content, but rather making a resource page or directory of links I feel will be useful and selling it. Thanks for the help.

    I think its not illegal. Its only links with no contents copied from the sites.

    That's fine. Much like a bibliography?

    Or from each page or link that you quote in your ebook, on the footer of that page list the source where you got a fact or dialogue from. And then plus add it to your bibliography at the end of the book.

    Just throwing caution to the wind here... But, remember if you choose to include links to blog posts or 3rd party content - do remember; if their links go dead, it can have a negative impact on your readers experience.

    If you have no control over the publications referenced, or linked out to, you 'could' bear the consequences.

    I've experienced this a few times already in promotional publications, whereas the 3rd party(s) I referenced let their domains expire. *Not in an ebook, but the experience was aan awakening to only reference long-standing an evergreen methods.

    Sure, you can sell that. Like you said, there have been other WSOs like that. If you know some resources that others don't know much about and that are truly helpful, it might not be a best-seller here, but you'll get some buyers probably.

    WSO traffic isn't very much though. The WSOs that are getting a lot of traffic have been around awhile or have a solid affiliate base that drives the traffic. You could sell it here, or list it on Fiverr, or both. Sell it on your site as well.
