Here's a really simple way... to start your own business
selling information products.
How many times have you sat and wished you could profit from
information products like the well known marketers do?
But there's always something holding you back, you don't
know how to write a book, you don't know how to sell online,
or a million and one different obstacles you can think of.
Well here are my 5 tips to make your online bookshop and
publishing empire more than just a dream.
1. you don't know how to write an e-book, or article for
yourself?
There's a quick and simple way to get around this.
Turn Other People's Information Formats Into A Publication
You could get permission from a publisher to transcribe an
audio
or video into a print or electronic publication. You would
have nothing to write and you could just pay them an
up-front fee or royalties on your sales. Another alternative
is to Compile A Publication - You could allow other authors and
experts to write the publication for you in exchange for
free publicity or other incentives. You would simply contact the
authors and experts you want and ask them to donate some content.
2. You don't know which format to use to publish your book.
There are several formats for publishing an e-book, the most
common, and easily distributed is in pdf format. To make it
even easier, here is a link to the Easy PDF Publishers
Toolkit with all the information you need to start
publishing your book.

Another alternative is to publish as an executable file, but
this will limit your appeal to those people running a
computer which can open it. The pdf is favourite because it
can be read by most operating systems and computers.
3. You don't know how to setup a sales site
This is where you can use the power of the internet again,
Package Your Publication With Other Products - You could
ask similar but non-competing businesses to create a package
deal. You would sell your publications or product together
in one package deal.
You would split the profit or each sells them separately for
100% of the profits.
4. Another tip for saving you doing the selling
Others Give Away Your Publication And You Charge Them For
Bulk Quantities - You could have others give away your
publication and you receive a bulk purchase sale.
For example a business may want 100 copies of your
publication to give to their employees.
You could charge them a lower cost per item because of
the large quantity that you're selling.
5. Make more money with each book
Sell A Branded Copy Of Your Publication - You could allow
other people to sell or give away the publication as their
own and charge them to place their ads in it. If it
contains links to affiliate sites, offer people the
opportunity to put their affiliate links in for a small fee,
and if not yours will earn money when people purchase
through them.

money with your own e-books today.
