I need some assistance

10 replies
Ok i have all the raw materiel (sp?) Ebooks (at least 300 or more). I have the ideas of how and where to advertise which i have though, not as much as i should. My question the board, HOW...ON...EARTH...DO... I...SELL...THESE...EBOOKS and start making money IMMEDIATELY!? And no i dont have a website as of yet, i wanted to wait until i had made some money selling the ebooks singularly or in packages and build up my client base online and offline before i created one. So actually the question is three fold
1. What is the best advertising methods to get people to buy the ebooks singulary or in package deal (a offer that they cannot refuse) without it sounding like a spam, a scam or both?
2. Dont need the where as much as what is the best place to do so?
3. And how do i start selling to the point where i am making cash N-O-W!
I am SOOO willing to work hard for this but in some ways...ok in a LOT of ways i dont know what the HECK im doing. Can anyone assist?

    I would say all you need is already in this forum.
    Why not spend the time to search through old
    threads and learn from them. You can use the
    search function on this forum or search Google
    directly for what you are interested in.

    For example, search google for the following:

    site:warriorforum.com how to sell ebooks

    I did and there are tons and tons of very good
    threads about the subject that will keep you
    busy for a while,

      If you can't afford to buy a domain and hosting, at least get a free blog or free page (blogger.com or weebly.com). You are going to need some sort of site then you can drive traffic to your page in all sorts of ways.

    For starters you need to give us a bit more information - otherwise your question is too generic to give a proper answer to.

    - What are these "300 e-books"? Are they new titles, or just a collection of the stuff we all have littering our hard drives?
    - What rights do you have to them? Are you the author of any of them?
    - Are they in PDF format or another format (i.e. ePub)? Are there any in a raw text format that you would have the rights to market as Kindle books?
    - Do you have a sales page that you received with each book, or are you more interested in bundling them as a package.
    - Do you have any Internet Marketing skills already or are you just starting out? Do you know how to build a sales funnel, how to make items available for download and how to integrate PayPal or another payment processor into your site?

    Keep in mind that on eBay you can buy packages of thousands of eBooks for 99 cents - most of them Internet Marketing books from 2007 or earlier, making them essentially worthless in 2010.

    If you provide a few more details I'm sure you'll receive a wealth of information.

    I don't want to be negative about your ebook business but there has to be some reality about the ebook business model.

    A number of years ago people did make money from ebooks however ebooks nowdays have a low perceived value and are mainly given away as premiums or viral marketing campaigns.

    It's always good to keep your options open with new niches but I would suggest if you have 300 books they will be of a generic nature.

    I hope tha't I'm wrong and your business will be a raging success, but there are too many people throwing efforts and cash at projects that are destined never to succeed.

    Unfortunately I'm going to break your bubbles. (I mean, it's not easy to sell them off immediately as you'd expect)

    It's quite impossible to sell your e-books immediately unless you have a name "registered"... Like Jeremy Schoemaker, John Chow, and whoever that you think may be "famous". They can sell their products easily cos they have quite a bit of reputation already.

    One idea I thought it may work is that, you can try posting these ebooks part by part in your blog. Give it a try. See if people cares to read about them. No readers = no value.

    If it's become popular, try out what many have been teaching - send free ebooks first, through your squeeze page. Then if your readers think that they're useful, sell it to them. (it's like those free trail software you see at download.com)

    Selling ebooks are quite challenging because the value of ebooks, like some suggest, is not as much as when it's got started. People need to trust you before you can sell anything to them.

    All these takes time, friend.

    All the best in your marketing career.

    Are these books a bunch of PLR rights? I'll assume you personally didn't write 300 books, correct?....If all you're trying to do is sell a package of plr books you bought from somebody else, who has sold the rights to tons of other sellers, then this is not a good plan.

    It might be feasible if you had a an existing list of faithful buyers who are already interested in the topic you want to promote, but any shotgun approach is doomed.
    Also, there is no 'immediate success' in IM, but instead there's a path to follow which takes time, unfortunately.
