Where to sell a vegan recipe ebook

I know you already mentioned you know about IG ads but not just advertising on IG. Start an actual account based on being vegan and provide content and information to your audience and from there you can promote your vegan ebook to your own audience.

Create a android app and publish it on google play. U can update it frequently with more and more recipes and make money from admob for months and years to come.

My opinion is that if you are confident in the quality of your book, you should create a sales funnel and market it yourself.


Give away a chapter or some other freebie to attract your target audience, and then upsell the full book.


Options for the sales process include: clickfunnels, samcart, paykickstart or several others.


Make sure you have facebook pixel installed on your page and run re-targeting campaigns to maximize your profits.


This is just a nutshell but you can find lots of step-by-step tutorials to guide you along the way.

First, let me start by congratulating you. I know sitting down to write an ebook particularly a recipe ebook for vegans is no walk in the park. I suggest that you target all the social media, LinkedIn, twitter, FB.... name them. Then you should invest more in having the book promoted on Reddit. This platform is trending and virtually everywhere. Good luck though.

After you create your book, upload it to the Internet. Pay for advertising and start advertising and advising. There are many sites with free books. You can start your promotion with them. And you can also add your book to the culinary forums.

I would love to read your book. I'm certainly not a vegan, but sometimes I like to eat dishes without meat.

My girlfriend is veggie and she wants me to give up meat completely. I think your recipes would be useful to me. I would love to read your book. I think my girlfriend would like her very much.

Do what yesacpow said about building a funnel.


THEN, go to Youtube, Instagram and other places; contact them and sign them up as affiliates. You give them a free copy (PDF that costs you nothing) and they promote it.


You both get paid.

you can sell at Amazon, Flipkart or any other online platform to sell recipe

Hello Phibonacci

I'm going to paste a fairly long post that I made in another thread, as it is very relevant. I started in IM by trying to sell ebooks on ebay, and made the huge amount of US$408 for my whole first year, then I found a mentor and he completely changed my business and my life. So I'll paste that story at the bottom.

But first, the obvious starting place is your 4100 subscription base. (Is that in Facebook? if not you should build your own FB Group, starting with them) You will see how your subscription list is like the "Hall" in my story. (actually MySpace at the time)

So you offer your book to your subscription base first. You give them a special deal, a discount on what others will be paying after public release.

You should be offering both ebook and print versions of your book. You can use Print On Demand companies like LuLu to print/accept payment/deliver the printed version of your book. Then, for a fairly low cost they can also make your book available to a world wide audience, including book shops. My advice, go to LuLu and spend an hour or so looking through their site. Make Sure You Do This.

The next obvious place to sell your book is Amazon, the world's largest book seller. Again you should be offering both ebook and printed versions of your book. This gives you a Global Market Place.

Then other social media sites such as Pinterest that can capture a HUGE Female audience.

Another idea for you, have a page in your book devoted to your 2nd book. I would be asking my buyers to submit their own recipes for publication in a book (They don't get paid but each one is credited in the book on the page featuring their recipe.) Or it could be their favourite recipe. The main thing here is it is creating engagement with your audience and buyers. Who wouldn't want to see their own name in a real book? They will want to show others so they help you spread the word.

Now next idea is that you give Lindy a BIG commission for all this advice!!! I'm just kidding but I can dream! lol.

One last thing I will mention, we have a wall sign in our office suite and a card beside every computer in here, that just says: "Think", printed in red to stand out. The message from that sign and card is responsible for our multi million dollar success. It really means Think to be Different.

Hope this helps you.
Cheers
Lindy

The Story:

I started in IM by trying to sell ebooks on ebay, made US$408 for my whole first year. Then I met a guy in a chatroom, finally convinced him to mentor me and that changed my life. (He adopted me, took me into his business and since then we have built multi million dollar businesses together)

This is something I posted in a thread about Amazon in 2013. It really shows the formula we have used to build all our businesses. Targeting your audience or market is the way to success:

I thought this might be interesting to some, how we actually developed our ideas and Business Models that we use.

I'v mentioned I started in IM in ebay, trying to sell ebooks. Wasn't very successful, I only made $408 for my whole first year. Like every one else I had big dreams of building my Business, but I had no clue really how to do it, didn't know anyone else involved with IM so I was just buying an reading ebooks and searching on the web. I don't think WF was even going then, but if it was I didn't know about it.

I used to like going into the MSN chat rooms, chatting up the Guys lol. One night I met John, we started talking an I found out he was from Australia an had been involved with IM Business's for 5 years. He was making a fulltime income from them, around US$75,000 a year which I viewed as a fortune then. I asked him if he would mentor me, but he said no. He said he didn't mind having a chat every now an then but he didn't have time to mentor me.

Well, I'm not one to give up, every time we had a chat I would ask him, and he would say no, no, no. But I wore him down to where he eventually said yes.

He started his mentoring by looking at what I was doing in ebay. I only had about 20 ebooks, most on Internet Marketing, a few recipe books and 3 on relationships, like how to get a girlfriend. I had never sold a copy of any of the relationship books, he decided to use those as my first lesson.

He choose the how to get a girlfriend book as the first exercise.

He said ok, there are thousands of different books in ebay on thousands of different subjects. And thousands of people looking for books too, but how many might be looking for a book on how to get girlfriends, or even know one exists and listed in ebay?

Next he said, but what if you stopped every young Guy you saw in the streets in London and asked them if they were looking for a girlfriend, and if they said yes, you then said, well go into that Hall (Building) and I'll come in and tell you how you can get a girlfriend.

So now he said, well we have hundreds of Guys in there now who we know want to get a girlfriend. (a targeted audience) and you're the only girl in there, up on the stage in front of them, so you know their attention is going to be all on you and what your going to tell them. (a captive audience)

So then he said, do you now think you could sell your ebook to some of them? My answer was yes, but how could I do that in real life?

He said you build a Website, that's your Hall. And you attract single Guys to it. He also told me way back then that I needed to find other ebooks or products to sell on my website, to increase my chances of a sale from every visit to my site.

So how we did it, it was like an Advice website for Guys, where they could ask me, being a girl, advice about other girls. I promoted in MySpace, I could target an attract Guys to my website in there. (Now you can do that much better an easier with FaceBook) It was a bit clunky, there wasn't any membership site software then I don't think, so it was just a html website. Guys had to actually email me their questions and I would put their questions and my answers on the website.


But it still worked well because it was interesting, everyone kept coming back to read what other Guys were asking me, and to see my answers. I would also promo my ebooks in some of my answers, they were shown along one side of my website with a paypal/download link. I would get beautiful emails an even with photos sometimes from Guys who had found a girlfriend from following my advice or buying and reading the ebooks. Also a few asking if I was single an wanting dates lol, cause I had my photos up there too. It was loads of fun.

The idea was successful from the start, the first month I sold 36 of those how to get a girlfriend ebooks plus a few others. That was more than double the profit of my whole first year. As my website grew (with more Guys coming to it) I was soon selling hundreds of ebooks a month.

I understand you have something of quality, but you need to put a considerable amount of effort into marketing it, otherwise, that quality ain't going to help you.

You need a simple marketing strategy that can be scaled big. I talk from my own experience with 3 published books, and I'm going to say what I would do if I were you.

I'd launch that book on multiple self-published platforms, but I'm going to focus on promoting the Amazon one. I personally use a website that helps me publish to multiple platforms at once (Amazon, Apple, Barnes & Noble etc.). If you want to know what platform that is PM me.

Why going this way? You have the best chance to go BIG. You build your reputation as an author, and as your profits increase, you can come in with new books and serve your fans.

Promoting the book must have a plan. Consider building a website, Facebook page, Instagram page and so on, just for this book.

Give the book for free the first month to gather reviews. Go to all social media platforms and websites that promote free books and promote yours. You can also go to vegan groups on FB and Reddit, they will love your free book!

This is very important, because you need that first push for the book.

Also advertise this deal to your followers.

You can also promote the free book on ads if you want, but that's not particularly necessary.

If you do this right, in the beginning, you should have the perfect boost for your book to sell big when you remove the free offer.

There are plenty of book promoting guides out there. It's not complicated, but it's not easy either.


Good luck!

I'm surprised Gumroad wasn't mentioned.

Also, if you're looking into paid ads, I'd validate the funnel works first with as much free traffic as possible before ramping up the social ads.

Hello sgalla

Re: Really love the idea of getting buyers to submit their own recipes !

Sherri actually has a whole monthly magazine (online flip page) running on that concept. All our affiliate marketing is done through our own magazines, and one of Sherri's magazines is for teenage girls.

I would say that at least 70 to 80% of the monthly content is supplied by her subscribers. They have to submit original content but this ranges from short personal stories, short fictional stories, artwork, photos, replies to other girls who have asked for advice, even short videos showing how to apply makeup an so on.(you can include video in an online magazine)

It adds up to a really fun magazine with just huge engagement from her subscribers. I think it is also empowering these young girls in many different ways. Some will likely go into journalism or writing. One 15 year old girl submits B/W photo journalism style photos and they are brilliant, equal to those I have seen by world renown photographers. It is also a venue for young girls to support each other, and that is often very touching.

Phibonacci could also use a similar idea to build a huge Facebook Group where the members are supplying most of the content and engaging with each other.

I like how Gary V says it. Give your $1.80 on IG. Keep your post scheduled, then search vegan and give your relevant two cents on posts from your business account about 90x as many days as you can.

Are you active in any vegan related forums? If not you should make an effort to find some and get involved. The people on such forums have social media accounts they can use in order to help you should you impress them with your knowledge.

Start promoting through social networks. There are blogs in which you can publish part of the book, and buy the rest)

I would advise that you develop a vegan website. Post plenty of vegan content to attract traffic. Then you can start selling your vegan ebooks on the site as downloadable.

So much time has passed since your question. Have you already started your book promotion? I would like to read it, maybe I will find something useful for myself.

why you are not trying to promote your book on Quora Community?
i am getting 1500+ email leads /month answering on quora.

E-book is a pretty liquid asset, that you can integrate whereever you want. Though, it's reading is limited to digital sources. Strongly recommend to think about subscribe services for e-books - digital libriaries (Google Books, Open Library etc.) and of course about some Apple, Android stuff if there is some.

Sell on google and face book for good revenue

1. Use an eBook publishing and distribution system for distributing your ebook across the internet. For example, BookBaby which helps with both publishing and distributes to tons of platforms like Amazon, Kobo, Apple Books, Scribd, and more.

2. Upload your eBook to all the popular self-publishing platforms, like Lulu.com to maximize the number of eyeballs on your book.

3. Give away a free chapter as a freebie and distribute that to PDF sharing sites like Slideshare, Issuu, and more. Use that to link to your salespage.

4. Sell the eBook direct from your own salespage, and get affiliates using Clickbank.

5. Try printing copies of your eBook for distribution offline. Look for local health stores around your neighborhood that stock and sell health books. Negotiate with them to sell your vegan recipe book for a cut.

6. Convert your recipe ebook into a recipe app and distribute the app on the Apple and Android AppStores.

7. Put your ebook up for sale on Gumroad. Promote it to your list for sale for a discounted earlybird price, and get feedback on the first version. Find out what they like or don't like about it and make small changes or tweaks before you put out the final version.

8. Get a video book trailer made for your book as a teaser, just like those Hollywood movie trailers, and publish it on YouTube and other Video Sharing sites. Link back to yours.

9. Look for popular blogs in your niche and do collabs or guest blog with them to get more opportunities to promote your book in front of their audience. Or just buy some cheap sponsored ads on their email newsletter.

10. If your book is REALLY good, then give away some copies to small YouTube channels or vloggers and in exchange, if they like it, ask them to link to your book. And tell their audience about it.

I'm in a similar niche. My funnel includes three recipe books. One for a lead magnet and two for sale. We sell them individually for $19.99 or as a bundle for $24.99. We also sell the bundle as an upsell for 50% off.

I don't know how to best go about just selling recipe eBooks. There is a ton of free content out there on social media and on food blogs.

We sell ours along with other related products and people seem to be willing to pay for them as an add on to the other products they buy. I doubt we'd have the same success selling them individually.

I'd say look at the bigger picture and see what kind of brand you can build around your niche and your recipes.

I've been using Facebook groups to funnel folks into ONE place where I can keep their
attention.

I've got a few Facebook groups I run, one in keto, intermitting fasting, and paleo.

We have diet plans/programs for each.

All of my traffic... free and paid... get people into our free Facebook group
where we soft sell our ebooks.

We add value, drop some strategic links, and do about $15,000 to $20,000
a month using that method.

BUT... I've also been selling ebooks since 2002, so I'm sure my head start
online and in marketing, in general, made most of the difference.

Hi,

CJ and Amazon is good choice and You can also promote on Instagram as well,, good traffic and response.

That's a great question! Awesome niche! Like any niche, you can promote through various methods.

Some of these methods include:

Forums
Blogging
Pay Per Click
Banner Ads

There are free and paid methods to take advantage of, one of my top recommendations would be to build an email list and give something away for free that way once potential customer signs up you can follow up with your leads and recommend this course as well as many other courses that are like it. Very achieve, I hope this helps!

You could create a site and funnel sales by yourself. Alternatively, you can get established vegan lifestyle blogs to showcase your recipe book or run ads on Google and Facebook.

Create a membership site for vegan recipes and turn a chunk of your 4K subscribers into monthly paying subscribers supplying them vegan recipes periodically.

Try sending out a trial copy of your eBook to your current subscribers with the option to purchase the full copy if they like it. There is software you can use that will either give them x amounts of days to look at it or use a code to unlock the full content.

PS* this is not for just a post count, just because they are not responding does not mean they are not reading the posts. Plus others who need help may also be reading it. Just saying..
