How do I set it up so the customer gets to download their books automatically? what’s the cheapest way to get traffic for the website?

    Hi there,

    Selling ebooks online can be profitable, I am not in the industry personally but i know someone who does it, this is the list of things they did

    * Get a good domain name
    * Get a website which can be used to sell products online, there are companies that can give you such solutions for less that 300. Do not go for free solutions as you will always get what you pay for and free stuff never goes very far.
    * Once they had their website they had to get a paypal account or another payment gateway to accept online payments, They website is fully automated so they just leave it to run and once a person buys an ebook, its automatically delivered via email.
    * The best way to get traffic that i would recommend is google.com adwords, it is very effective, you can also try a website called gumtree.com

    A website where you can get ebook businesses is

    The answer depends on whether you will sell your own EBook or EBook for others.

    If you are going to sell EBook for others, then go to clickbank and join their program. Choose the EBook that you want to sell.

    If you want to sell your own, you can also use Clickbank. A great advantage is that you will have others selling it for you also.

    You can also sell using a payment gateway such as paypal. But when you do this, it is best to use a security program that limits the download so people don’t defraud you.
