One of
the quickest ways of making money online is selling information products.
Information products include books, eBooks, and Instructional CDs/DVDs – written,
audio, and video.
In this
information age, people are looking for products that teach knowledge and skill
they want to acquire. It is true that on the internet one can find the information
one is looking for- free of charge. But the question is: How many people are
willing to spend hours on the internet looking for the right information they
need?
That is
why information products still sell on the internet. People will readily buy
the information they need online rather than spend some hours browsing the web
for the free information which they may not find easily.
So, if
you can package knowledge and skill, you can actually market them online. There
are thousands and even millions of people online who are desirous of buying information
product dealing with the knowledge and skill they want to acquire.
How to Write
If you
can read and write, you can definitely package your knowledge and skill into a
product. You don’t need to go to writing school or attend a special training
before you can write.
The
important thing is being able put your thought into writing. If you can write
simple and correct English language, you can actually package an information
product. You need not be a degree holder.
When
writing, you need to however keep making corrections. You need to edit and
proofread your work. Better still, you may need a professional proofreader that
will put finishing touches to your eBook. When your eBook is error-free, it
will enhance its marketability. You can get quality proofreading service from
my blog, www.proproofreadingcentre.wordpress.com at an affordable fee.
What to Write
You can write on any subject you know very well.
You can write on the knowledge and skill you have acquired over the years.
There is the saying that you cannot give what you don’t have. It is what you
know that you can write and talk about. So, start with what you know.
On the
other hand, if you know of a subject or a topic people are looking for, you can
go online and research on it. Even if you don’t know it, but you can research,
you can definitely package a bestselling eBook.
In the
same vein, if you have written and posted many articles on your website/blog,
you can select from them and package them as an eBook. If the articles are
original and render genuine value, people would not hesitate to buy.
Why EBook?
In this
information age, eBook is becoming more popular. Those who have computers now
find it convenient buying and reading eBooks; while others buy eBooks online
and print them out.
Here are
some merits of being an eBook writer:
- It is very easy to create eBooks. If you can read and write simple English language, you can package a hot selling eBook.
- It is cheap to create eBooks. You don’t need to pay printing cost. If you have a personal computer, you may not pay a typesetter to have your eBook typed. You can do that by yourself. Once you have finished typing your eBook, and you have edited and proofread it, it is ready for sale. You sell your eBook in the format in which you typed it (MS Word) or you can convert it to PDF format (Adobe PDF or other PDF format). There are free softwares you can use to convert your eBook to PDF format. Go to openoffice.org to download the software, or head to createpdf.adobe.com to convert your eBook to PDF format.
- Another benefit of being an eBook writer is that you don’t need storage facility for your eBook. Every eBook you write and save in your computer remains there. Any time a buyer buys a copy, he downloads it from your website/blog or you send them a copy via email attachment.
- Again, once your eBook is ready, people from all over the world can obtain copies immediately. No courier service, no delay.
There are
basically two ways you can set up your blog. You can use free blog or you can
go for paid blog.
1. Free Blog
A free
blog is one you don’t pay for domain name and web hosting to set it up. The
platform you are using does that for you free. You only go to their portal
(website) and set up your blog.
2. Paid Blog
Paid blog
is one in which you pay for domain name and hosting before you set up your
blog. Setting
up a blog is simple, but like any other skill, it is better to learn it from an
expert than to plunge into it and try to learn it by trial and error. You need
to devote few hours to learn it and thereafter, you can design your own blog
yourself.
On the
other hand, you can hire a blog design expert to design one for you. Unlike
website design, blog design doesn’t take time to learn.

Write a Compelling Sales Letter
Once you
have set up the blog you will use in selling your eBook, you will need to
write a
compelling sales letter. A sales letter is a kind of letter that is cogent,
convincing, and compelling, which is aimed at helping the prospects see reason they
should order your eBook immediately.
To be
effective, your sales letter must explain point-by-point, the benefits your
readers stand to gain from your eBook.
Means of Payment
The means by
which prospects pay for your eBook should be included at the end or towards the
end of your news letter. For prospect
living in your country, you can simply ask them to pay into your savings
account.
For other
prospects worldwide, you may have to automate your blog with some online
payment service providers. Paypal, for instance, is a popular online payment
service provider, but unfortunately, their services are restricted to some
countries. There are other means by which prospects can pay you to order your
eBook. They include ATM, Master card, credit card, Visa card, Liberty Reserve, etc.
Advertise
After
setting up your blog and posting your sales letter on your blog, you need to
start advertising. Advertise your eBook and ask prospects to visit your blog to
order.
You don’t need
huge budget to advertise your eBook. You can start Classified Adverts in
national dailies and periodicals. You pay very little for classified ad, yet
the ad is very effective when properly written.
Other ways
you can promote your eBook include article writing and submission to article
directories online, online forum participation, and social networking sites (Facebook,
Twitter, etc). In any of these ways, you don’t advertise outrightly; but you
offer GENUINE VALUE in your contribution and you put your URL (blog) at the end
of your writing. This would enable people who appreciate your contributions to
click and visit your blog.
When they
visit your blog, they will find your sales letter and read it. If your sales
letter is compelling enough, then rest assured you will make sales.
