Ebook Profits - Super-Charge Your Ebook Sales

Want to make a fortune selling ebooks? Success or failure depends on your marketing; let’s see how to make money online with your new ebook.

Here’s a big, valuable tip: start selling your ebook before your write it. Yes, you heard right. Sell FIRST. If you don’t sell first, you can waste a lot of time on projects which fizzle rather than sizzle.

For example, Bob spent six months developing his first ebook. Then he spent another three months getting his Web site up and running. Finally he was ready to launch the product, and in his first week he made three sales.

While three sales is a good start, it was a long way from the 100-plus sales a week Bob envisioned.

Here’s how to super-charge your ebook sales, so every ebook you launch is a roaring success.

1. Research, Research, Research!

Research is the key to success with any ebook, and it’s easy online, so all you need to do is actually DO IT.

For example, if he’d spent even five minutes on research Bob would know that his ebook was entering a very crowded marketplace. There were many other ebooks on the topic he chose, and they sold well - people were spending big money on Pay Per Click (PPC) ads, which is always a sign of a hot topic.

Since people were making money with this topic, Bob would be able to do so as well, as long as he managed to differentiate his product from the others.

Bob vaguely understood that Topic X was hot, but that was all. He should have purchased the competing products, and studied them to see where there was a hole in the market. No product is perfect, so Bob could have capitalized on his competition, with sales lines like: “What Product X Won’t Tell You About _______” He had readymade marketing hooks, if only he’d researched.

Here’s an easy way to research - create a blog.

2. Talk to Your Customers

A blog lets you talk to your prospective customers. They’ll tell you what they want to buy. With your customer’s help, you can make your ebook a guaranteed top seller before a word is written.

3. Make Your Customers Feel Special

Not only will your prospects tell you what they want, they’ll also turn into customers, and will help you to market your ebook.

Everyone wants to belong, and even if your blog just gets 300 visitors a week, you’ll not only have input, you’ll also have customers who will buy from you.

Taking your customers into your confidence makes them feel special - you have a relationship with them. Some will even turn into evangelists for your product.

4. Turn Your Customers Into Keen Evangelists

Bloggers help other bloggers, so you’ll find that you’ll get links and comments from the blogosphere which will generate buzz for your ebook, long before it comes out.

When it’s close to launch day, send out early copies to your blogging friends. Every review you get is valuable, and will result in sales.

Many of your blog’s readers will buy your ebook as soon as it appears, and some will turn into evangelists, recommending it to your friends. If you want to use affiliate marketing, they will become your first affiliates.

So in a nutshell, remember that sales come first. Sell first, then create the ebook, and you can’t help but create bestsellers.
