To help you get started, below are a few tips on how you should sell your e-book online. Implement these tips and you will surely see a substantial increase in your sales.

The more eye-catching your e-book cover is, the more people will be interested in purchasing it. It really is as simple as that. The cover is the very first thing that your customers will see on your product. If it's poorly made, people will easily assumes that it has poor content as well.

Show your potential customers that the testimonials are real and that you did not make them up.

Too Many Cheaters Online Stealing Content and Selling It in E-Books

As a prolific online article writer, I am very upset that so many folks are so lazy, that they'd attempt to cheat and steal content, rather than do it right. There have been numerous cases where folks had found information in the public domain, compiled it into e-books, and then sold those e-books digitally online. Many of the old works which were scanned by Microsoft and Google and are now public domain, some of them 50 years old or more, have been repackaged and sold on e-book selling platforms.

The other day, I found some e-books that I had produced, and was giving away online at my website, and someone else had converted those PDF files into a format that was then loaded onto one of the most popular e-book selling websites. It still had my name on it, as the author, but of course the copyright was missing, and there was that e-book for sale, although someone else was getting money for it.

There was an interesting article in Fast Company titled; "Unmasking A Digital Pirate On Amazon," by Adam Penenberg published digitally on January 25, 2012.

"A Kuwaiti national using fake names and selling others' copyrighted stories in the Kindle Store sheds light on black hat hacker forums--and the theft, taboo sex, and swindles festering in the recesses of Amazon."

The article talked about how online marketers were discussing the ways to manipulate the system at the Warrior Forum. There were folks who were selling e-books for $20, and then allowing people to put their name on it, change the title, and put it onto Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or any of the other e-book websites and sell it in very specific and limited niches.

There was another article recently in the New York Times talking about a similar situation where someone was lifting paragraphs and pieces out of other very popular e-books changing the character names and what have you and reposting them. Obviously that is in violation of copyright law, but one of the biggest challenges with copyright law, or patent law is that it is up to the holder of the copyright or patent to enforce it.

However, with all of this fraud running rampant it's almost impossible to spend all of your time trying to enforce copyright violations and still concentrate on creating new literary works whether it be fiction or nonfiction.

As an online article author, and an author of a good many e-books, I am concerned for other authors who are doing it legitimately, as well as the e-book industry as a whole. The e-books have overtaken the printing industry, and tens of millions of e-readers are sold each month, but it is like the Wild West in the e-book industry.

Eventually the readers of these e-books will no longer trust the system, at that point everyone loses, and the print industry and publishing sector have already been all but destroyed. These cheaters, and lazy online marketers out to scam the public are going to ruin it for everyone. This is very upsetting to me, if you have any questions or comments please shoot me an e-mail, this is a problem we must solve.

Selling Ebooks Online And Marketing Them

Many people online love the idea of selling ebooks, but just as many people don't know how to sell them. Some people start off in some of the toughest niches on the planet - trying to go head-to-head with a major company who has been operating in a particular niche for the past 10 years.

If this describes you, then you should know that your ebook profits will come from going into a small niche, and making money that way. Can you succeed in a large, competitive niche? Sure. But is it advisable? No, it's not. Many people in the niche are already tuned in to the "guru" who has longevity in the niche. So when you come along, they will think that you have no relevant advice that they haven't heard before.

This is why you want to go into a niche in your business if you want to make money online with ebooks. I can remember a while back I went into the "video file converter" niche, and started to receive sales immediately (within 2 days) from the product that I was selling. I only used 1 traffic source to do this, and I'm convinced that you can do the same thing also.

A partial drawback of going into a small, targeted niche is that you have to create a product, create some sales copy, and drive tons of traffic back to your website. If you're not a pro in any of these things, you may have a slight problem on your hands. It's not a major problem, because all of these things can be done within a matter of days. But if you have no idea of where to start and how to look to solve this problem, a matter of days may turn into a matter of weeks.

And this is the gist of selling ebooks online. They're a great thing to do, and the lifestyle is incredible, but you may have a tough time getting started due to creating an ebook, and marketing it online. I once saw an ebook that promised 1001 ways to promote your ebook, but I'm here to tell you, that only 5 of those 1001 ways will bring you the most traffic.

You don't have to do a ton of different strategies to get traffic to your website. Stick with a consistent weekly marketing strategy, and you will be good to go. Selling ebooks are a great way to earn money without doing much except promoting it, and even this is easy. If you have money to test and spend on advertising (particularly pay per click), use it and see how it works for you.

Different people will get different results due to the niche that you're in and the product that you sell, but I'm convinced that almost an ebook of any kind can be sold online. You just need an incredible marketing plan on how to get sales with the ebook, and you will be good to go.

Think about these ideas and consider how you can implement them into your ebook business today. The sooner you take action, the sooner you'll be able to earn money from your ebook that you should be proud of.

Good luck with using these tips to sell your ebook today.

Selling Your Home? 4 Tips to Make It Stand Out In A Buyer's Market

Selling a home is challenging these days, especially in certain areas like Florida and the Southwest. Collapsing property values have left many prospective home buyers gun shy about re-entering home ownership. One of the best ways to overcome this challenge is to list your house with a top real estate agent. In addition, you need to take some steps on your own to make the house appealing to buyers. 

Any real estate broker will tell you that a home that stands out from its competitors is a much easier sell than one that is just 'average' compared to its competition. If you take a few simple steps to improve your home, you will likely find that it will not only sell faster, but at a higher price as well. Here are 4 things you can do to make your home more appealing to prospective buyers:

Get Rid of the Clutter

If you're working with a top realtor, they may bring in a stager to help you with this part of it. In fact, even if you don't get one through your real estate broker, it may be worth the investment to hire a professional stager to put their expertise to work arranging the furniture and furnishings inside the home. Still, even without a pro, you can still do some basic, common sense stuff, like removing as much clutter as possible.

The idea is to make the inside of the home look as open and spacious as possible, and this means getting as much stuff out of there as you can. In particular, make sure you remove pictures and other personal knick-knacks. These only get in the way of the buyer's view of what the home may look like with them in it.

Put on a Fresh Coat of Paint

Once you've de-cluttered and arranged the furnishings, it's time to give the inside of the home a paint job. This is truly one of the least expensive ways to enhance the appeal of your home-provided you paint it the right color. Make sure to use a brighter color like eggshell, taupe, or some other off-white color. These kinds of colors have generic appeal to the masses, and will make your house seem fresh, bright and clean.

Make Minor Repairs of All Visible Blemishes

All homes have some 'wear and tear' over time, but there's no need to show that to the buyer. Most of the 'bumps and bruises' a house suffers are minor and can be patched up for just a few hundred dollars. But if you fail to make these repairs, your house could be branded a 'fixer upper.' Don't take chances when it comes to getting your home sold. Go through and identify any and all blemishes and get them fixed before putting the home on the market.

Give the Exterior 'Curb Appeal.'

Curb appeal is a term that is hard to describe with words, but you definitely know it when you see it. Basically, you are trying to achieve the 'wow!' factor with the exterior of your home. Start by making sure the roofing and siding is in good repair. Then move on to the landscaping-lawn, bushes, garden, etc. And after you've done the basics, a top realtor will be able to advise you on other ways you can make the outside of your home look outstanding.
