Create an E-Book Equals Creating a Cash Cow

Creating a home-based business was a really smart move on my part. Except for buying one ebook on the subject, which cost me about the same as a tank full of gas for my compact car, Affiliate Marketing wasn’t costing me a dime. I followed the basic steps I’ve outlined in several of the articles I have published on article directories. In case you missed them, here they are the steps in condensed form:

1.    Sign up as an affiliate with ClickBank.com. Choose a nickname and fill out the forms so they’ll know where to send the checks.

2.    Visit ClickBank’s Marketplace and find ebooks that you think you can sell.

3.    Create articles about the subject of the ebook and post them on article directories.

Total amount invested by me in these three steps = 0 (Yes, that’s a zero). Why more people facing financial disaster like I was don’t catch on to this is beyond my comprehension. Maybe they are just too timid. Maybe all they do is fiddle around on Facebook and Twitter hour after hour. That’s their problem. Heaven knows I’ve tried to convert these people to give it a try with my dozens of articles published on the top ezines and article directories.

If you are looking for a great way to earn some real money on the Internet that really works – and I will prove it to you in a moment – then please take the time to read every word of this message very carefully.  It will be the most important information you read all year.

Yes, you can earn income as an article marketer. It gave me the encouragement I needed to really learn the ropes of Internet Marketing. I learned one simple fact, the dudes making the real money are the ones we affiliate marketers work for.

Let’s say I publish an ebook and sign up 100 affiliates. The ebook sells for $40.00 and I offer a 50% commission. If my 100 affiliates each sell 10 copies, that’s a total of 1000 copies. Each affiliate makes $200.00. I make $20,000. Now—which to you sounds like a better deal?

Do you see where this is going? The real money is writing the ebooks, not selling them. I have been quite satisfied with what I’ve accomplished so far as an affiliate and I do plan to continue. But I wanted to tap into the real money and that presented some stumbling blocks.

You see, for the last 10 years I have been writing technical information manuals for some very complex crime scene investigation equipment. I even published a spy thriller, which has shown mediocre performance. Writing an e-book gave me fits. I knew I needed help. So I turned to the same chap that taught me how to write and publish articles.

Now you might ask me: “Can I make a lot of money with ANY ebook?”

Well, quite frankly, no you cannot. Many people are plodding along  with a few bucks a month, with no hope of seeing more. A lot of ebooks never sell at all.  Why, you ask?  Because their authors decided they had an important message to give the world, but they didn’t take the time to first find the answers to these three basic questions:
1. Are there enough people interested in this topic, already reachable in groups, to sell my ebook to?

2. Do those people have a question or problem they’d be willing to pay at least $29 to solve?

3. Will my ebook give them good answers to their question or problem that they would consider what I have to tell them worth the money they paid for it?

One fellow I know wrote an ebook that is bringing in about $35,000 a month. What  problem does his ebook is solve?  Divorce!  If you’ve been through the agony and heartbreak of divorce, or you know someone who has, you can understand why a lot of people would gladly pay $79 for a guaranteed way to prevent an impending divorce from ever happening. I am very close to this author since I am one of his affiliates.

Several months ago I had the inspiration to write an e-book. I had tried conventional publishers and ended up very disappointed. Although my novel, “Surrogate Warrior,” was published at absolutely no cost to me, this print-on -demand publisher is devoted to selling copies to the authors to make its overhead. My novel is nearly 300 pages in length and was published in paperback. You can order it from all of the major book sellers like Amazon and Barnes and Noble for $24.95 (way over-priced). The publisher will sell it to me for 50% off—but they won’t offer a better discount it where it would do the most good. The publishers hold the electronic rights so I can’t even get it on Amazon’s Kindle.

So much for those fools. ClickBank will publish an e-book for a $49.95 activation charge, and then will expose it to millions of potential purchasers and thousands of affiliates. Traditional book publishers are hurting now because they won’t accept the inevitable…the Internet is where the future lies for entertainment, enlightenment and general knowledge. 10 years ago I fought the idea of digital photography. Well, have you tried to buy a roll of film lately?

Can you teach an old dog new tricks? Well this old dog, age 73, has learned a few… among them…You can’t fight technology.  The Internet has changed the way we live our lives. Join the revolution!

If you have dreams of being a published author, then wake up. Or the dream will always be just that—a dream—until you wake up and make it a reality. One of the most often selected e-books by those folks who believe in themselves is right here at your fingertips. Why wait. Learn how this one small purchase, about the cost of a a good dinner out for two, can help you to write and get published successfully.
