Recommendations Needed!Urgent!

19 replies
Dear Warriors, I will be going through a surgery within 6 weeks and I am trying to put some cash in the corner(for my surgery and expenses during the recovery stage).

I have written 10 eBooks and I am looking to sell them as a bundle (buy all 10)

These eBooks can be categorized as;

-Search engine optimization designed for WordPress only.
-Untapped traffic sources & how to create solid traffic
-200$+ with AdSense in 60 days
-Step-by-step website flipping
-CPA and Facebook - behind the curtains
-Make sure engines fall in love with your website
-Inside Google
-Turn your loss into profit with these calculations
-Human mind & Internet
-1000 Free back link sources

The eBooks are well written and organized.I have put serious amount of effort and time into each eBook.

My question is;
-is it better to sell each book individually?if so, how much should I price them for fast selling.
-if I want to sell the eBooks as a bundle, meaning get all 10.What should be a good price?

I have spend over 240 hours on research, writing, organizing, proof reading and testing.Please help me out here with your opinions as I am in the sh*t hole...

Thanks for your time and help in advance, dear warriors.

    I would suggest between $15 to $20.It may go fast that way, however each ebook will sell at a value of $1.5 to $2...Life can be mean sometimes

    I hope you get well soon.

      Sorry to hear about your surgery. So what do you think they are worth?

      My question is this, though: Why did you spend so much time writing the books if you didn't have a plan ready to distribute them?

      -- j
      I did have a plan of distributing the books via kindle, blogs, landing pages, clickbank.However, my surgery date has been decided earlier today and now I am in need of a new plan.

      Also thank you for the feedback on my mistakes.English is my second language, but I realize that isn't a good excuse.I was able to get 3 of my eBooks edited by a professional editor.The rest of them are still not checked for any mistakes.(I wasn't expecting a sudden urge of having to tell my books asap).

      Also would you be kind enough to give me some ideas on pricing?

        Well Kindle may be a good option for getting instant traffic but unfortunately Amazon won't actually pay you for 90 days which probably rules it out.

        If you do decide to go for Kindle then I would reccommend making them all available separately as well as including the bundle of books.

        You could price them at 2.99 a piece and then offer the bundle at a reduced rate. Mention in the description that the person can purchase the entire collection and that they save X amount of dollars if they do so.

        Considering English is your second language I assume you don't live in the US, if that is the case then you will also receive the check in US dollars and it will take longer for your bank to clear the check because of that.

    How many pages per book average are we talking about? I'm not an expert but 10 books in 10 days suggests that the content is a bit thin...

    Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.

    you are trying to sell something you don't know whether your audience will need them. Rather I would advice you to build a list of subscribers, ask them what are their challenges and then provide them one of your ebooks based on their challenges.

    It is a bad idea to create a product before you have build a list and know their needs.

    However looking at your product line they are tapping into various sub niches in IM niche and getting targeted traffic to each of them will be difficult if you are planning to do seo. PPC will be risky because you don't know your conversion. Listing your product in clickbank and hoping for affiliates to sell is not a serious business and you have lots of products.

    So start building your list, know their needs and based on them give them solutions, this is the best way to get started selling products.

    I start my coaching program that sells for $1000 per year before I even create the first lesson of my coaching program. I just have the outline in mind but I finalize my lessons only based on the challenges that my clients tell me they want to solve. You must do the same...

    You might want to create a WSO for 1 book for $5 at 100% commission, then have your other ebooks packaged as an OTO for $13 at 50% commission.

    are you selling books? PLR? MRR? If this is just for information then your going to get about .99 from Kindle. I won't but a 25 page book for more than that at that length since in 6 months your info will be outdated.
