eBook Businesses

I have a few websites that I sell eBooks on...one of the more successful ones is all about getting into concerts and getting backstage passes for free.

I would like some feedback on the site as its been running for about 4 years now and has been featured on Fox news and other press outlets however I would still like to take it to the next level and really penetrate the target market for this kind of eBook.

Let me know what you guys think about the site and product.

Cheers!

not bad, I will not buy, but I would advertise on concert sites, or like ozzfest.com if this is TRULY legit.

^^ I agree with Jacob... where are your site's testimonials? Also, did you write the book or is it an affiliate sale?

nice idea. but i think you could change the layout a little to make it look like a concert idea, and add testimonials.

great idea though!

Wow! The "How to?" market seems to be booming I think people are dropping ebooks! Why because if you know the power of Google, you can get them for free and the people that make them just collect the information from around the web anyway! I could make a ebook with in the next hour and if I market it right I could probably could make £100,000 this time next year. Why don’t I do it you say, well it’s not my particular flavour of business.

I personally think that the ebook market will change and will only be good for book authors, because there will come a time when this information will be free because people will just blog about it and pick up advertising revenue from their blogs? Seems more profitable to me in the long term, what do you think?

Why, because if I wanted to sell content I would publish a book, that has a real copyright to it. I would love to know how many people are now rich from "Get Rich Quick" ebooks.

Yeah sure their making you rich but for how long can you farm a market for? Just look at MP3 Music if someone told me they had paid for MP3 Music then I now would just laugh.

Why would I laugh because it's digital content. You can get it for free! This goes for all types of digital content such as ebooks, music, files, films, software, and games. So why pay for something that you can get free or will become free like informational products.

The reason that ebooks will become free is that they don't cost anything to make so there are no overheads, publishers will knock each other down until they have to give it to you!

You say Ebay, why do you think that eBooks on Ebay are going for $0.01 over in the UK that's not even worth anything!

norkal check out lulu.com . You dont need to beg at publishers' doors anymore. and still sell a printed ebook.

but it wont be available in bookstores though.

A couple people said it and I will echo it because it is true.

1) You need testimonials
2) How To eBooks are going downhill fast
3) You need a guarantee of some sort
4) If I were you, I would put all the info on one page, in a straight down, logical order that get's people so excited with photos, guarantees, and testimonials but they can't help but buy.
