Selling my first eBook

16 replies
So after a lot of fails in IM world, I figured that I will sell the only method that worked for me that I have created myself so that I can get the money I need to start up something bigger.
Problem is that my way is grayhat. Its not illegal but its not fully 100% whitehat as it has a part of it which is punishable (you can just get ban from the system) won't go into details but where to sell this? Is creating a WSO about this kind of eBook allowed?
And as I just registered should I just give review copies for obvious reasons or should I find experienced eBook seller from the forums to vouch for me after approving that it is a quality method?
Its a really delicate method that I treasure so much and it can be explained in 10-20 sentences so I find it hard to chose the best,safest way to sell this.
Thanks for the help.

      No the only method I have created (twisted) that worked for me.
      This post isn't about what I am selling, I just need help in how to best sell it.

        What I'd do is to first start growing a list. GIVE AWAY the ebook and make a video course to upsell later on. You can then quiz your subscribers on what they'd like to learn from the book you just sent them. That's your video course and your money generator

          I understand how would that work, but the problem is that I aim for making a decent amount of money from giving this away, and I can't give a lot of copies about this since it can be satured easy if it gets out in public, giving it away for free is too risky for me.

            Now, here is the deal. And here is how you grow a list on autopilot without spending a dime. Make a capture page and give away the book. Then add an audiobook on top of that for $17 (that's called tripwire).

            You invest 100% of that back into keep funneling people to get your book for free. Once you have say 500 subscribers, you ask them what they want to learn NEXT, and make a $97 product. If you convert at 5%, you'd be making $2400 and keep growing your list for free.

            Don't think your method will be out and you won't have anything else to teach. There is always people that want it done for them. And your book will be pirated and uploaded to the cloud anyways.

            Focus on scaling and the 5/6 figures will come

            My two cents anyways

              Those are some nice tips there buddy, thanks.
              But that's for something that you can keep on going with, my problem is that I see my method as:
              imagine if no one knew that you can create a website, drive traffic to it, put ads and earn money that way..
              And you are the first one to tell this? That's how much potential I see in this. Problem is that it requires some serious work and I want to make money just by telling it

    Maybe you should make a book that says "do NOT try this method because it didn't work for me". We can all learn from mistakes, as well as we learn from successes
    Jokes aside, there is nothing wrong with selling your method, but make sure it will help someone in some way, don't rip people off .

      well yes I am sure that it will help anyone who is ready to do some actual work every day. You can't fail with it and that's why I tressure it so much and want to do this as perfect as possible.

    it can be satured easy if it gets out in public
    Then it won't sell for long.
