If you are looking for ways to make money online or to

expand your existing home business, selling ebooks

could be just what you need. Selling ebooks is easy,

affordable and there are practically no expenses (other

than purchasing the ebooks). You might want to write

some of the ebooks yourself to save money and to help

spread the word about you and your business!



You can either purchase ebooks with or without resell

rights. I would recommend buying ebooks with resell

rights so your customers have an additional reason to

purchase from you. They can then sell the ebooks themselves!



There are several ways you can set up your new ebook

selling site or ebook store.



Sell on Ebay



You can auction off your ebooks on eBay. eBay has very

specific policies on selling ebooks so be SURE to read and

follow all their policies.



Offer Ebooks on Your Site



If you already have a site, you can easily offer the ebooks

on your existing site. Make a folder called ebooks (or

whatever you like) and upload it to your host. Upload

all your ebooks into this folder. Give them keyed names

so people will not be able to guess the file name.



For example: if you have an ebook called Ezine Publishing

and you call the file ezinepublishing.zip, this could make it

very easy for someone to "guess" the download link by the name

and download the ebook for free.



You want to code the names- for example:



instead of ezine publishing, you might name the file

ez-pub-32c.zip These coded names are nearly impossible

for people to guess so they are unable to steal the ebook.



Then add an index page where you would introduce your

ebook store to your visitors. Let them know there will be no

shipping cost as they are delivered electronically. Make

sure you introduce your ebook store on your site homepage

as well.



You might also want to list the categories on the index

page so your customers can click directly to the ebooks

they are interested in. Have a short description of

the ebook and a graphic (if possible). You can have a

whole page for each ebook or you can put several on a

page.



Go to Paypal and make up a button to put on your site

for ordering. If you do not like Paypal, use any payment

service you want.



**TIP - To avoid the time of making up each individual

button, use the code from the first button and just change

the necessary info like price, item name and code. This

will save you a lot of time in setting up your ebook store.



Automatic Digital Delivery



You can purchase a program for setting up your store and

having all purchases automatically delivered. This saves

you a lot of time plus gives your customers the items

immediately which helps with repeat sales.



One such program that does this very well is called The

Digital Store. Do a search for this or automatic digital

delivery ebooks and you will find a wide variety of

scripts/programs to suit your needs.



Be sure to continually add new ebooks for your existing

customers. We have had numerous repeat sales by doing

this. Also, you might want to have a mailing list to keep

people up to date of your new additions and any specials

or sales you may be having.



Affiliate Programs



You can also sell other people's ebooks by joining their

affiliate program. This means that for every ebook you sell,

you will get a commission from the ebook owner. If you write

your own ebook, you could also start your own affiliate

program. To find such programs just do a search for ebook

affiliate programs.



If you do purchase and/or write your own ebooks for resale,

be sure and choose/write the ebooks with a lot of useful,

helpful information and resources. There are a lot of ebooks

that are simply full of ads and sales letters for the writer's

products. You want to steer clear of these types of ebooks.



People love to buy and read good ebooks and if you offer

a good selection and price, they will continue to buy from you.
