Ebooks: Increase Your Income From Each Ebook You Write
Want to increase your income from each and every ebook you write? Of course you do. Let’s look at four simple ways you can do this.
1. Sell a pre-launch version of your ebook. I always recommend to writers that they start selling the ebook while they’re writing it. You can do this very easily by creating a blog.
A blog is a way to generate some buzz about your ebook before your official launch. Your blog gives you the opportunity to get feedback from your readers, so you can learn more about what they want to see in your ebook.
When you promote your ebook this way, you have a chance to offer a pre-launch special offer. Start a mailing list for potential buyers before you’re ready for your actual launch. Come up with an irresistible offer for them. When you are ready to launch your ebook, send an email to these subscribers to let them know it’s available. Since they already signed up as showing interest, many will buy it.
2. Make an ezine out of the information in your ebook. After you have launched and have begun to sell ebooks, think about capitalizing on what you’ve written. One simple way is to use your topic to write a monthly ezine. Write twelve issues or more, and offer the ezine as an additional option for your buyers.
Two options for you are to offer the ezine as an upsell to buyers, or it can even be a new, separate product people subscribe to.
3. Turn your ebook into a series of podcasts. Podcasts (downloadable audio files, often in MP3 format) are appealing to buyers because they don’t need to be sitting at their computer. They can take the audio with them and listen to it while they commute, or while they’re exercising.
Of course if you know how, and don’t mind the process, you can create your podcasts yourself. Or if you’re OK spending some money, you can pay someone to do it for you. Either way, you can increase your income with podcasts.
4. Write a follow-up, advanced version of your ebook. Many buyers are going to want more information than what is in your ebook. So, consider creating an advanced version. This follow-up can be completely new, related information, or it can go into more detail about what was in your first ebook.
As an example, if you sell ebooks on how to diet, the advanced version can be about diet plans, include recipes, etc. Remember, you have a new product. You can sell it separately from the original ebook, or you can offer it as an upsell.
So there you have four ways in which you can make more money from every ebook you write.
Writing ebooks and other information products and selling them online is a great home business. It’s fast, and you can build a consistent high income. Angela offers a free writing tips ezine for you to build your business quickly.
