A great way to receive potential buyers to your sales page is to promote your eBook by… giving it away. Now, you probably wonder how you can make money by giving your eBook away? It’s simple. Suppose your eBook has 15 chapters, you might allow the reader to browse chapters 1-4 and password protect the remaining 11 chapters.
To access those chapters, the reader must purchase an unlock key from you before proceeding. Most eBook software programmes offer this function and can be found through a web search.

Niche Markets
One question that people keep asking is how they can survive, selling eBooks or Info-Products in this oversaturated Information Market, where competition is high.
You know how it goes… Someone releases a new eBook with resell rights, and the next day, you see some other marketer offering the same product at a 50% discount.
It’s not easy competing with people who sell below the price, especially, when it comes to Internet Marketing products. Now, if you don’t have a big list to sell your Info-Products to, you should consider niche markets. The reason why it’s much easier to sell niche products to a small group of people than selling Internet Marketing related products, is because IM products are being sold by people with HUGE lists to other marketers who see the same offers pop up everywhere.
There’s just too much competition, so it’s wiser to stick with small markets that are global making you part of the so called long tail economy.
For example, does your product appeal to gardeners? That’s a wide market, so you can narrow it down.
Who is most likely to be interested? People looking for information about houseplants? Roses? Bonsai trees? After narrowing it down as far as you can, think of appropriate keywords.
Check with Google to see how many websites come up using your keywords.
Next you can use a website that tracks keyword usage (such as Word Tracker or Overture) to see if there are plenty of users looking for your specific information.
If there are enough potential customers and the competition is low, you may have found your perfect niche.
After you have chosen your niche, try to set up a website around it, and use the keywords in your domain name. This will help your website ranking, and make interested people find your site faster. It’s a fact… choosing the right niche will make you sales.
Just be sure to find a niche with plenty of potential customers and little competition. You can join a niche membership club.
Or you can search Google for Info-Products that contain your niche keyword and take it from there. It’s up to you to do your homework, know your market and sell direct to that market.
