Your Reputation is a Success Factor

One of important factors lead to success in selling e-Book is your reputation. People are not going to buy and waste their money on information from an unknown creator. Thus, your reputation has to be ‘fat’. You have to be known as an expert in your selected niche. As of Joel Comm, he is one of the AdSense experts, he talks in conferences, a lot people listen to him both in conferences and on his blogs. From that, people known him as a ‘guru’ in AdSense. When this happened, the next steps are writing and marketing, it’s so easy for him to make his product salable.

So, if you are bound to sell an e-Book, try to attract people and fabricate your reputation first. You don’t necessarily have to talk in conferences to build your reputation. There are some ways to gradually unveil your presence in your selected niche:

• Take part in the conversations in forums (in your niche).
• Involves in other blogs (in your niche) by commenting, give your suggestion if possible.
• Make a blog and talk about your expertise, submit them to social bookmarking.
• Write for other blogs (with high and consistent traffic), of course together with links to your blog.
• Write articles about your expertise and submit them to as many as article directories as you can.
• Try to solve problems in ‘problem solving’ websites, one of them is Yahoo! answers.
• Work with credible and establish people.

Only a small amount of people don't know what eBooks are. Almost everyone has used one before.

I gathered some websites with free eBooks for download hopping they can come in handy.

FreeTechBooks.com

This site lists free online computer science, engineering and programming books, textbooks and lecture notes, all of which are legally and freely available over the Internet.

Classical Authors Library

Here you can find the Classical Authors library containing over 1000 books. All the books you wished to read but you can't find or just don't want to buy, here they are. All the classic books you heard about all your life.

Tech Books For Free Download

This one has programming books. They go from Java to Python through C/C++. It also has books on database, security, and more. All you ever wanted to know about these areas, even if you are already an expert.

Free Ebook Downloads

This one has more categories than I can remember. This website can seem a bit confusing with all the Google adverts, but the info is there and it is worth it.

There are much more websites for free books out there, but these four will keep you entertained for a few weeks.

Whenever someone asks for advice from seasoned Internet marketers, they will almost always get a reply that goes something like this “first, develop an information base through self-education; then, take action and continue to stay abreast with new developments.”

This is excellent advice, but unfortunately, many people fail in the self-education phase. They attempt to take in too much too fast - and are unable to analyze any of it well enough to actually put it into practice.

This is also apparent in non-IM niches. Many people who simply receive too many information products will often stop reading them altogether. Even though they could benefit greatly from the information, they have developed a negative connotation that prevents them from considering it.

This is important to keep in mind when attempting upsales or building a membership site. If your primary audience is people actually reading the products (not selling them), then you need to make sure that you don't include too much information or too many products. The end result will be ironic if you do: members will download everything available (which they already perceived to be too much) and then they'll unsubscribe because they simply have no use for more layers of information.

One way in which you can work around information overload is to offer “levels” of membership. This means that someone can cut the price of membership by simply receiving one ebook per month. Similarly, someone else, who has decided to resell your products, can increase his membership to receive 10 ebooks per month. This maximizes your revenue, prevents information overload - and subsequently decreases your rate of attrition.

Always keep the customer or subscriber in mind. If you're marketing to the wrong audience, you may end up dishing out a serious information overload to unsuspecting subscribers. The end result will be a major and unnecessary loss in revenues.
