Self-Publish Your eBooks Through ClickBank
Copyright © Tim Coulter. All rights reserved
There was a time when ebook publishing was seen as a
reluctant half-measure for authors who had failed to impress
the mainstream press. But as on-screen reading technology
improves and the buying public becomes aware of the instant
gratification and easy navigation that downloaded ebooks can
provide, their popularity is growing and so too is their
market.
But despite the burgeoning ebook revolution, many writers
have still not woken up to the profitability of
self-publishing, nor the ease with which a turnkey ecommerce
system, like ClickBank, can help them to get their work out
to the buying public.
There are some compelling reasons to self-publish your work
in ebook format. Here are just a few of the most
attractive:
- There are no agents or publishers to convince
- There are no distributors, retailers or other middlemen to
take a cut
- You'll have no deadlines to meet nor editors to satisfy
- There are no printing, warehousing or distribution costs
- Your manuscript could be selling within days or weeks of
completion
- You get to keep up to 100% of the cover price of every
sale!
To publish a book in digital format and sell it via
ClickBank is well within the grasp of most aspiring writers,
even those with limited financial resources and little or no
online marketing experience. It's just a question of
choosing the right tools for the job and following the
tried-and-tested methods used by the thousands of successful
ClickBank sellers.
At its simplest, a self-published ebook can be created using
a word processor and packaged using any one of the various
free or low-cost ebook compilers. To sell it online requires
nothing more than a rudimentary 2-page website, with
ClickBank's ecommerce system hooked in to provide
round-the-clock automated payment processing. Although
modest, this setup can soon become a 24/7 hands-free money
machine, pulling in thousands of dollars for a single title,
while leaving the author free to work on his next creation.
Once bitten by the ClickBank bug, the most adventurous
self-publishers usually embellish their sites, building more
effective marketing infrastructures and further automating
their prospecting and post-sales processes. To aid them in
their quest for ever-greater profits, a whole micro-industry
has sprung up around ClickBank, offering all manner of
software accessories that squeeze more out of the basic
ClickBank concept.
But there is one final aspect of ClickBank that sets it
apart from any other online payment service - its integrated
affiliate program. With 150,000 affiliate members, ClickBank
boasts one of the most active affiliate networks on the
Internet. As a ClickBank seller, you can tap directly into
this priceless resource, harnessing the power of affiliate
marketing to multiply your web exposure and boost your
sales, without the daily chores of being an active web
marketer.
In short, the simplicity of ClickBank, coupled with the
power of affiliate marketing makes self publishing a viable
and profitable alternative for any author struggling to get
a book to market. Why not give it a try?
