If You Can't Beat Them. . . Join Them!

What do Internet marketers Rick Beneteau, Jim Daniels, and Marlon Sanders, and Mark Enlow have in common? They have all made their personal fortunes as authors of top-selling ebooks!
When Stephen King brought in $450,000 in a mere three days with the recent release of "Riding the Bullet", he made it clear that ebooks SELL!
Like our pioneer forefathers, cyber marketers are struggling to learn the basics of survival on the Internet frontier. In desperation we try the "marketing technique of the week", only to see our efforts run dry.
Your experience and knowledge are priceless. Why not tap into that wealth of knowledge and profit from it? Truth is that dot comers are hungry for information on how to get ahead in business. When start ups jump into business; they lack the business savvy that only comes with real work experience. If you can help them JUMP that learning curve, you've got yourself a topic for a winning ebook.

Digital Publishing - Make Your Fortune Here

Ebooks are part of the new frontier of cyberspace. They are an entirely new medium for sharing marketing information, ideas, techniques, and expert knowledge. Each day the number of people accessing the Internet grows, causing the exposure of your ebook to increase incrementally. It's obvious why electronic self-publishing has become so popular so quickly.
And here's how you can make a fortune from digital publishing:
The publishing industry, I hope, does not intend to forever banish the printed word to the dustbin of history. Books in print have their own special qualities and merits, and the world would be diminished by their disappearance.
Having said that, let's look at what makes ebooks so important and so unique. Ebooks have certain abilities and qualities that other mediums do not possess.
For example, ebooks are fairly easy to produce, and their production cost is inexpensive. Just think about it: you don't need a publisher, an agent, a printing press, offset film, ink, paper, or even a distributor. You just need a great concept, the ability to write it or to hire a writer, and the right software.
Additionally, ebooks are easily and rapidly distributed online. They are also easily updated; they do not require a second print run. All you need is to go into your original creation and modify the text or graphics. Because of this flexibility, ebooks can change and grow as fast as you can type.
Ebooks are also immediately obtainable. You don't have to go to a bookstore or search through endless titles at an online bookstore. All you have to do is download it from a website, and presto! It's on your computer, ready to be read.
Ebooks are interactive. This is one of the most unique and specific qualities that ebooks offer. You can add surveys that need to be filled out, order forms for customers to purchase your products or goods, sound and video that draw your reader into the virtual world of your ebook, even direct links to relevant sites that will expand your ebook outward. The potential is virtually limitless.
Ebooks have a particular kind of permanence that other mediums do not possess. Television shows and radio shows air once, and then may rerun a few times. Ebooks remain on your computer for as long as your choose, and they can be read and reread whenever you choose to. They can even be printed out and stored on the shelves of your traditional home library.
Another wonderful quality is that ebooks have no barriers in terms of publishing. You don't need to go through the endless process of submitting your manuscript over and over again, and then once you land an agent, having the agent submit your manuscript over and over again. Nor do you have to shell out thousands of dollars for printing a self-published book. All ebooks require is a writer and appropriate software. Figure out your market, write your book, post it on your website, and with the right business savvy, your audience will come to you.
Finally, you have creative control over your ebook. You don't have to compromise with an editor or the publishing trends of the time. You don't have to haggle with a designer or wait for copyedited galleys to arrive by snail mail. You are in complete control of the design and the text.

How creative are you when it comes to making money and increasing your subscribers using ebooks or other digital products?
Here are some tips on how to increase your profits with ebooks.
You could show your prospects a sample page out of your ebook. This will make your prospects curious to buy. You could even give away a free version of the ebook and then give people an option of buying the paid version. Also let others give away the free version of your ebook.
You could divide your ebook content into reports then give people the option of just purchasing the info they want. Or you could charge people a low price to read half of your ebook. If they like it, they can pay full price to read the other half.
You could also earn extra profits from selling monthly updates of your ebook. You could also back end sell the extra never released chapters of your e-book.
You could redesign your ebook for specific niches. You can create multiple profits with very little work. Ex: Turn a business ebook into a craft business ebook. You could then divide your ebook into online newsletter issues. You could charge a reoccurring monthly subscription for people to view each issue.
You could give your prospects discount coupons on other products when they purchase your ebook. It could be your products or others that you made deals with. You could also offer freebies that are related to the ebook your selling. It could be free monthly ebook updates, free e-zine, free consulting, etc.
You could offer the reprint rights to your ebook. You can sell the rights with the regular purchase price or as a separate higher price.
You could make your ebook available for offline people. Your could turn it into a print book, report, video, audio book, print newsletter, etc.
But many people agree that one of the best way to increase your profits and sales is to bundle many products or services together into one package. You could purchase reprint rights to other people's ebooks an combine them with your in a large package deal or private ebook library web site.
This gives people more reasons to buy your products and services. People also have come to believe package deals are a better value. You want all the products or services to be closely related. For example: if you're selling a computer you could add in software, hardware, computer furniture, etc.
There are many ways to go about choosing the right products or services to bundle into one package. You could survey your customers and see what products or services they would like you to offer in the future. Spy on your competition and see what products and services they're offering or not offering. If you would like to, bundle unrelated products or services together, ask your customers which ones would be of interest to them.
Bundling can also increase your target markets which in return would give you a larger audience to sell your products and services. For example: if you're selling a baseball magazine you could add a free baseball when someone buys a subscription. You're now targeting people who want the baseball magazine and those that want to play baseball out in the yard. Some people buy a package deal just to get one of the products. There are many sources where you can find products and services to create a package deal. You can buy them from wholesalers or drop shippers. You can buy the reproduction/resell rights to other people's products. Team-up with your competition to create a package deal. You could joint venture or cross promotion deal with other businesses. You could also create your own products and services. Be creative!

Rapid Knowledge Development for Businesses

When there is little time to go to the local public library or shop around for a good business book, e-books on the Internet may be the best solution. If you are looking for specialized information, e-books may be the "only" solution.
E-books are viable and cost-effective. They can be quickly located using a search engine. Bought and downloaded anytime and anywhere. The "critical path" towards knowledge acquisition is fast and effective. You can rapidly develop your business knowledge base on several subjects like leadership, management, planning, promotion, finance and more.
Imagine that you suddenly realize you have to prepare for an important business meeting tomorrow and give a presentation on change management. You can quickly log on to the Internet and find some very good e-books on the topic. You can download the e-book immediately and start reading.
E-books are usually much less expensive than traditional books on business. This means that you don't have to go through bureaucratic procedures to get an approval on a book for your office because the book is expensive. There are e-book programs that allow corporations to become members. Employees can login through the corporate account and access any number of e-books they like. This is a revolution in terms learning. With the same amount of money to buy physical books, corporations can now offer their employees unlimited choices.
There are many such examples that prove how e-books can be a tool to gain knowledge faster than traditional methods. It all depends how we can make the best use of e-Books in our business lives.
