Do you a people who love to write and read?
If you love writing, then you have a future "promising" business! EBOOK!
Do you have a knack for writing? Do you have knowledge that you can share with others that might improve the quality of life for them in some way. If so, you are the type of person who has the potential to experience success as an Internet entrepreneur by writing and selling ebooks.

There are five great ways to make money online by writing ebooks:

1. Provide Space For Others To Place Their Advertisements.

You can allow advertisements to be place in your ebook. The way to find advertisers is to research the names of companies and individuals in business that offer products or services that parallel or compliment the topics in your ebook.

Markets vary, but you should be able to ask for amounts up to $400 per advertisement, depending of course on how large the advertisement is, where in your ebook the ad will be located and the expected level sales to be generated by your ebook.

Offering space for advertising is a great way to increase your income without incurring out of pocket costs. However, it’s important to make sure that you manage the number of advertisements allowed in your ebook, to avoid the appearance of your ebook being created for the purpose of selling to your reader instead of offering your reader useful information.

2. Use the selling rights to your ebook to make money online.


Others may see the value in your book and believe that they can also generate income by selling your ebook. Therefore, a terrific way to generate additional income for your Internet business from your ebook is to sell others the right to sell your ebook. This is a particularly useful strategy to use if you have hyperlinks in your ebook that link to additional products or services that you may be offering to the public.

3. Write and sell ebooks to gain credibility as an expert on a subject.

There are many professional career writers today whom not only write for the purpose of sharing useful information with their readers, but also to gain credibility in the marketplace as an expert on a particular topic.

It is not unusual for authors of books that have been well-received by the market, to be asked to participate in radio and television talk shows. Also, it is also not unusual for such authors to be approached occasionally with requests for well-compensated public speaking engagements.

However, it is important for you as a writer to highlight the benefit that the reader will gain by reading your book, so that you enhance the value of the book in the eyes of potential readers.

4. Drive traffic to your website with your ebook.

Set up a website where you offer additional products and services beyond your ebook. Within the ebook, make reference to and include links to your website. This will clearly result in visits to your website that would not have otherwise taken place.

Once you amaze your readers with your knowledge of the topic of your ebook, you can expect many of them to visit your website to see what additional information might be gathered there. Make sure that the reader never has to ask how to find your website: list the address of your website on every page of your ebook.

5. Your ebook can be used to build an email list.

As an online marketer you will learn that a lot of your potential income comes from collecting the email addresses of people who are interested in your product or service. Use your ebook asking for the email address of the purchaser as a part of the purchasing process.

If you find in your Internet business that building the email list comes to be more important that selling individual copies of the ebook, you can always choose to give your ebook away, free of charge, as a way of increasing interest in the ebook and gathering more email addresses that can be used for future income generating opportunities.
