The  Top 5 Ways to Make
Big Money With eBooks!

The best ways to make BIG money with ebooks are all through joint ventures.  The more big experts with large targeted lists on your topic that you can get to participate, the more money you will make. 

However most people can’t get to these experts, especially when they are first starting out, so of all of the top ways with joint ventures, I recommend using ebook launches, because you don’t need THE top experts to make really good money with them, and you don’t need to have the experience you need to do virtual ebook tours or rolling teleseminars (which I’ll explain in a minute). 

So having said that here is my top 5 list.

1. eBook Launches. In an ebook launch you get 20 to 30 partners to agree to send an email to their list all on the same day recommending that they buy your ebook. Each gives a bonus that buyers can get when they purchase, which allows your JV partners to collect names and emails and build their lists with buyers who are more valuable to them than prospects. The beauty of ebook launches is you can do them over and over. So if you can get a top expert, that’s great but if you can’t you can still make good money whenever you want to! (You can also have 6-10 top experts each write a chapter and then do an ebook launch and you will make great money, but you have to be able to reach them and you can only do it once.)
   
   
2. Virtual eBook Tours (teleseminar). In a virtual ebook tour you still get joint venture partners and they can still provide bonuses to build their lists (And again, the better your partners the better the results).  But instead of sending an email to get subscribers to buy your ebook, they send their lists to a live call where you answer questions and sell the ebook on the call. (But if you don’t have a great interviewer, if you have technical problems, if you don’t know how to close, if you don’t have a great offer, or urgency, you might not do anywhere near as well as with an ebook launch).
   
   
3. Rolling Launches. This is where you do a teleseminar with one joint-venture partner at a time.  It’s a lot more work and there is way more room for error because you’re counting on each JV partner to help you sell your ebook on EACH call.
   
   
4. Videos. Videos are one of the best ways to get your message out these days - they tend to convert higher because people feel a closer connection than a sales page - and people are so busy they don’t always have time to go to a teleseminar. Plus videos can go viral.  There are a couple of ways to get your video out- tube mogul, which is free but you can’t brand them. Traffic Geyser is better and they have great free video tutorials that help you with your strategies, but the service is not free. If you want to try it I have a link to it: www.instanttrafficstream.com.
   
   
5. eZine Ads. Find targeted newsletters with large distribution. The downside is that you have to pay for them. For best results, you’ll want to test and see which ones do the best. And you will need to have a great sales page to convert people because it’s passive, so people aren’t getting to know you, like you, and trust you like they do on teleseminars and you don’t have a gatekeeper like a joint venture partner vouching for you.

Reader's Q&A

Q.  What is the best way to go about getting my work copyrighted? I have heard several stories. One story is that all I have to do is draw a C and put a circle around it. Another story is that I have to go to a lawyer. Please tell me the real story.

A.  It’s not enough to put a copyright sign on the page; you also need to use the word "Copyright," because some countries don’t recognize the © sign. If you want to do even more, send a copy of your manuscript to the copyright office in Washington, DC. It’s under $50 and protects you if you ever have to go to court.

Q.  What’s a good title and what’s a bad title? 

A.  A good title is one that connects with your potential buyers on an emotional level and gets them to take the next step and look at the table of contents and/or purchase the ebook.

A bad title is one that doesn't convey what the ebook is about. It can also be just plain dull-sounding like a textbook. Or it can use words that are hard for people to connect to and understand.
