Question about ebooks...

9 replies
Four Hour Work Week made the e-Book idea widely popular. Do you think e-books still have an allure? If you were to write an e-book, would it be a free download to your site to attract hits and you would have another way to monetize, or can e-books still be sold? What is the right price for an e-book? Just curious what you all think out there!

    I mostly use ebooks as an incentive to get people to sign up for my newsletter or buy through my affiliate link.

    Of course, e-books can still be sold. It all depends on what the e-book is about.

    I have had this dream of writing a novel for a long time now, and since the advent of e-books, I have considered publishing it in that form. That is, if I ever get to write the novel at all

    Ebooks are more popular then every before. Think about it for just a second really. Now you have the kindle. You can sell your ebook for what ever price and have it listed on several sites the sell kindle books. Or you can give it away for free at all the same sites. Yes you can make money on it 2 ways once through the buyers who paid to buy the book and once from the free readers who bought from offers in your book. I use simple single page articles as ebooks and submit them to sites for free. The I also combine several articles and submit them to the same sites as paid. Either way it is a win win.

    With my free articles I simply want to bring them to my site to puchase things there. On the other hand in my paid books I still bring them to my sites to purchase items. However I got paid first before they even bought anything. This is all done through pad submissions. I create a pad file of the book or article and submit it to various software and ebook directories. I then get links to my site for submitting them . Plus I get people to pick up my articles and or ebooks and reed them and in turn come to my site again.

    You can give a chance of your visitor to read the summary of your book and for reading full book set a cost.

    Also the number of sale of your book depends on which topics you are writing in your book.

      ClickBank is a good indicator if ebooks can be sold profitably within your niche. Why reinvent the wheel, just look at what already successful marketers are doing and adapt their system to your own needs.

    I found that in the last 2 months, I have been making sales of ebooks and short reports quite consistently.

    Ebook sales are not dying, and people do download my ebooks (both paid and free).

    In fact, this is what prompted me to launch a wso here.

    people love ebooks and they always will. there's a method for free ebooks and also paid ones.

    as long as it contains quality information that isn't splattered all over the internet there will always be a place for them.

    and if you have written or ghostwritten a quality product don't be afraid to charge a decent price for it.

    regards
