    You can add it to clickbank.com for $50 and have affiliate sell it for you.

    I've had best results selling directly to my customers.

    I found the top 5 websites in my niche and bought advertising on them. Also bought Google Adwords and YouTube advertising.

        It's wise to have a website, but you can go around to forums and try via your sig file to sell it or place ads on craigslist and US Freeads, but you won't get as good results as you would if you have a website to drive traffic to. You can also list on Clickbank, but again, you need a website and sales letter.

    I have a good way of selling that I use to sell my products that's a bit different to PPC and the usual online advertising methods...

    Say your product is an ebook on 'How to train your dog' for example. Go to your local magazine store and get copies of all the magazines on dogs... In the back of the mags you'll see the classified ads section (where you can place and ad) Simply, buy a small ad space (the smallest i've bought is 2cm x 3cm) and place word only, 'teaser' ad.

    I.e the ad should read something like - 'Want to train your dog into the perfect pet?' Go to www.your-web-address-here.com for FREE info...

    This directs 'ultra targeted' traffic to your website (i.e - killer sales page) and is really cost effective too - i've got ads for just a few $ sometimes (depending on the niche).

    Give it a go - I've had great success with this method - and found it cheaper than PPC, etc too...

    Good luck!

    There is a THANKS button in the lower right hand corner of everyone's post. Also, if you have your own ebook you will make the most money with a sales page. Look into something like flexsqueeze, which is a wordpress theme, you can easily create your own very nice looking page.

    Create a website, just use a template if you don't know much about website design. Put a short sales letter on and create a pay pal button to sell it. Then just advertise it.
