e-books and profits

[Kitjaii]

hey guys,

Is it really hard to sell an "attractive" ebook nowadays in the market since there are so many competition out there? I know most ebooks are repetitive information since information can be found if you spend enough time... but not everybody uses this function efficiently and i wanted to take the opportunity to maybe start it as a side job for extra income since i am a university student. I wanted to ask do you really have to be an "expert" to write a good book? I was thinking of writing e-book on how to start a business .. a guide for newbies. I do have creativity and my research skills are incredible when it comes to sourcing on the web.

My other concern is promoting my site on the web...how hard is it to get enough traffic to get on top of Google's search list.

write an ebook, post it to clickbank...

and you just need to pay your promoter a certain % per sale made. No sale, no need to pay... easy

There is a one-time $50 start up fee, but ClickBank is a very good place to get started and get others excited about promoting your product. For your e-book to really stand out, try to focus on one sub-niche within your particular niche like "Starting a Real Estate Business" or even combining ideas from different industries never thought of before.

One major contributor to getting your site higher in rankings on Google is having links to your page from other "credible" sites, ClickBank's affiliates can help leverage you in that aspect. I'd also encourage you to make frequent blog posts to various blogs within your niche with a link back to your site to gain even more quality external links (and hopefully targeted traffic).
