How to sell Ebooks

Hello,
I just created my first ebook. The plan was to sell it on ebay but I have been told that ebay no longer accept ebooks.

So I will create my own little site where people can pay and download the ebook. And this is where I am stuck!

How to I create a "Buy Now" button for an Ebook and how do I create the instant download after people paid for it?

Thank you for your help!

I also ran into this problem, although I was not planning on selling my ebooks on Ebay. I have someone that puts a Pay Pal button and does the download work.

There are several sites that will handle all of this for you, like Payloadz. Then for someone that does not want to go through the trouble of building a site for one ebook there is LuLu.

I hope this helped to answer your question or give you some ideas.

This is not exactly gonna help you sell ebooks, but i came across this interesting free back office "system" for ebooks: www.scrobbld.com

If you use Paypal, scrobbld can help you keep track on sales/inventory and customers, and it will also send an email to customers when they pay for your book. I use scrobbld, even if i dont sell ebooks, its anyway a good back office system.

Its free as long as you have 3-4 sales a day.

BigFace is an unknown quantity at this point
Selling ebooks is getting harder and harder, especially since most of them are just crap!
Everyone wants to sell their ebook/s but who wants to buy?

I could help you setup a website that would help you sell eBooks with instant downloads after a payment is confirmed.

You would need a domain name and web hosting service. (Together this would cost around $29 to $100 per depending on your website and requirements.)

After a website is setup, it would take a few days of work to optimize it to promote the website for free search engine traffic.

Within 3 to 5 days after the website is complete and officially launched, it should be indexed at Google, and it would start receiving organic traffic.

Do you have any special requirements for selling your eBook?


If you would like help setting a website to sell eBook, let me know, I would be happy to help you get started quickly.

If you've problem creating your own site, you can just sell it through clickbank. Clickbank is the best portal on internet for selling stuff like ebooks. Another good thing about clickbank is that affiliates will do the selling stuff and you'll just get paid for your ebook sales.

You can easily sell your ebook if you have the convincing power to convince the buyers to buy your ebooks. It really depends on how you market it.

Make a site and join clickbank, Offer high commissions to affiliates and if your ebook is good enough, it will generate your revenue. Or if you can generate high amount of traffic then signup for payloadz and sell it through payloadz.

Everyone suggesting to sell it on Clickbank: Clickbank requires that you already have a website. No website? No Clickbank. Clickbank does NOT make a website for you.

It's not difficult at all to create your own website, in fact if you can send an email you can create your own website. And you can create it for...free! Your costs? Around ten bucks to register a domain name for a year and hosting. I use hostgator for $10 a month and can have as many separate domains as I want, even 10,000. You'll also need an autoresponder, which collects the names for you and helps protect you from being called a spammer (very important). I use aweber for $19 per month.

So my domain name costs $10 a year and my monthly costs for hosting and autoresponder are about $40 per month.

But did you know selling directly from a website is the WRONG way to go about it?

Selling on the internet is about creating relationships with your list.

How do you create an email list? Create a squeeze page.

That's a simple one-page website where people can fill out the opt-in form and sign up for a free report or ebook. Give them something free, get their name and email address in return and you can then begin building an email list of your own.

Have you ever heard anyone say the money is in the list? It is! But not if you don't have your own list. So you need to create one.

So create a squeeze page first, then start sending traffic to it. You can do that by a simple signature under each of your posts here (as I have at the end of my posts) or by making youtube videos and showing your squeeze page url in it, or by writing articles and sending them to Ezine Articles, there are a lot of different (and free) ways to get traffic to your squeeze page.

Once you have sign ups, you'll be able to begin creating a list.

Then begin emailing your list, let them get to know you and trust you. Then you can create a website (also called a sales page) for your ebook and begin marketing to them (this is called internet marketing after all).

There's more to it, of course, there are a lot of small details you need to know about, but those are very easy to learn!

We're all here to learn and to help each other right?

Here's the best thing I can do for you, and it's something free. Go to this website and get a FREE copy of the book. Just scroll down to where it says "Unlock Your Free Report Today!" and fill in your name and email address and get a free copy of Chris Farrell's 'Create Your Own Website By 3:45 This Afternoon'

Sign up, then check your email for one from Chris Farrell and click on the link in it to confirm. Once you click to submit, the next page that comes up is a sales pitch (but it's for a very good product, his membership site, of which I am a member) but you can ignore it if you want. Just click off that page of you don't want to see it.

Go back to your email and open the next one that will appear from Chris Farrell. Read that email! It's important. It also has the download link for the book, and he'll also begin sending you his Success Grenade newsletter, which is excellent, so be sure you open those emails when he sends them to you.

You will learn a ton of neat stuff, a little bit at a time.

This is the very same ebook that I used. If it were not for this book I wouldn't have my own website!

So go there and get your copy of it and learn how to make your own website yourself. You can do it.

Have fun!

Lightbulb Selling your own e-books or digital content

Hi there,

I ran into the same problem when I wanted to sell my art lesson e-books and couldn't find anywhere online to do it. Luckily I found e-junkie and they have really come through for me. I just create my e-books, save them as a PDF and e-junkie stores and delivers them to my buyers. All my payments come through paypal. They have a variety of plans and they are very helpful when you have a question. E-junkie works for any digital product you may have. If you have any questions drop me a line.

I hope this saves people some time.

All the best,

Alejandra
