Get A Professional Cover Made
The first tip that we have for you in regards to making money off of your eBook is to have a professionally made cover done. Sure, it’s just an eBook and you may not think that the cover matters much but it does. Don’t skimp out on the cover as a good one may cost you a few hundred dollars but it’ll make the world’s biggest difference. We can guarantee that!
Put Some Money Into Marketing
The next tip that we have for you is to put some money to the side ahead of time so you’ll have at least somewhat of a marketing budget. You can use this to buy ad spots for your eBook on the Internet, in news papers, or wherever you want. We recommend shooting a video for your eBook and promoting it on YouTube. Run some ads there as well if you can.
Give Out Review Copies
Do you know anyone that is well known in the world of eBooks? Send them a copy of your book for free and they might just give you a quote to use in your actual book. Of course, this will need to be done before your book is actually published and even if you can’t get a big name, it’s still good to get some honest feedback from the people that read your book.
Hire An Editor
Finally, the last tip that we have for you is to hire an editor. Make sure your book is more than ready for release and polish it to the core. Having a good editor will ensure that there are no inconsistencies, spelling or grammar errors, and finally, typos. This will increase your chances of getting your eBook onto good sites and you just never know. You may end up doing a paperback or hardback release of your eBook. It is most definitely possible!
So, what are you waiting for? You now know everything that you need to know in order to successfully monetize your eBook. Where you sell it or how is up to you whether it’s on your own website, through someone else’s forum, or on a marketplace. Either way you go about it, if you follow the helpful advice above, you have a good shot at making some money off of your eBook. Now, get out there and get started! We know that you can do it because we’ve seen others do it and they’re no smarter than you are. We promise!
