Making money off eBooks?

by eBookSeller
18 replies
Hey guys, I am fresh out of the oven here, my first post,
and I have a few questions about eBooks, for whoever is willing to answer.

I have about 3 released eBooks on numerous sites, sadly, I make little to no profit at all.
So far, I have made about $50 in them.

My eBooks are original and easy methods to earning Big Time Cash.
Why do they not sell?

Thank you,
eBookSeller

    Your eBooks describe methods to earn big time cash but you're complaining that you can't sell your own products.

    That seems legit.

      I never said my eBook's methods are by making and selling eBooks did I?
      Which is correct. I need help advertising.

        No one has any way of responding to your question because you didn't give use any details.

        We have no idea where your eBooks are being sold, how you're marketing, their titles, how you're sending traffic, etc.

        When you say "numerous" sites; are these all websites you own or are they 'hosted for you' type sites that allow you to upload your product there and sell it through them?

        If you have experience making big time cash, you obviously have experience selling or driving traffic, so you can see why I said that sounded legit.

          I have multiple ads on the website:
          Hackforums.net

          When I say - Big Time Cash - I was hopefully able to imply that the methods are good and actually work - atleast for me.

      They are not my sites, I sell them on sites with marketing sections, etc, etc.
      That is why I came here, to see if people would like my eBook - cheap and good.

        I would look first on getting reviews. Post an ad in the Warrior Forums Classifieds I believe is the method. You can sell it in the Warrior Special Offers, jvzoo.com or clickbank. Just be sure you go through the WF TOS.

        The effective way to sell your products is through Affiliates and arm them with the right marketing/sales material.

          Thank you for your advice.
          I will start building up my reputation hopefully to get good reviews.

          Later, I will move to dealing with affliates, etc.

        You're using PPC? Are you targeting random keywords or targeting keywords that pertain to the crowd that might be interested in your e-book?

        You say various sites but you linked me the hackforums? So are you telling me you're driving PPC traffic to a forum? Google wouldn't even allow you to do that, I'm not sure if Bing would or not, I have no experience with them what so ever.

        Where are you driving PPC from, how much is costing you on average per click and what's your conversion rate?

          Hm, sorry to sound like a jerk - but I sell my EBOOKS, regarding the methods earning money with PPC, and eBay selling. I myself do not use PPC anymore, but my method for eBay works great.

            So why don't you setup your own website devoted to your product/your eBook and use one of the PPC methods that was making you money to sell your own eBook?

              Pretty soon I will be hosting my website.

              Only thing is, would a website builder better for a job like this?
              Or would you recommend coding (dreamweaver, etc).

              Again thank you for your ideas,

                ...I'm definitely questioning the methods that are produced in your eBooks now.

                Thomas pretty much hit it right on the head. You don't sound qualified to be selling get rich or big time money products.

            So why not use the methods in your books to sell your books?

            Also in your opening post you said you were making little to no money.

            I don't want to sound like a jerk but it sounds like you may not be qualified enough to sell these...

    "Big time money" Is terribly cliche. Everyone is pushing a big time money method these days whether it works or not. Unless you have some serious credibility, try a different approach. Maybe you have a few sound methods in your book, I do not know. But, I do know from the general information you have given, you probably need to market it in another way. I have said nothing that anyone else has not said, but I have said my piece.

    Good luck!
