Hi Elizabeth,
I believe I can be of some good help with how to sell ebooks.
You will not have to sell ebooks for a $1.99 if you use my methodology..
Rather, I will teach you the ultimate way to sell ebooks..
I have been using this method for information products for about 5 years now.. I have done it since the beginning and have perfected it..
I have done it mainly with software and printed information products, but it works the EXACT same with digital information products..
Here is an example of one of my products that I sell in this manner:
The above link shows the history of my 150" TV Projector kit sales for the last two weeks approximately.
Notice, they are all category featured. This costs about $20 bucks.
Notice they all are dutch auctions. Notice the slight difference in sales pitch and titles on each and also the variety of categories.
Basically, I started with one auction, did some test runs at the top of the page, got it to where I was selling 8 or more on the auction, and started a new auction, in a different category for the same product. Then, I continued to branch off with new titles and new categories and even started selling in other countries on ebay (ebay.ca, ebay.com.au, ebay.co.uk).
So, now I have 10 auctions up, all of them selling about 8+ items per auction at $15 each. Thats about $120+ per auction. My costs are about $30 + $3.28 per item, or in the case of 8 sales, $54 total costs. So, I make $120 - $54 = $66 minimum per auction.
Of course, if I have a really good auction, where I sell 16, which happens often, I make $240. The costs are $30 + $3.28 per item, or in the case of 16 sales, $83 total. So, $240 - $83 = $157 profit.
NOW, I have 10 of these auctions up at a time and they are usually up about 7 days.. So, everyday, I have about 1.3 auctions ending.. If I sell say 9 average, that is 12 sales per day or $180 in sales. And, the cost would be about $30 x 1.3 + $3.28 x 12 = $77 in costs.. Or, about $103 profit a day..
I built this starting with one auction and when I had it going good, I started another in another category, and when that was going good, I continued on.. At one time, I had 14 of these going at once, but now, I have cut out the weak ones and just have 10 solid auctions..
THE VERY SAME THING CAN BE DONE WITH A SOLID EBOOK, IF
MARKETED WELL.
I have made about $75,000 profit selling this ONE product over the last 3 years.. About $150,000 to $200,000 in sales..
One INFO product made me that much money, because of how I marketed it..
Its not the product either, its MAINLY the techique I discuss here.. It is a compact list, so if you need help on many steps, just ask. I can explain how to do every step in detail:
STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS ON TAKING ANY INFORMATION PRODUCT TO MAKING KILLER PROFIT:
1. Basically, you make an ad description for the eBook. I generally find those who are selling a similar eBook and are making the most money out of all those selling that particular topic of ebook. I do this at a link like this:
I analyze those who are selling this type of eBook and find the seller making the most money.. I believe I already showed you who this was (hawaiian guy), but there are also many other good examples.. See the link above and do the research a bit..
2. Then, you make your ad in a very similar manner taking the good attributes from the top ads that sell already on eBay.. Think about what of the attributes would seem most appealing to your customers..
3. You make titles that are similar to the titles of the top sellers.. Make sure to get in the relevant keywords..
4. Next, you put up an auction in a normal manner.. NOT at the top of the page.. Just a normal auction or buy it now.. Costs maybe $1+.
5. Put up a few auctions like this.. Its a bit slow at this stage, but look at it as perfecting your ad. All you want to do is make sure you can sell on 40% of the auctions.. If you can do this, then your ad and title is solid. Make sure the price is solid, like $7.95 or $9.95.
6. THEN, after you have gotten some sales, confirmed it sells 40% of the time, THEN, you can put it up at the top of the page in Featured manner. This will make the process less expensive, as you did your testing on the slower, lower priced regular auctions..
7. NOW you are doing some testing at the featured level. It might already preform good as you tested at the lower levels, but this is a different way to sell, so you might have to do some testing to make sure you are getting the sales.. At the top of the page you will want to be doing dutch auctions and trying to sell 8 or more per auction..
8. ONCE you have proof it is selling 8 or more and going good, THEN, you branch out into other categories, using other titles, and putting the auctions on different days. This capitalizes the area on eBay so you can max out what you make..
This is where you are at a level where you can make $50 bucks a day..
Takes a while, but I already have several products at this level. Make take even two months to do all of this, BUT IN THE END, it is worth it.
Why
is it worth it?
Do the math.. $50 a day x 3 years.. Thats $50,000.. I think testing and patience is worth $50,000.
I have made that much off some of my auctions like this.. I have probably made $150,000 to $200,000 in sales off the TV Projector info kit I sell. It followed the same pattern in selling..

Hello.
Considering I have to make money before I can afford to spend anymore, the ebooks you offer for free to sell on your website is all I could afford right now. However, I am interested in selling ebooks and
small accessories.
I appreciate you getting with me and helping me get a better income. Thank you and any tips you may have on selling these ebooks would help. For some reason, no matter what I put the price at, ebayers do not seem interested in them, hence no sales.
Any pointers would help and thank you.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth

Hi Elizabeth,
Hope you had a good weekend. I had a pretty good one visiting relatives..
Can you write me back with some of your ideas you where thinking about for ebay, or atleast can you tell me some of your interests/hobbies?
Once I know what you are interested in selling
online, I can coach you on how to get your sales up and running..
I know many sources for selling a wide variety of product and I have also developed several systems for selling all types of product.
For instance, if you wanted to sell a service, or maybe domain names, or ebooks, or name brand product that you see in chain stores, or small accessories and electronics, I know how to market and find sources for all of these type of sales..
So, get back with me here and we can initiate the coaching from there..
Sincerely
Tony

you and I look forward to your response.
