Where can I sell my eBook?

23 replies
Hey,

I have a problem.. I wrote an eBook a while back, I have been getting steady sales until I had to take down my website. Now I get a few sales here and there, but nowhere near enough, What I want to ask now is, where can I sell this eBook?

I have had a look on clickbank, but you must have a thank you page, and I don't have one just yet, what do you reccommend?

Thanks.

    Build another website, get either some PPC or Facebook ads to point to that landing page with the ebook to get traffic.

    All you need really is one page for someone to go to.

    If you publish through Smashwords.com, your book is available in most ebook formats and will be listed on a number of sites. If you've already put it up on (let's say) Amazon, you just list your book as the "Smashwords edition" instead of "Published at Smashwords."

    Regards

    Why did you have to take down your site?

    How did you delivered your ebook if you didn't have a download page?

    Also if you want to a place to sell it there is jvzoo.com which is great even though it's more focused on the MMO market. But still you'll need a thank you page where people can download their product, but I think on JVzoo they provide one for you if you want.

    JVZoo. You can make your own sales page there, and don't need a website at all. The whole process is quick and easy!

    I've just put my first product on their site (the top one on my Sig)., and it's easy to do.

    They are recommended by a lot of people here. Quick support reply too

    There are many ways
    1#
    Sell on a online book store like Amazon Kindle, Barnes and noble bookstore
    2#
    Make a website and sell it there
    3#
    Sell it on a affiliate site lice Clickbank and offer a commision of about 50%-75%
    Before you say something let me tell you an example
    If you sell your book for 20$ and the commision is 50%
    Then 1000 affiliates come and in 1 month each sells 1 copy
    You will get 10,000$ and each of them will get 10$
    You have done your work and now they work but you will also get paid.
    Sweet, right?

    How are you still getting a few sales here and there if you had to take down your website?

    I've read lots of great idea's here! I post some of my products on Clickbank, other than that I do build websites as a "home base" to promo and sell my products. I use e-junkie.com to process some of my orders as well. These are great resources, whichever you decide to go!

    I would create a simple Thank You page and then submit it to Clickbank and SmashWords, it really doesn't take long to create a download page.

    hey...

    first go to https://kdp.amazon.com/ and set up an account...if you dont know how to format a ebook for amazon this tells you how.

    If you dont like amazon or want a couple of places to submit then head over to Smashwords -- Ebooks from independent authors and publishers and post it there.

    if you post on amazon make sure it is over $2.99...that way you make 70% profit.

    You also said that you have made some great sales off the ebook...have you thought of amping it up a bit and turning it into a membership site. Or turning it into a product?

        If you want to sell it cheap start on fiverr!

        If you want to build a list create a squeeze page for it and give it away or as an OTO to another offer.

        If you want to sell it on Amazon, start by putting it on kindle FOR FREE for 24-48 hours and then sell it at a low price!

        Hope it works for you

    Sell it at a forum like this one. Forums have built-in traffic, and this means you do not need to spend money to drive traffic to your offer.

    I also think that you can sell it on even this page of forum through your signatures .
    But obviously you should have website also to do this business.

    I would definitely start up another website. It shouldn't take you too long since you must have had content for the site that you shut down. Just freshen the content up a bit and get it going. Combine that with some Facebook advertising and you should have a quick start. Use some traditional internet marketing for the long term.
