If you have been selling ebooks with resell rights on eBay for some time, then it is likely that you adopt a method similar to many ebook sellers. You source cheap or free ebooks with resell rights and then resell these in your eBay store.

Now there is nothing wrong with this method. It means that obtaining the ebooks is cheap or even free, you don’t have to spend time creating a product and a lot of the time you even get a ready made sales page and download page. For next to no money, you have a digital product that can be sold again and again, for very little effort. I used to rely solely on this method when reselling ebooks on eBay and achieved reasonable success with it. I even wrote a newsletter article last year on sourcing free ebooks that can be resold on eBay. To this day I still resell other people’s ebooks in my eBay store. However, the difference is that I now also create and sell my own resaleable ebooks.

Now you may be thinking; ‘Why would you want to go to all the time and effort of creating your own resaleable ebooks, which are likely to depreciate in value very quickly? Surely it is much more time and cost effective to resell ebooks that are already available with resell rights?’  If these are your thoughts then you are thinking about resaleable ebooks in the wrong way. Let me put it into perspective and hopefully change your thinking on the issue with the example below.

Let’s say for this example you are selling your own ebook and someone else’s ebook, both for £1.99 in your eBay store. Now when you sell someone else’s ebook you make £1.99 which is all well and good. However, when you sell your own resaleable ebook you make £1.99 from the sale AND after the sale you have the potential for much more. What potential you may be asking? Well let me explain below just what your own resaleable ebook can do for you.

1) Promote: - Your own ebook can be a very valuable promotional tool for your eBay store, your website or whatever else you want to promote. If you want to promote your eBay store simply write a little note such as “brought to you by http://stores.ebay.co.uk/YOUREBAYSTORE.” Or you could even write a small paragraph about your eBay store, what it sells etc, and then provide a link to it if people want to find out more. If you have your own website, write an ebook that contains similar content and of course provide a link to your website somewhere within the ebook.

As you continue to sell your ebook with resell rights, some of your customers will also start to sell it and eventually their customers will sell it too. As time goes by your ebook will continue to be distributed, creating an increasing amount of traffic - your very own viral traffic tool. The more your ebook is distributed, the greater the potential for traffic to your eBay store/website.

2) Sell your Premium Product: - If you have a premium ebook then resaleable ebooks can be used to sell it. For example, if you have a cooking recipes ebook that you have wrote containing 1000 recipes this could be your premium ebook. You could then use 10 or 20 of these recipes to create a resaleable ebook. At the end of this resaleable ebook you could leave a note such as “Want to get 1000 recipes just like this? Then Click Here” The Click Here will link to your premium ebook. If people like the recipes in your premium ebook then they are likely to go on and purchase the full 1000 recipe premium ebook.

As before the same principles apply, and as time goes by your resaleable ebook gets seen by an increasing number of readers and should generate an increasing amount of sales. Obviously, the above recipe ebook is just an example. The principles above can be applied to almost any product/genre, allowing you to use your resaleable ebook to promote and sell a premium product.

3) Sell an Affiliate Product: - If you don’t have your own premium product then the same principles from above can be used to sell a product as an affiliate. An affiliate (if you do not know) is someone who sells a product in exchange for a commission on the sale. The one thing I would recommend if you are selling products as an affiliate is to make sure that you have sampled the product before you promote it.

If you are looking for a premium ebook to promote as an affiliate then Clickbank is a good place to start. It has ebooks on almost every topic you can imagine and the commissions are as generous as 75% in some cases. All you have to do is sign up and then generate affiliate links (through Clickbank) to promote each product. If buyers click and buy through your link, you will get a commission on the sale.

I hope this article has shown you the potential creating your own resaleable ebook provides. Whereas someone else’s resaleable ebook can bring sales revenue, your own resaleable ebook can bring these plus additional sales of your premium products, extra traffic, affiliate commissions and valuable leads. I am not suggesting that you cease to sell other people’s resaleable ebooks. In fact other people’s resaleable ebooks probably still comprise the majority of my eBay store inventory. However, even one or two of your own resaleable ebooks can make a huge difference.

People everywhere are working as hard as they can to make money. The real problem is that not a lot of people know about how to make money online. The sad this is, it’s really easy but people just aren’t willing to put in the time and effort necessary to reach their potential. You can make money; you just have to really want it enough to work for it. If you aren’t (although most are) afraid of work then there is a never ending supply of ways to earn cash.

When I was young I was always trying to think of both ways to earn cash in the real world and come up with online home business ideas. I remember selling pumpkins at Halloween. It never made me much (or really any) money but I still enjoyed counting my dollars. I also sold lemonade even though my road is in the country so there is like 1 car an hour and no one ever walks by.  When I really think of why I bother telling you that I guess the point is that work doesn’t come easily. It’s not a sprint, but a process you need to continue forever. If you are willing to do all the tuff you need to do then it isn’t that hard to be successful. With it being so easy (as long as you don’t mind doing some reading) I don’t know why more people don’t do it.

I guess if people want some advice I could give them some free home business tips. Hey there’s enough money to go around for all of us. So I guess the basic things that I would tell people is to read everything you can. There is a lot of information out there you just need to go looking for it. People need to remember though that when they do read to not just accecpt it all as true. That’s important because there are a lot of people who want to sell you their own junk and make a buck. When you read you should be searching for something that can match your lifestyle. Look for people who don’t just sound like they know what they are doing, but people who have actually put their ideas into practice and made money.

You can be sure of one thing, there is money to be mae on the internet. If you seek you shall find. Put in the work necessary and you can really supplement your income easily, or even make an income totally from home. I know it has been a big plus for me. If I can make money then so can you. I really am so glad that everything worked out for the very best resolution possible.

resell ebooks
SUMIT JOHN asked:


The spiraling Ebay fees and competitive pricing, the last thing Ebay Ebook sellers want to worry about is buying new resell able content. However, there are many sources that you may not have thought about which provide you with free resell able EBooks that you can profitably add to your inventory. This article details just a few of them.

1) Ebay:- That’s right eBay is a great source to pick up free eBooks (OK they’re not quite free but very cheap). Many eBook sellers run auctions that start at 1p to attract customers. If nobody bids on these auctions you can pick up a very cheap resell able EBook.

Furthermore, several sellers run 1p EBook listings in their EBay store. That means that you can actually purchase the item as a Buy It Now for 1p and in some cases receive it instantly. Again another way to pick up a very cheap resells able EBook, courtesy of eBay. Do a search on eBay for “EBooks, resell” or something similar, and then list them lowest priced first to see what you find.

2) Newsletters: - When you signed up for this newsletter I gave you two free EBooks. Some newsletters that I am currently a member of give me 5 free eBooks every week. I would recommend joining EBook related newsletters as not only do you receive valuable tips from that EBook seller, you also get free products to add to your EBay store. Have a browse through Ebay for the top EBook sellers. If they have newsletters join it. It costs nothing and you are likely to benefit greatly.

3) Ebooks: - Usually when you buy a new eBook it contains links to many bonus eBooks with resell rights. Although you may have to pay for the first eBook, this is another way to get a plentiful collection of free resell able eBooks.

4) Online Forums: - Many users at online forums will give away free resell able eBooks or give away links that allow you to access free eBooks with resell rights. Just have a browse through the posts and see what you can find.

5) Ebook Websites: - Many websites that sell eBooks have a free download page. From this you can download free eBooks which quite often come with resell rights. Type “resell eBooks” into Google or any other major search engines, and have a browse through these websites. I am sure you will find more than enough eBooks to keep you going for a while.

Although free eBooks with resell rights are likely to be outdated in relation to the ones you pay for they are still a good way to bulk up your inventory at relatively little cost. The larger your store inventory is as an eBook seller, the more chance that you will get a sale. If you bulk up your inventory with free resell able eBooks which you then sell alongside the more expensive, up to date, resell able eBooks you are sure to enjoy increased success. Good Luck with your Ebook Sales!!!

My First E-book Venture Online

Lumia Laser effects

I finally wrote my first E-book entitled ” RGB Laser Projector Design Guide ” and launched it on April 24/09. I also promoted my new E-book on a forum I belong to  called Photonlexicon. I also uploaded a video on Youtube  to show what a Laser projector can do using a Lumia wheel and it’s been viewed 60 times in 6 days.

My hobby of laser entertainment started over 10 years ago. I was always interested in technology and lasers so learning was easy and .I learned a thing or two about lasers by owning and caring for everything from large, power hungry, water cooled, hernia generating,White light Ion gas lasers, to solid state, RGB portable DPSS lasers . I have designed and built many laser projectors in over 10 years, so have some measure of expertise and experience. I decided to compile information on how to design and build your own laser projector into a convenient digital format E-book.

It’s been a week since my new E-book was released and things are looking good. I checked Google for fun and did a search for ” RGB Laser Projector Design Guide ” and I found my link at the top of the first page ,#1 in organic rankings, Woohoo !….

In only a week I made it to the top of the SEO rankings of Google , made 4 sales and have had 50 people (from 12 countries) download my free Lumia wheel making instructions. The results are impressive enough to continue ,it took a lot of hard work, but it was a satisfying experience.

Now that my E-book is completed and launched, comes the learning curve of marketing the product to a larger audience using social media sites. The learning curve was steep but the results were worth it. I recommend to anyone who has an area of expertise and a passion for their hobby to write an E-book and monetize it. It’s a satisfying and rewarding process.

Most of the principles recognizable in regular marketing treaties get to be applied in the development and the optimization of a business for the presence on the electronic market. Advertising makes one such element that influences the evolution of a business in a positive or negative direction. For an advertising business, Internet marketing consists of finding clients that need to become more than just visible online. Experienced agencies and companies now promote a variety of services meant to increase the traffic of the website and the amount of transactions performed by visitors. As it is normal, a larger number of strategies will focus on site promotion in the first place.

From the view point of an advertising business, Internet marketing will be approached and treated differently than it is by the regular business owner who mainly focus on pushing the product/service ahead. All the search engine optimization techniques, the creation of targeted ads, the selection of a pay-per-click engine to work with, the increase of the traffic rank by the creation of valuable friendly links or the regular updating of the site content make just a few of the common operations that have to be professionally performed and monitored in order for a business to be successful online.

The work tools that an advertising business Internet marketing company uses are also relevant for the quality of the results. What is the secret for the success of so many Internet marketing companies? Well, in fact they rely on the same marketing principles that they will eventually apply to your business for development. A first stage in the market approach is targeting and then they create an offer that is hard to refuse in the conditions of the tough online competition. They’ll advertise heavily insisting on how they help one build strategies after the close study of the other competitors, stressing out the modern approach to advertising and so on .

Warnings are anything but few in relation with some illegal activities and companies in the advertising business. Internet marketing is often used as a camouflage for illegal activities that could cost the naive small business owner dearly, should he/she be duped into signing some disadvantageous contract. Therefore, make sure to choose well and wisely from the many agencies that recommend themselves as the right solutions for business growth.
