eBook Websites

tntebook · 04-07-2009, 06:15 PM

Is the competition really tough for eBook sites? I've had a site for a little while, but its going pretty slow. I understand it doesn't happen overnight, but I'm starting to think there could be better options.

I tried to check out your signature link, but it's a blank page...

Is your ebook site a store and is it an affiliate store? If so there are Hundreds of them out there. You'll need to be creative and put something unique together. Membership site, Review type site where people can come in and review the ebooks on your site from their own exp. If it is generic ebook site you do have very steap compation and it will be very hard to make your first sale

how would you compete against Googles free online book search program?

Alex Taylor · 04-07-2009, 08:00 PM

Sean's right.

You might want to make yourself slightly different by being an ebook store for only one niche. So just books on dating, or just books on weight loss, etc.

That way you could also provide more in-depth reviews and coverage of each product.

Hi Chris,

The random assortment of clutter reminds me of a dusty attic.

Here's my welding torch, and my lie detector... don't trip on the bread machine, it's under the pile of 200 health tips!

I can't imagine who would see this and say, "Man, this is everything I need, I gotta hang around and check it out more!"

Regards,
Allen

Few issues on why you will most likely NEVER make a sale this is not to be mean or anything I just hate it when people work hard and waste there time because they do not know.

1. All your ebooks are the same price
2. Your site looks very generic
3. I feel like i could go pick up any or all these ebooks somewhere else for free if I did a simple search on google for them
4. you would be better off trying to sell one ebook you have read and like and submit a review of it join their affiliate program and earn 50% or so for the sale.

It looks like a lot of old stuff people have seen before.

Why not create or have created something unique?
