Hi

Many of you have seen ebooks online but the question that may haunt you is,” How do I create an ebook of my own and make money?”

Well there are various ways to do this:

1) Write one yourself. Great for those of you who are good at writing and editing.

2) Hire someone to write one for you.

Here are a few top notch sites where you can go to hire writers, graphic designers, web designers and more for a lot less than what most firms charge you:

Now here is a method that you can use whether you write the book yourself or hire someone else to do so:

1) Make an outline of what you want to include in the book.

2) Jot down some notes for each chapter.

3) Specify how long this project will take and set deadlines.

After your book is written have it converted to pdf format.

Here is a great free site that allows you to create pdf documents and edit pdf documents so that you can create your ebook: http://www.cutepdf.com/

When you are ready to sell your ebook, there are various sites where you can post it:

http://www.createspace.com - they are affiliated with amazon.com, plus no set up fees, no minimum orders and you retain the rights to your work

Hi all

Hiring the right web site designer is crucial if you do not have the time and energy to do it yourself. There are questions that you need to ask before hiring him or her like. Here are a few:
1) How much experience do you have?
2) What programming languages do you know?
3) Do you use flash in your sites?
4) Is search engine optimization included in the price? ( this one is VERY important)
5) Will you show me a mock up before you begin building?
6) How many revisions do I get?

There is one site that I hire almost all of my coders from because they allow the clients to rank the coders and give feedback. They also allow you to specify your budget ahead of time so that only coders willing to meet that budget apply. Here is the link:

When choosing a web designer on this site:

1) Look at their ranking.

2) Look at the bid price.

3) Choose the coder with the highest ranking and the best price. It is that simple.

Building a website should be the least of your concerns. 90% of your efforts should be in marketing your site and your products. The rest, to the extent of your budget, should be left to the experts.

Hi all

Ok so you have a general idea of what niche you want to be in by now so the next question is what items to sell online. You fortunately have many options:

1) hard goods - these would be something like shoes, a car, a boat - some physical item that you could sell online

Pros - If you buy them wholesale you can make a much greater profit or you could sign up for an affiliate program and sell other people’s products, while earning a commission.

Cons - You have to deal with mailing and possible returns. You will also need your own shopping cart if you are directly selling these items as opposed to joining an affiliate program.

2) You can sell digital products like ebooks, mp3 files, online videos, webinars, etc…

Pros - no physical product to ship

Cons - Unless you are selling through someone else’s affiliate program you will be responsible for product development, and credit card processing.

3) Affiliate programs - these are products that others have created. You put these links on your site and anytime someone makes an actual purchase you get a pre-determined percentage.

There are benefits to all three of these methods and I have used every single one of them with my sites. In the next lessons I will go into great detail on where to find products for each or how to develop these products yourself. We will also go into alternative strategies to create even greater income passively and actively through your site. These methods of income generation require no product at all.

Until next time.
