i need advice on selling an ebook worldwide

12 replies
i've got the resell licence for a book written by robert evans, an internet marketeer here in england.
this was purchased from a very limited amount of licences available.
at the moment its only been sold here in england and has not even been sold world wide yet.
its about setting up different income streams and is 146 pages long and normally sells for £77 but i've been given permission to sell it for a bit less maybe £57

what i want to know is, should i leave the currency as pounds or change it to dollars or would whoever buys it just convert it to their own as i've bought loads of books that have dollars in and its not bothered me that much.

i've also got 14 other books of his and hoping to start and make some money online.

as i didnt write the book but got the licence for im guessing i cant do a wso, or can i put it in the classifieds. do many people buy of the classifieds here.

thanks
ray

    Article marketing, forum marketing, etc. work well to promote your product.

    Yes, stick to $ to keep it simple.

    Ray,

    Correct, you can't do a WSO as it's not your created product.
    Correct, you can do a classified as there are no restrictions on who created the product you are promoting through the classified ad.

    Do many people buy?

    Not as many as from the WSO section, but they do buy if what you are offering is what they are looking for, and at a price they can afford.

    Don't forget to get it on Kindle, Xinxii, Barnes and Noble, etc. Let Amazon do the selling for you. If you are willing to suffer a little, you can get the biggeset powershouse in the industry to push your market worldwide. As you probably know, they are selling in the UK now.

      If you need to sell an ebook worldwide you need to produce it through Smashwords. I have an ebook that is selling well on Diesel because I went through Smashwords. It must make it to the premium catalog so have Sandy Mertens do the ebook and info is at this link.

      Smashwords does no drm ebooks. That means there are no territorial limitations that will prevent your ebook from being sold worldwide. You give up some protection from piracy but you gain a massive audience. As Mark Coker of Smashwords says, anonymity is much worse than piracy.

      You can get a free 13 digit isbn number as you will need a new number when your Smashwords ebook is complete. Hope this helps. Also read this response to another post. It could blow you away at what they are doing, including Scrollmotion apps for all premium ebooks!

      If you are in with these major ebook sites like Diesel, which can be read on: iPhone, Sony Reader, Nook, PC, Mac, Linux, Blackberry, Android, iPad, then you don't have to promote your ebook unless you want to. It is done for you.

      And a little birdie has said that Amazon may also support epub, which Smashwords does primarily, soon.

      You cannot sell an ebook in the real ebook market for an obscene profit. You should probably price it for no more than $11.99. That is in the real ebook market. But you could sell thousands upon thousands of copies if it is on the mark. You know Robert G. Allen already is in that market and his ebooks sell for around 10 or 11 dollars. If you want to undercut his price you could sell it for $7.99.
