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.

Affiliate programs

This is one of the most popular ways to make money online. All you need is a theme-based website and targeted internet traffic. Many companies are willing to pay you if you promote their products in whatever way you can. – Of course spamming is a big NO, NO. – To do this, you first need a theme-based website with a specific topic. Think of something that interests you, like your hobby or your previous work, write an article about it and post it on your website. After your website is up and running, with all the buttons functioning the way they should be, sign up with a company as an affiliate.

The company you sign up with as an affiliate should be selling products or services that are relevant to your websites theme or topic. The company will then give you a link to post on your website, it may be a banner or it may be just a text link. After you posted the companys banner or text link, keep in mind that the company will not pay you by just posting their link. They require you to get them visitors from your website to buy their products; this is where you get your commission.

The real work begins.

The key to success when trying to make money from affiliate programs is targeted internet traffic. What targeted traffic means is that the visitors on your website should be people who are interested in what you are discussing, and since what youre discussing is relevant to the servicess offered by the affiliate program you are promoting, visitors might consider buying something from the affiliate company.

To get targeted traffic, one of the most common and easy methods is by writing articles and posting them at article publishing websites. Always include your websites URL after every article you write. Do not just write an article about anything; this will not get you targeted internet traffic. Write about something about your website’s topic. By doing this, readers will be interested in what youre advertising on your website.

Taking Online Surveys

Companies will actually pay you just to get your opinion about their products. Surveys are like product research and development; companies are using the internet to get peoples opinion so they can effectively sell their product or services. All you have to do is sign up with a survey company and then they will send you surveys via email.

Most companies will pay you five to ten dollars for every survey you take, depending on how long the survey is. The number of surveys that will be sent to you are low, so it is a good idea to sign up with as many survey companies as you can to get a sufficient income.

There are more ways to make extra money online; some of them require you to store products. But if you want to make money immediately, you definitely should consider affiliate programs and online surveys.
