Quick update.
I
hope you like the new look newsletter. I have gotten rid of the old
framed style and anyone that had problems viewing in the past should
now have no problems. As I was updating the pages I noticed it is
almost a year since my first newsletter. How time flies..
The comment system seems
to be very popular with everyone, please keep adding your comments as
that's what brought this update. With your feedback I can make this
newsletter better than ever. If you have any suggestions I would love
to hear from you. Also feel free to submit your own tips and even if
you disagree with anything I write your comments are still welcomed.
Help The
Viral Process Begin.
Ok, you have
created an eBook and you have granted resale rights to generate an
affiliate income and website visitors. But have you ensured the
viral process can start? If you haven’t you may find your eBook will
not sell as well as you planned.
First of all make
sure in the opening statement of your eBook you mention your eBook
has resale rights and state your resale terms if you have any. Also,
don’t complicate things here. Keep the resale terms as simple as
possible. If you complicate things here you will find no one will
sell your eBook. I personally don’t care how others distribute my
resale rights eBooks as long as they are not modified.
Statements that
may complicate things include:
- Having a minimum resale price.
- Not allowing your eBook to be added to
membership sites.
- Not allowing your eBook to be packaged with
other eBooks/products.
- Not allowing your eBook to be given away.
Now most people
will have the above rules to keep the value of their eBook high.
However, if you feel strongly about some of the terms above my
advice would be not to grant resale rights in the first
place. For me granting resale rights means I want as many people as
possible to read my eBooks so I don’t really care how much it sells
for and how it is distributed.
You also need to
make it as easy as possible for others to resell your eBook.
The first thing
you should include is your sales page. Make sure you mention the
page can be edited. Also, the better looking the sales page is more
chances you have of someone using it to sell your eBook. It also
helps to include additional graphics and images. This helps your
reseller to make the page more personal.
Also try and
include a decent eBook cover. This helps with eBay listings as most
sellers like to add the cover to the listing.
Now have you ever
thought of including a winning bidder email with your eBook? This
would simply be a text document with a short message and download
link to your eBook. I don’t see this getting done much and can’t
understand why more sellers don’t do it. Think about it? If someone
who is not very experienced with selling eBooks, providing download
links or sending attachments can simply copy and paste an email to
deliver your eBook they are more likely to sell it for you.
Also, you are in
control and if you update your eBook more buyers will receive the
latest version. However, that is not the main reason for doing this.
Remember in the
last newsletter we
discussed how to create the perfect download page? Well what if other sellers were sending their customers
to your download page? How much more income would you be generating
from your up-sells, recommendations and AdSense?
So try to
remember to make it as easy as possible for others to sell your
eBook. The easier you make it the more people will sell it and that
will ultimately lead to you earning more, and that’s what it’s all
about…
Free eBooks. Simply click on the
titles to download.
If you would like to see your eBook added here please

Please note! I am not responsible for the content of any of the eBooks
below.
It is recommended you virus scan each eBook before opening it.
Well that's it for this issue,
don't forget to forward this newsletter to your friends if you
think it will interest them. Also, if you have received this
newsletter from a friend and would like your own copy next time
why not sign up and as soon as I update this newsletter you will
know.
Until next time. Take care...
