Precautionary Advice - Selling E-Books on eBay for Real Money
I have been studying the online market of e-Books for a few years. I started off like many others; curious to know how much money I could make online through eBay selling these digital items that require no postage. I quickly built an online reputation for the e-Books I was selling as well as increasing my feedback score. But unfortunately eBay shut-down my account and stated that I did not have the copyright permissions to sell the e-Books, despite that fact that I owned the resell rights in writing.
About 6 months later after numerous emails to eBay customer support, a recorded letter to head office and phone calls to their seemingly non-existent customers services call center. I finally managed to get my eBay account revoked. But I had lost faith in using eBay to sell my e-Books so I set-up my own online store on my website. This is when I really began to understand why it is so easy to sell on eBay; the number one reason is the sheer volume of traffic and visitors that eBay receives each and every day. It would cost me just 15p to list a single e-Book on eBay, yet to promote my website would costs hundreds if not thousands to generate the same number of sales that I achieved on eBay.
There is another major revenue pitfall that many e-Book sellers seem to miss out on; marketing within the contents of the e-Books they are selling. Many sellers do not check the contents of their e-Books, many of the e-Books they are selling may contain adverts that are making other sellers money! Try to add at least a link within the e-Books you are selling which bring visitors back to your site. That way if the e-Book is sold or passed on, your link will still bring its readers back to your website.
Setting up a Google AdSense account to place adverts inside your e-Books is another way to generate extra streams of revenue from your e-Books. That way when a customer buys an e-Book from you the transaction does not have to end there.
My biggest tips would be:
Try to write your own e-Books; that way you own full control over the adverts that are placed within the e-Books contents.
If you do sell on eBay make sure you own full resell rights and copyright permissions and state this clearly on all of your auctions.
Dont fall into believing that all your revenue comes from e-Book sales alone. E-Book sales are often only one third of your total revenue.
Often an underpriced e-Book will produce much higher sales figures from the contents within the e-Book.
Customize your e-Books; place link back to your website, include adverts and affiliate marketing
My e-Book store: e-Bookz.co.uk has been running independently for only a few months but is slowly picking up sales.
