* eBook of the Month. Download it FREE! Why Sell eBooks?
eBooks, (Electronic Books) are probably one of the best selling items on eBay.They can be downloaded and read on your PC.
They cost nothing to deliver, your not rushing to the post box or post
office every day. You can even have them deliver themselves.
You have a worldwide audience and you can sell endless items on
almost any subject.1000s and 1000s of E-Books are sold every hour on eBay
and I am going to show you how to join 100s of sellers and start to
make a real income from selling them.
If you do a worldwide search for ‘ebook’ or ‘e-book’ on eBay you will
probably see well over 5000 results. And a lot of E-Books don’t even
have the word ‘ebook’ in the title. I would imagine at any given time
there will be about 30,000 E-Books for sale on eBay.
Basically, E-Books are everywhere, you probably have a few right now on your PC. You can also sell ebooks on cd for those customers that want to
save their space on their hard drives… What you will need!1, I imagine you will already have an eBay account but if your new to

2, Some webspace and a domain name. (not essential but highly
recommended)
3, A pop3 email account.
4, WinZip.
5, Adobe acrobat reader.
6, eBay turbo lister.
7, eBay selling manager.
8, A PayPal account.2. Webspace.

Get some webspace. You will find things much easier if you have some webspace and upload all your E-Books in zip format. Then all you need to do is send out emails to the winning buyer and provide the link so they can download the E-Book straight from your webspace.

Of course you could send out the E-Books as attachments but I would strongly advise against this for the following reasons.
1, Some people don’t know how to open an attachment.
2, Some people are worried about viruses contained in attachments.
3, Some email clients prevent attachments from being opened.
4, Your outbox will be constantly full because of the size of the emails
your sending.
5, Your customers inbox may be full and they will not receive your
E-Book.
6, You could get blamed for a virus someone receives.You should have some free webspace provided with your internet service provider. If your not sure ask them and get your web address (url) from them.
Check the link below for more details.Your probably thinking why bother, well the reason is simple.
Imagine sending out a download link? Which looks the most professional?www.e-booksdownload/ebook1.zip

or

www.myinternetserviceproviderswebspaceaddress.

whoevertheyare/myusername/ebook1.zip The first one is my webspace and I’m sure you will agree it looks more professional.
The second one is made up but it will look something like that.
Remember, your trying to bring customers back so the more professional you look the better.
You could also set up your own E-Book store and send out this link to
your customers.
You could maybe offer a bulk package or discounts compared to your eBay
store.Put all your zipped E-Books in a folder called ebooks and simply upload
the whole folder.
See your web host for instructions on how to upload as they all differ,most will provide free software to upload.
Now lets say I have an E-book called hypnosis.This E-Book will be at the location www.e-booksdownload.com/download/hypnosis.zipThat would be the link I send out to my customer. Much better than
sending an attachment.

3, A pop3 email account.

If you want to set up auto delivery you will need a pop3 email account to use with outlook express.

Again, you may have one free with your Internet Service Provider.
You can also get many free pop3 accounts. Just do a search on google. 4, WinZip.You will need WinZip to zip up (compress) your E-Books. This reduces space on your server (webspace) and speeds up download times.
You may already have this installed on your PC.
If not visit www.winzip.com to download it free. Don’t worry about
the trial period, once it runs out it still works fine. 5, Adobe acrobat reader.Loads of E-Books are in PDF format. You will need acrobat reader to view them.
Download it free from www.adobe.com6, eBay Turbo Lister.

With this clever tool you can upload 100s of items to eBay in minutes.
Download it free from eBay.

7, Selling manager Pro.

This is a subscription based service eBay provides. If your selling loads of items it can take care of invoices, feedback, feedback reminders, auto relisting and a whole lot more.

This saves hours a week and is worth the small Monthly fee eBay charge. Check eBay for details. 8, A PayPal account.You must have a PayPal account, without one you will get nowhere, you also need one to set up auto delivery of your E-Books. visit www.paypal.com for details.
Listing tips. Choosing the title.Your title is crucial as this is what gets a potential customer to view what you are selling. You could be selling the bargain of the decade but if no one clicks on your title you wont make a penny.
Try to keep your title relevant to the product your selling. Also experiment with different titles till you find a winning formula.
Lets say we are selling an E-Book on hypnotism.Which title appeals to you the most?1. E-Book on hypnotism. Find out more.
2. E-Book. Discover hypnosis.
3. Hypnosis, the secrets revealed. Ultimate guide.

I am hoping you have chosen number 3. If you did there will probably have been 3 keywords that attracted you to it.

Secrets, Revealed, UltimatePeople love to find out ’secrets’ you will see this word a lot on eBay.
The 2 words together, ’secrets revealed’ makes the visitor
want to click on your title to find out more. You should also capitalize certain words to draw the visitor in.
Something like.Hypnosis, the SECRETS REVEALED. Ultimate guide.Notice how you look straight at SECRETS REVEALED. As E-Books usuallyprovide ’secret info’ you can use this method a lot.

There are many other words you can use to draw visitors to click on your
title such as:-Amazing, fantastic, rare, best on eBay, mint, make money, resell,
resale, superb, complete guide. There are many more. Try browsing eBay
and looking at what words the big sellers use.
These words work best capitalized, but don’t make the whole title
capitalized as this won’t draw visitors to your keywords. Also, make sure you use as many of the characters allowed in your
title as possible.
