Chapter 6: Selling

If you really want to sell a lot of eBooks, you need an army of sales people, working for you 24/7. Now, you can hire a staff of salesmen to promote your book but who has the budget to do this?

I don’t and I’m sure you don’t either. However, there is a way to get thousands of other people busting their guts to sell your products… without you spending one single penny on advertising. Promoting your eeeeBook

Of course you will need to spread the word about your eBook once it is done. After all, that’s why you wrote it, right? To get it spread around so you can make money with it. Here are a few ways to do it.

Add a link to your eBook sales page in your email signature. Propose a joint venture with eZine Publishers in your target market, and ask them if they would like to promote, recommend, or review your eBook, in return for a 50% commission through your affiliate program.

Buy clicks from the pay-per-click search engines, so people will easily find your eBook. You can advertise your eBook in your own eZine. Buy ad space in eZines that cover your target audience.

Let people personalise a copy of your eBook demo with their own affiliate link, and let them give your eBook away from their own web site, etc.

Use a pop-up window on your web site, and ask your visitors to leave their name and email address in return for a demo copy of your eBook. If they don’t buy the first time, you can follow up on them later.
