Ebook Income

Here’s an idea for making money with ebooks that you should give SERIOUS consideration to.

Imagine that for an investment of a grand total of $7.00 someone would give you not only an ebook showing you how to build an ebook business from start to finish but also a complete packaged system to make it all work. No, I haven’t got that decimal point in the wrong place, that’s seven dollars. Job done.

You get the idea, the methodology, the software and comprehensive instructions on how to install it (it’s a breeze). Not only that but there’s good after-sales support to iron out any little wrinkles you might have AND you even get the rights sell the whole package yourself if you like AND keep all the profit!

Too good to be true? Don’t you believe it. Listen, this is important.

I’m going to start off with a bit of disclosure here. One of the purposes of this post is to encourage you to buy the ebook I’m recommending at the end.

However, I am doing it to illustrate a point, a very important one, and whether you buy the ebook or not will make little difference to me but could make a great deal of difference to you.

A bit more disclosure: if you do buy it, I will make a few dollars.

But then this blog is called the Ebook Income, and it’s pretty clear it’s about making money from ebooks, so what do you expect?

There are in fact a couple of points here. They should probably be under a heading of “income diversification” or, “not having all your eggs in one basket”.

But I’m going off at a tangent, let’s restart.

Amazon’s Kindle ebook reader is a great step forward. It’s not flawless but the few niggles are easy to gloss over because the thing does what it’s supposed to and does it well. As a first attempt it’s got winning technology and the huge publishing support that will almost certainly guarantee its success.

I know some people don’t like the looks (I do) but in use you actually forget that it’s a digital device at all after a while. It’s just like reading a book - which is how it should be.

Let’s get straight to it. If you’ve ever thought about writing a book then now’s the time to sharpen your pencil and get to it. There has never been a better time to write and sell an ebook. Not only that but the money can get pretty interesting too!

Now you’ll notice I’ve changed the word “book” to “ebook” in the paragraph above. Although there’s nothing to stop you writing and publishing a traditional book, by far the most profitable approach now is ebooks.

It’s also a market which, in part thanks to Amazon’s Kindle, is expanding rapidly - faster than at any time before.

It gets better. Virtually everything you need to start writing a best selling ebook you either already have, or you can get for free.

One of the most fun things about selling an ebook is the residual income any successful ebook generates.

Just think about this powerful effect for a minute - it’s the sort of thing that can change lives.

When you go to work you’re on a fixed wage. You’re a wage slave. In order to earn - let’s say $40,000 - you need to be earning at least four times that for your boss. In other words, at best you’re getting 25% of your worth. At best.

When you sell your ebook you may not get $40,000. Not for your first one anyway. In fact if you’re just starting out you’ll be lucky to get anything like that unless you’ve had plenty of money to invest in the launch.

But let’s say you did the launch as cheaply as you could. In fact let’s say you spent nothing. You did a bit of article marketing, you got the word out on some appropriate forums. As a result, maybe you’ll only get a few hundred dollars your first month.
