Ebooks? sorry but I don't have much idea regarding ebooks? Do you want to start business or marketing ebooks? kinda hard though, its of lesser interest to people. Thinkof something that would easily get the attention and interest of online people. Goodluck!

Selling ebooks is a great way to make money, but as with every other income oportunity you have to make an effort. There is a huge demand for ebooks so even though there are many, many other sellers out there, you can still make money at it. You just have to try to offer something that the other sellers don't. I sell ebooks on eBay as well as on my own websites. I also have a free download site where people can get access just by signing up to my newsletter. This builds me a mailing list so I can email special to and sell ebooks to them that way. there are tons of places online to get your hands on free resale rights products to get you started with but to make the really big money you need to create your own products. It really is a lot of fun. I love ebooks and get a lot just for my own use so it just seemed natural for me to take the next step and start selling them.

Hi sunnypub, thank you very much for your information. I have a few questions for you..How much do you sell per ebook? Do you charge according to the number of pages in an ebook or based on topics? how do you complete with those people giving free ebook downloads? Thank you

I generally charge $1.47 for most of my eBooks on eBay. I look to see what other people are charging for the same ebook and try to price it a littel cheaper. For the ones I sell outside of eBay it really depends. I test different prices to see which one gets the most sales. I compete with everyone by adding more to my product. On eBay I have freebies with every purchase and I make sure potential buyers know that. The trick is to offer ebooks as freebies that other people aren't offering. As far as competeing with the free download people, I am actually one of them also. I have my own free download membership site. people just need to sign up to my mailing list and then they can download all the eBooks inside the members area. Then I send email with links to eBooks that I am selling to my mailing list and get sales that way. I set up a website to sell an eBook package and it is on the website where I get most of my members from. I also make sure to put links to my free ebooks just about everywhere I go online. It is in my email signatures, on my donwload pages from ebay sales, in my profiles at forums etc. I don't really worry about competeing with other people. I just do what I enjoy doing. One of my biggest strengths is the customer service I extend to my customers, members etc. Just a few days ago I finally opened an ebay store to sell the eBooks and I am trying to get it populated with eBooks right now. The great thing about eBay is there are always people wanting to buy eBooks to help build their own collection or just to get feedback. For that reason I keep my eBay prices pretty low. I can even lower them more now since it costs less to list an eBook in my store than as a regualr auction. I am also working on creating my own eBooks because that is where you can really make some money. Right now I have resale eBooks and there are millions out there who also have them, but I do okay. A lot of the time the resell ebooks that I have state how much you have to charge. Those are the ones that I sell to my mailing list because I think they are too high for ebay. I am also working on opening up an affilliate program so people can earn commissions on all the eBooks I seel at my website. These are the ones that I cannot sell on ebay for one reason or another. Once I have that up and running I hopefully will get some real great affilliates so we can both make some money. All in all it just takes figuring out what works for you, what prices you are comfortable with and how much you really want to make. I am not looking to become the next millionaire. I just want to be able to bring in a steady second income for my home.

Here is the link to my free download membership site: http://www.yogaebook.com/freeebooks Here is a link to my ebay store: http://stores.ebay.com/Ktynse-eBooks-Plus Here is the link to a blog I just started where I give away free ebooks without having to sign up for anything: http://blogcharm.com/ebooksplus All of these sites fall under my main website which is GiddyAspirations.com. I am currently redesinging the site and making the membership area password protected so if you sign up now you will have to resign up once the redesign is done.
