Do ebooks sell?
Despite what you may be told, the answer is and
always will be 'yes'.
People have and always will be prepared to pay for
information in ebook format.
You see, one of the strongest human desires is to
learn, to be educated and to better ourselves, no
matter what the subject is. It could be ...
To live longer and healthier, to be a better parent,
partner or lover, to raise children well, to earn more
money, to work fewer hours or to own a nicer home or
faster car, maybe play a sport better or even just
bake tastier cakes, everyone wants information and
nearly all would be prepared to pay for it.
Ebooks have become desirable because of their
instant nature. Once ordered, all the info I need is
downloaded onto my PC. No hassle, no waiting,
no fuss. Instant gratification.
Have you bought an ebook online before?
If yes, that's the proof it works.
As an "InfoPublisher" you can earn a substantial
income and put in far less hours than the average
person working the 9 to 5 treadmill by selling
ebooks. You can fit in work time when it is
convenient and from the comfort of your own home.
Alternatively you can put the knowledge here to
work for only a couple of hours each week and
you can still make a healthy second income
(If you want to keep your job). How hard you
work and how much you make is up to you.
But nothing comes for free. . .
YOU MUST BE PREPARED TO LEARN AND THEN
TO PUT INTO PRACTICE - IF YOU DO YOU WILL
BE SUCCESSFUL, IF YOU DON'T YOU WILL FAIL.
I cannot express this strongly enough, you would
be amazed at just how many people FAIL simply
because they do not take action.
What Type Of eBook Will People Buy?
The answer is simple - almost any type as long as
it offers a solution to a problem.
There are thousands of people interested in
thousands of topics the secret is: Discover a
need, target the market and feed it.
What Is Your eBook's USP?
If you're scratching your head, you're not alone
because many authors couldn't tell you what's a USP.
An ebook's Unique Selling Proposition (USP) is a
single, unique benefit that makes your ebook
stand out from your competitors. Even before you
start to add any words to your ebook, you must
establish what it is.
It should influence everything you write.
It should be the one unique strength or
advantage you and only you deliver because
there are tons of other ebooks with the same
topic as you have.
All the best to your ebook business.

GRATIFICATION
As always, Patric, excellent information. Determining the USP of anything has always been my hardest thing to sort out. It is something that needs to be taught, I think. Most of us can't really LOOK at something and say, this is the usp of this item, because we either don't know the item well, or we know it too well.
For instance, I have a short ebook on teaching your dog a specific trick. Well, that's its usp, but I'm not totally sure how to market it at this point, because I know there are others out there that can teach the same thing, maybe even better.
Another thing I'm battling with, how does one determine the price of such an item? I'm fluctuating between free and, say, $9.95, and also thinking of putting it on eBay and see if it sells and what price it brings. Sort of a marketing test, if you will. ;-)
Anyway, off that tangent. Appreciate the great info.
That is just amazing Patric! This is so true and to the point. Its good to know that in a simple blog notes you have told me what I needed to know.
I wasn't sure if ebooks are still something I could sell. Now I have a better idea of what I need to be looking for.
Thanks Patric!

Some great points in your post Patric. Ebooks do sell and will sell. I'm always buying ebooks on topics that address issues I'm going through...instant gratification is a big driver.
I think the biggest problem most people have with creating there own ebooks, is not that they don't have topics they can write on. It's staying motivated over a period of time, to see the project (ebook in this case) through to completion.
Take Care Patric!

I've found that for myself creating sites like, Portable DVD Players Review, work well for me. I simply try to provide quality information that people look for and the money takes care of itself.
Hi Patric,
Again, you are so right. I have a friend who just shakes her head in amazement when she sees the orders come in for an ebook on housecleaning. My ebooks simply deal with everyday mundane problems that people face. But people really do struggle with things like how to eat healthy foods that taste good and they will enjoy and are fast to prepare, and keeping the house clean. It's everyday stuff - but people struggle with it.
Thanks as always for your informative blog!
