You've spent hours writing your new ebook. Now comes the time to start making some money with it. Exactly how does one go about doing that? Read on and I will explain several methods of doing that.
On your own, you could edit a shortened version of your book which, while still offering some of the useful knowledge, could be given away as an enticement to buy the full version. You will want to give them enough to convince them how much better the whole story will be. You could promote the book by taking a couple of chapters from it and promoting them as 'leaked chapters' to generate interest. This could be done by offering a carefully chosen sample chapter or pages. Another way to do this is to use the ebook as content for a newsletter and then charge a fee for the subscription to the newsletter, similar to what most magazines do. Making your ebook upgradeable is another good way to offer your customers an incentive to come back for more.
Bundling your ebook with extra free offers will make it a more valuable purchase for your readers. Either find ebooks with similar topics or offer coupons to other products you may have. If you have an ebook product that links to affiliate sites that may profit you as well, then offering Master Resale Rights to your book can make it more attractive to those who are needing a product to sell. While your initial profits may not be as much, you are more likely to gain on the backend and the extra exposure from other people's promotion of your book will spread it much further than you could do alone.
Joint Venture partnerships with other ebook authors can gain you extra exposure as well. Even if you are offering your book to a select market for "free", the contacts you gain by this method gives you a ready market to pitch your next ebook creation to.
Depending on the nature of your ebook, you may be able to take the basic core and rework it to fit various niche markets. If your topic is something like Business Marketing, you can alter it to Retail, Wholesale or specific niche Business Marketing. Not only could this method create an entire "series" of books, it positions you as an expert in a multitude of fields.
While almost all ebooks are designed to be read on the computer screen, there are many who would like to be able to print it out and read it at their leisure. You could offer the option of purchasing an already printed out and bound copy of your book in addition to the digital version. The small extra cost of a simple binder, cover and shipping would be included in the price of this hands-on copy of your literary creation.
Be creative with your ebook promotions. Sometimes a novel marketing approach will interest prospective buyers more than the sales pitch you use to promote it.
