Is it possible to make a living from selling eBooks? Is anybody here currently doing that?

eBooks are very easy to produce, require little to no overhead, and are adjustable and flexible. And plus, the profit margins are huge.

    Yes, it is possible. What kind of ebook were you thinking about selling?

      Definitely possible. Like any other product, it depends on the market, their pain points, and how well you hit them with your marketing.

    No way, I'm not sure why e-books are still around. I'm not sure why people make so much money with them. Products on demand the worst Idea, 2nd to the computer..

    Do they work? Can you make money?

    Humm..
    Very funny.

    That's why a lot of WSO's involve hard copies!

    You can make more money letting other people sell your ebooks.

    Write your own and put it on ClickBank and let other people sell it for a commission. Or set up an affiliate program of your own on your website.

    John Locke seems to do well with his kindle books. Are these not EBooks. And the guy who wrote about getting his kids to sleep and sold 200,000 EBooks at >$10 Now a millionaire methinks.
    Hard copy books though do have a certain feel to them though.
    I'm sure there is a load of junk our there too, but my guess is that Yes. It must be possible.

    Clickbank seems pretty successful right? What are they selling these days, doublecheeseburgers?

    You can definitely make money doing ebooks as long as you pick the right niche, gather some affiliates, and market the right way.

      I see some really negative comments here. I'm wondering why they think it is not possible to make money selling e-books.

      They've got to be kidding! The guy who made a simple ebook on how to "not get banned" by PayPal sold more than 1274 copies and made over $15,000 in only seven days!

      I'm not here to promote this guy, but seriously, it should be "good news" for the rest of us trying to get our "foot in the door."

    What those who say you can't make a living selling ebooks are really saying is that THEY can't do it. Either that or they are just guessing at answers.

    I make a very good living selling ebooks. Been doing it since 1997.

    Just when you think you've got it all figured out, someone changes the rules.
