P.S. If you have budget to purchase an eBay affiliate website builder, I recommend you take a look at “Build A Niche Store”. It’s easy to install and configure, easy to customize and search engine friendly. See for yourself.

An e-book, as defined by Wikipedia, is the digital media equivalent of a conventional printed book. As the Internet becomes more and more popular, the means of acquiring and transmitting information changes drastically. People love to read information from e-books and other digital mediums, as it’s more updated and convenient compared with the conventional printed materials.

Naturally most of us want to find a way to profit from this new trend. If you are one of these people who are looking to make money with ebooks, fortunately you have come to the right place.

There are three basic ways to make money with ebooks. Writing and publishing your own ebooks, selling other people’s ebooks, and both.

Writing and publishing your own ebooks

It’s no doubt that ebook writing is currently one of the most exciting and profitable ways to make money online. It’s not all that difficult as it seems. You don’t have to be an expert on your ebook subject, as most information can be easily found on the Internet and in your local library. You don’t even have to be a good writer as most word processors have grammar and spell checking tools.

Once you decide you want to write your own ebook, the first step is to choose a niche marketing or subject to write about. The more specific you make your ebook, the better it will sell.

Your next step is to complete an outline and table of contents. This will help you to organize your thoughts and ensure that your ebook flows well and keep your readers focused. After you’ve outlined your new ebook, you need to start your research and spend several hours researching the subject you want to write about.

Once the research is completed, you are ready to start writing. Start with a rough draft and then get your friends and family to proof read it. Never do your one proof reading and editing!

After the ebook is written, add some nice graphics and a cover page. Compile the ebook into an ebook format (I suggest pdf) and now you should have a unique and original ebook that you can sell.

Selling other people’s ebooks

It’s an excellent choice for those who enjoy the idea of starting a home based ebook business, but don’t want to write an ebook. You can still make money by selling ebooks written by other people. There are literally thousands of authors out there that need help selling their ebooks.

There are two options for you to sell other people’s ebooks.

1. Reselling ebooks with resale rights

These ebooks come with resale rights, which entitle you to resell them without violating the copyright of the original author. The beauty of this option is that you just pay once for the ebook, sell it for life and keep 100% of the profits.

2. Affiliate marketing

Affiliate Marketing is an agreement between a merchant (the person who wrote and owns the ebook) and you (an affiliate). You agree to use your web sites and blogs to promote the merchant’s ebooks and to link to the merchant’s web site. In exchange for this, the merchant pays you a commission on all sales that were generated by the affiliate web site. A referral occurs when a customer clicks on your product link and makes a purchase.

Writing your own ebooks and selling other people’s ebooks

This is a combination of the two ways mentioned above. Of course, if you can handle both roles, you can certainly make more money. It requires you to be not only good at writing but also skillful in marketing and promotion.

Obviously, this guide is designed to provide you with the basics to get started. Please let us know if you would like any additional information added or feel free to leave a comment below.

Today I want to discuss with you the Double Opt-in and Single Opt-In. It’s always a controversial topic that people are passionate about.

Single Opt-in basically means that someone comes to your opt-in page. They fill in their email address and once they hit the submit button, they are your subscriber. Double Opt-in means that someone fills in their email address and hits the submit button. Typically they’ll be directed to a thank-you page and from there they need to go back to their email and click a link confirming that they want to receive further emails from you.

The controversial part is that people are very passionate that the Single Opt-in is the way to go, and other people say Double Opt-in helps to build a better list and that’s the way to go. Since there is no definite answer and it’s kind of what fits for you, so here I just want to share my story.

I started to build my list with Double Opt-in. People weren’t completing the Opt-in process, which caused me a lot of frustration that I’m losing leads.

Soon I decided to quit Double Opt-in and went with Single Opt-in. And what I found is the list was growing faster. People were opting in and there was no confirmation process. But I noticed that the quality of my list decreased. The interaction was not good, and the feedback was not good. When I sent out emails, I just wasn’t getting the feedback like I did on my first trial with Double Opt-in. Though I wasn’t losing new subscribers because there was no Double Opt-in process, I didn’t feel like I was getting the same level of interaction and relationship building.

So I decided to give it another try and go back to Double Opt-in, but this time I tweak the conversion process. What I mean by that is from the opt-in page, thank-you page and the instruction page for clicking on the confirmation link. I tweak the whole process and what I found was that my opt-in conversion rate just sky-rocketed. And the non opt-in is dramatically less. It’s just pretty powerful.

What I learn from that is to test, tweak the opt-in page and take action. That’s my story. Hope it is helpful for you to choose Double Opt-in or Single Opt-in.

Today I want to discuss with you a simple but highly effective strategy to tremendously boost your affiliate income. That strategy is through product reviews.

People will purchase the products that have been proven to work. With a product review, you have the opportunity to give them the pro’s and con’s of any product. You now build yourself as an expert on that specific area and can provide an informed review to help them make an informed decision, which in turn will generate a much higher conversion rate and produce much more sales for you.

Here are four tips to help you write excellent product reviews.

1. Be honest, don’t try to hype. Tell the truth of the product you are reviewing, otherwise you will destroy your credibility and even your affiliate business.

2. State both the positives and negatives of the product you are reviewing. Leave the choice to the readers if they’ll purchase the product. It’s just too good to be true if you only talk about how good the product is.

3. Explain clearly what the consumer can benefit from the product. Let them know this product can truly solve their problems.

4. Let the readers leave their comments to the product and the review. If the product is of high quality and you’ve done a truthful and excellent review, people will agree with you. That will help you to presell the product.

Product reviews are of great help to increase the conversion rate and boost your affiliate sales and income. I strongly recommend you to take advantage of this strategy right now.
