How to Make Money from Affiliate Ebooks without Selling them.

The standard way to make money from Ebooks is to sell them to our website visitors and our mailing list.

But what if we dont have many website visitors, and dont have a huge mailing list?

How do we sell them? And is selling the Ebook the only way to make money out of them?

This series of articles will be in three parts:

Part one: How to make money from Affiliate Ebooks without selling them.

Part two: How to use Ebooks and Ebay to build your mailing list.

Part three: How to use Ebooks to drive more visitors to your site.

First, lets look at some other ways to make money from Ebooks.

One way is to give them away! But how does that make money for me? You may ask!

Lets say we have an Ebook that we acquired from someone else and we have full re-sale rights.

Inside this Ebook there are usually one or two, (maybe more) active links to the affiliate program that we got the Ebook from.

These links will be traceable links to either the affiliate that sold or gave us the Ebook or the owner of the Affiliate program.

Now if we click on one of those links and go to the affiliate program, find something we need and buy it! Who gets the commission for the sale?

The person that gave/sold us the Ebook!

Now we can just sell the Ebook and make a few dollars, but if we want more money we have to sell more Ebooks, right? The answer is yes and no.

Lets look at us selling more Ebooks first, we sell more and make a little bit more money, those Ebooks are going to go out to more people, which might click on the link in it, when they do, who gets the commission on any sales? The answer is the affiliate who gave/sold us the Ebook.

Its plain to see who is leveraging and earning more money for less effort isnt it?

So what we do is become an affiliate! Then go about the business of giving our Ebook away to as many people as possible, who will then try to sell it to others, who will in turn do the same, etc so this way WE are the ones using leverage, and making more money!

But wait a minute! Why would anyone want to do that for us, wouldnt they think like us and become an affiliate? The answer is YES! Thats the idea!

Now, they join as an affiliate through us, and put their affiliate URL in the Ebook and then they promoted as vigorously as we did! This is the ultimate goal for us! BECAUSE, they joined the affiliate program through us, they are now a second tier in our affiliate account.

So now, not only do we get a large percentage in commission from anyone that buys something through our affiliate link in the Ebooks we promote, but we also get a small percentage for any sales generated by our second tier!

This can go on and on depending on the particular affiliate program, but its plain to see the viral effect this would have on our affiliate link.

Many people will be willing to add our Ebook to their emailing list as a way of adding value to their customers, if its free then why not! This will send our links all over the planet, along with the steps outlined above.

This is one way that Ebooks can be used to make money, there are many, many other ways, so we should always think about other ways and means to leverage our efforts this is the secret to successful marketing.

After you create a blog that is interesting, now it is time to start making money. The second step of getting visitors is the most important, if you plan on making money. The third step is choosing how you will make money from your blog. You should try to keep your blog on the same topic on all your post, being that you can have an unlimited number of blogs, you can have a blog for any and every topic you choose. Make sure to start a new blog if you are totally off the main subject of the blog that you are posting to.

Blogger and several other free blog companies make it very simple to have a brand new blog up and running in a matter of a few minutes. Try not to post an article about dogs on a blog about golf. Once you have an interesting blog on one particular topic, the best place to start making money is Google AdSense. Blogger has made it very simple to add AdSense ads to your blog.
The ads that show up on your blog will be targeted towards the topic of your blog, which means if you have a blog about dogs, the ads that show up on your blog will deal with pets. It’s like Google is paying you to advertise on your blog.

Another way to make money with your blog is with affiliate programs. Companies will pay you good money to advertise their products, and all you have to do is put a link or banner on your blog leading to that companies web site. Once a sale is made the company gives you a commission. That is the reason you should pick one topic for your blog. If you want to have a blog about your life, by all means do it, but have other blogs about specific topics if you want to make money.

Once you find a topic that interest you, look for affiliate programs for that particular topic. With the dog blog example, there are several dog training products that you can have links and banners to on a dog blog that will make good money. ClickBank is the top company when it comes to affiliate products, they have over 10,000 products to choose from. Browse their products to see which ones you would like to promote. Obviously you want to pick something that fits the topic of your blog, but don’t limit yourself to just one, you can change a product you are promoting with a few clicks.

The internet is the essence of marketing, by that I mean, every word in an ad matters, every color, where the ad is located on your blog, whether is is blinking or not, and the color of the text. It might not seem like all of those things matter, but the fact is, everything that you decide matters. The good thing is you can experiment with how your blog looks as much as you want. There are several e-books written on how you should place and where you should place them, in the beginning, just go with the basic blog set-up until you get the hang of things.

Are you are in debt or struggling to pay the bills? Or perhaps you want to save up for a special vacation or to send your kids to college. You may be planning to go back to school yourself in order to train for a new career. Whatever you need money for, there is a way for you get it without spending a fortune before you see results.

One of the problems with making money at home, is that you often need to spend money first. So how can you minimise your outgoings and maximize your income?

Most experts agree that a content-based website is the best way to make money online, but it can take months to set up and sometimes years before you see any real profit. Most people who want to make extra money cant wait that long. Others tell you the best way to make money is by creating your own products, but that will take even more time, especially the first time you do it and if you are in debt, you dont have that kind of time.

So, is there an alternative? There is no magic way to make money online overnight, but there is a way to speed things up. Instead of building a huge website, build a one page site and use it to promote someone elses product, a product which you sell as an affiliate.

If you have never built a website before, you can learn basic html by doing a search for “html tutorials”and you can also download free software which will create the html for you. Initially you wont need expensive web-hosting. So get the cheapest you can find for now. You can upgrade later. Be careful if you decide to use free hosting as this can mean you cant use a good domain name and you dont want to have advertising on your site.

Before building your site, choose an affiliate program which sells a product which interests you you will need to buy it yourself so that you can write a knowledgeable article or review for your site. Be sure that the product has a reasonable commission many offer 50% or more – and preferably pays you around $40.

The cheapest way to drive traffic to your new website is to write articles for submission to article directories. This does involve work, but becomes easier with time and will bring results. Youll start to make extra money at home and although it will be a small amount to start with, it will continue to grow.
