Make Money Online Selling Ebooks

Posted on October 11, 2008 12:59 AM by Joel Comm

Just because the economy is suffering doesn't mean you have to.

Thousands of people are supplementing their income by learning how to make money online selling ebooks.

I've been selling my own ebooks for a few years.

But I've been selling OTHER peoples' ebooks for a decade!

How do you find out what ebooks sell?

ClickBank.com is still the best place to find ebooks that you can sell through your website or mailing list.

They have a massive inventory of ebooks on just about every topic under the sun. By linking to the ebooks through a special link provided by Clickbank, you can earn a commission for each sale that results.

Do you have a website about animals?

You can sell an ebook on teaching your parrot how to talk.

Are you concerned with the economy and frustrated with high gas prices? Others are too! Why not promote a book that teaches people how to run a car on water.

And not all products on Clickbank are ebooks. They also have useful software products.

Does your site talk about tech issues? Your visitors might be interested in downloading a registry cleaner.

Yes, there are many ways to make money online selling ebooks. Check out Clickbank and examine the opportunities.

    I've been wanting to try Clickbank since I started following your blog. the problem is that Clickbank doesn't support our country, Philippines. I tried signing-up before but I can't find my country on their drop-down menu. Do you have any idea why our country is not supported?

    I have yet to get a cent from ClickBank despite promoting digital products I found there. I guess my affiliate links had been replaced and my commission robbed.

  3. Joel Perez Says:

    Click Bank has been feeding me for about a year now...

    I advertise the useful information that the E-books provide on Craigslist...

    There is something for everybody.

    All I do is provide Value to Many...

    And love those commission checks...

    I been using them for about 1 year. Tried the adwords route with it and flopped big time. I have moved to more passive methods and still occasionally get a check, but nothing to exciting. Just one of my many revenue streams.

  5. Harjit Irani Says:

    I have been selling ebooks from my website. I haven't got wealthy but every trickling cent helps.

  6. Home Biss Says:

    It's not easy to sell intangible products at the moment, people are scared to spend money and everybody is more interested in saving money. I should know since my AdWords campaigns (promoting Clickbank products) have been going the drain lately, much to the delight of Google.

    I would rather sell tangible products right now, sell things that people can feel and touch physically.

  7. DTanner Says:

    I have been reading How to use click banks how to make money by financial products by Joel comm. This post along with that ebook is very helpful in setting up another stream of income.

  8. German Romance Says:

  9. Tax Tips Says:

    Most of my friends say that they've had better luck with building websites for Adsense and other ad programs than selling e-products, but I think it all boils down to the strategy.

    Hi marghil,
    sorry to hear that even Phillipines is not listed with clickbank. I am from Tanzania and also my country is not listed with clickbank,but i am using this technique to go around that.I have trusted friends from other countries that are listed with clickbank,so what i did is,i asked one of my trusted friend who is in Poland to give me his address,and i used that to register with clickbank but using my name,then when clickbank sends the cheque to that address,i ask him to send me the cheques to my address here in Tanzania.It works like a charm.
    I did a blog post on what to do if your country is not accepted with clickbank,there are other ways if you don't have a trusted friend in other listed countries with clickbank,visit my blog by clicking my name.
    I hope this helps.
    Cheers.

    Selling ebooks can be a good income stream and the commission can be quite high with Clickbank.However, I recommend making your own ebook and selling it from a blog instead.You get to keep 100% of the income and you can earn from adsense at the same time.

    I recently launched my own niche blog about coin collecting and selling my own ebook and monetizing with adsense, here“s the link if you are interested:
    http://coincollectingpennies.com

    Besides, all it takes is setting it up ones properly, marketing it with articles for a month, and it will take care of it self and the best part is that it is 100% automated.
