As the $10,000 auction has now ended I am now
granting master resale
rights to this eBook, therefore please ignore
any references in the

The $10.000 Auction and how to repeat my
success.
Yes, I am attempting to sell 1000 copies of
this eBook and that will make me
$10,000 from sales of this eBook alone, but
along with other marketing methods I
expect to make twice as much. Maybe as much
as $50,000. All will be revealed as
you begin to read. My work on this eBook is
done, it probably took me about 48
hours to complete. Now I just sit back and watch
the money roll in and you could be
doing the same, I urge you to read every word.
So go and make a coffee, relax and
enjoy. You may find it easier if you print this
eBook. You can then read it anywhere
you want. Also please make sure you read `The
90 Day Powerseller Challenge' that is
included with this package. This will make you
a better eBook seller in general.
Why eBooks & information products?
The ability to create eBooks places you in an
incredibly powerful position. EBook
selling allows you to make your own unique product;
it makes your business
different from any of the thousands
of sellers on eBay competing for the same
customers and selling the same products at the
same prices.
"The eBay eBook market is dead, flooded, useless
and a waste of time" I am a little
tired of reading those comments. However, the
fact that you are reading this eBook
right now proves eBooks on eBay are still big
sellers. After all, you just paid for this
eBook didn't you?
This alone proves that there is still big money
to be made on eBay selling eBooks.
And I will show you exactly how to create a possible
best seller.
Your information products will only be available
from you and because of this
they are easier to market. Uniqueness aside, eBooks
are also the easiest products to
deliver to your customer, there are no shipping
costs or returns due to damaged or
lost deliveries. If, for example, you decided
to sell traditional products such as books
or CD's every order would incur packaging and
handling costs that could eat into
your profit margins. It's also likely that you
would need to hold stock of these items
thus incurring more costs for storage and maintenance.
EBooks are made of
electronic data, simply upload your eBook to your
web space and allow customers to
download it your delivery costs are virtually
zero.
Even better, apart from a couple of minor costs
at the outset, your business can be
run without cost on a shoestring budget.
And probably the best thing of all is the fact
everything can be automated. If
everything went smoothly you will have received
this eBook as soon as you hit the
pay button. I am hoping your happy with your purchase
and will leave me positive
feedback. Once you do the same will be done for
you automatically. All this could
have happened while I was in bed asleep. I could
sell all 1,000 eBooks without doing
a thing.
EBooks can also generate masses of visitors to
your web site and create thousands
of leads. If you need to find prospective customers
a free eBook can be the perfect
solution. Simply ask your web site visitors for
their contact details in exchange for a
free information product (eBook) use this free
eBook to give them a taster version
or sample of your related product(s). Include
details of where they can find your
main products and use simple follow up tools like
auto responders to turn these leads
into sales. (More on these methods later) If you
ensure your free eBook contains
enough quality information and it offers plenty
of encouragement for the reader to
follow the links back to your site for more information
they will come.
Allow your free eBooks to be copied and redistributed
freely and they will spread like
a virus across the Internet, each one of them
a homing beacon leading the way back
to your web site. This type of traffic generation
is called viral marketing and it
is one of the most cost effective ways of doing
business on the Internet.

Give something away for free and watch the
money follow straight in behind
it it may seem strange but it works, every
time.
Another excellent way to generate web/eBay store
visitors is to simply sell one of
your eBooks cheaply with master resale rights.
Give it a few Months and your eBook
will be all over eBay. Yes it will be getting
sold for only a few cents but who cares,
every time your eBook is sold it will provide
a link back to your website/eBay store
and you get the chance of a sale for doing absolutely
nothing.
Take a look at the image below, that's how many
people are selling the eBook I have
included free with this eBook. And there will
be more as I only tried one search term.
Now my eBook `The 90 day powerseller challenge'
promotes my members area at
www.planetsms.co.uk
I get many members through this eBook. So an excellent
idea to generate sales is to
provide a `taster' in the form of a cheap eBook
with resale rights and then promote
the `full version' at a higher price within your
cheap eBook. Also, most of the sellers
below do not have the brandable version. You do
so if you do decide to sell it you will
make money from it.
I hope I have now whetted your appetite about
the benefits of selling eBooks and
how with a little effort they can make you a lot
of money. Read on and find out the
easy way that you can develop your new products
and create the perfect eBay
business.
Do eBooks sell?
Despite what you may be told the answer is
and always will be yes.
People have and always will be prepared to pay
for information.
One of the strongest human desires is to learn,
to be educated and to better
ourselves, no matter what the subject is:
To live longer and healthier, to be a better parent,
partner or lover, to raise children
well, to earn more money, to work fewer hours
or to own a nicer home or faster car,
maybe play a sport better or even just bake tastier
cakes, everyone wants
information and nearly all would be prepared to
pay for it.
EBooks have become desirable because of their
instant nature, I pay my money and
boom, three minutes later all the info I need
is downloaded onto my PC. No hassle,
no waiting, no fuss.
What you are now reading is the quickest proof
I can give you that people
will pay for information. You bought this eBook
- you paid for the
information it contains.
You made a good decision! (Although I'm
obviously a little biased about this)
This eBook contains all the detail and information
you will need, it will show you how
to create eBooks, how to package your information
products and how to then
promote and sell them without any big financial
risks.
Follow the advice I give you and you really
can change your life.
As an "InfoPublisher" you can earn a
substantial income and put in far less hours
than the average person working the 9 to 5 treadmill.
You can fit in work time when
it is convenient and from the comfort of your
own home.
Alternatively you can put the knowledge here to
work for only a couple of hours each
week and you can still make a healthy second income.
How hard you work and how
much you make is up to you. But nothing comes
for free.
YOU MUST BE PREPARED TO LEARN AND THEN TO PUT
INTO PRACTICE
WHAT I'M TELLING YOU.
I cannot express this strongly enough, you would
be amazed at just how many
people FAIL simply because they do not
take action

If your thinking that you'd love to get into this
business but are daunted by the
prospect of writing an eBook -Don't be.
Your eBook doesn't have to be of epic proportions,
volume does not always equate to
value. Give your readers the facts, present them
well, educate your readers and
enrich their lives. If you can do this in two
or three pages you will achieve the same
result as if you did it in two or three hundred
pages - your customers will still be
happy and they will buy from you again.
Your eBook(s) do not have to be original or groundbreaking
either, I know a lot of
eBay sellers who have over the last few years
made thousands of pounds by simply
compiling and researching the same material that
can be found freely on the
internet. If you present your product right you
will succeed.
If you don't like to write it needn't be a
problem.
A fantastic resource can be found through private
label content. This is content that
you can add to or edit as you please, you can
usually even claim to be the author.
More will be explained later.
Resale rights or non resale rights! The choice
is yours.
If you don't know whether to offer resale rights
I will state the benefits of resale
rights and non-resale rights.
First we will start by stating the benefits
of selling an eBook with resale
rights.
These will generate sales of all your products
in your eBay store, plus you will earn
commission through affiliate links, what's an
affiliate link I hear you say. An affiliate
link is where you send a visitor to a website,
then if the visitor goes on to make a
purchase from that website you earn a commission,
this can be as much as 75% in
some cases. All of my eBooks link to my eBay store.
Now you may not realise this
but that is an affiliate link. If you then go
on to bid or buy an item anywhere on eBay
I will earn between 12c 20c. Not a lot, but
if it's an eBook getting viewed a few
hundred times a day it mounts up, plus I also
get between $12.00 - $20.00 per new
registration, however if I were selling you a
gambling product and I gave you a list of
gambling websites and you joined any of these
sites I could earn up to $100 per
sale. Or you could be an expert gardener selling
an eBook on gardening. In this book
you would provide links to gardening websites
for people to buy their plants and
tools from. Or you could be selling a health eBook
linking to health websites. You get
the picture. Also, in this eBook you would have
links to your eBay store, affiliate links
of course. Now as well as generating extra sales
you would be earning commission
too.
For more info on affiliates visit www.cj.com this
is the leading affiliate website and it
is worldwide based.
Now lets say for example you are selling an eBook
on 'how to play poker' you would
include a link to loads of poker
websites. Some will offer as much as $200 just
for
joining. In your eBook you would mention these
sites that the visitor would go to and
get 'free chips', when they sign up you would
receive your commission which can be
as much as $100 per site registration.
Now here's where the beauty of resale rights comes
in!
You sell this eBook with resale rights, now most
people who buy it will also be
thinking of reselling it. Imagine after a few
Months how many people will be looking
at your eBook. Even if only 1% were to sign up
for a poker website you would be
earning some serious money. And this is for only
one product. This product will
never expire because it will always be getting
sold on eBay by other users. It will
continue to earn you money for years to come.
After you have sold it about 50 times you don't
even need to sell it anymore,
because other people will be doing it for you.
Of course you can but I would much
rather spend the time working on another. These
are the benefits of selling an
eBook with resale rights.
Also, the point of any eBook you sell with resale
rights is to drive people to your
eBay store and website and buy your high priced
items.
Now what about selling an eBook without resale
rights.
These are totally different and these are what
can earn the big money, this is as an
eBook without resale rights.
This product is unique to me, that's probably
why you paid me what you did,
because you could not find this sort of info anywhere
else. This product is priced at a
reasonable amount because of this. This is what
I call my niche market, this is
what I do best, create and sell eBooks and tell
people how I do it. That's why you
bought this eBook. Now you need to think of what
you do best and what you can
write about. Don't think you can't write about
anything because you can. To write
an eBook is easy, you just need to do some research
and sell the info. Here are a
few examples. These are just examples off the
top of my head.
Maybe you have just got married. How about an
eBook on how to plan the perfect
wedding. Maybe you have a hobby collecting antiques.
People would pay to know
how to go about buying and selling antiques for
profit... Get the picture. The list is
endless.
However, by far the best sellers are usually about
the following:-
1, Getting things for free
2, Gambling
3, Making Money
4, Saving money
5, Improving your health
6, Working from Home
7, eBay
8, How to guides
9, Learning a new skill
10, Improve appearance
11, To be entertained
12, Have a better lifestyle
Copyright © 2006 Planetsms
Now you don't need to be an expert in any of these
fields to write an eBook on any
of the above subjects. You just need to do some
research and compile all the info to
create your own product. Plus you can still have
affiliate links in these products.
However, this is not where you will make most
of your money. You will make money
from these products because you will be selling
them for at least $10 or more.
If you look at the business and information categories
on eBay you will see loads of
people telling you how you can make money from
gambling and starting your own
business, Most of the successful sellers will
be selling their own product at a high
price. The reason it sells at a high price is
because only they are selling it. It is their
own unique product not available anywhere else.
This is where you create your own unique product,
just like this eBook is my own
unique product, no one else is selling it. Your
product is only available from you. Just
like this product is only available from me. This
is why people will pay big money for
your product. You must tell people they cannot
get it anywhere else.
So how do you Write your own UNIQUE INFO PRODUCT,
and sell it?
YOU CAN USE EXISTING EBOOKS AND THE INTERNET
FOR YOUR RESEARCH.
YOU WILL NOT BE COPYING THEM BECAUSE THAT IS
ILLEGAL.
Research anything you like on the subject from
the Internet, or buy an eBook, get
the main facts from it and add your own thoughts
and ideas. If you read the eBook
and do your own research then write an eBook of
your own on the same subject then
there's no infringement of copyright.
You can legitimately sell it as your own work,
because it is your own work.
This is the secret of producing and writing your
own valuable eBook and selling it on
your own EBAY AUCTION. As soon as you adapt and
improve all this excellent
information, it will instantly become YOURS. You
will now own the copyright including
SOLE rights over the eBook.
You, being the copyright owner, are fully entitled
under eBay rules to sell... sell...
sell.
Therefore your unique eBooks will also sell for
a much higher price. They will easily
sell for over $10 a time. Your product will be
in huge demand because no one will be
able to get it anywhere else. There are countless
eBooks out there for research,
many of them FREE. You can create money out of
NOTHING.
Set yourself up for life. You could sell at $5
each and people will run over each other
to get a new unseen before eBook for $5 on eBay.
You will be the only person selling
this so they will have to pay whatever price you
ask. If you only charge $5 however
and sell three a day this will bring in $100 a
week. For a unique eBook on eBay this
is not a problem if it's done correctly.
So to recap Use eBooks with resale rights
to promote more expensive
eBooks without resale rights.
What Type Of eBook Will People Buy?
The answer is simple -almost
any type.
OK so where do you start?
1.Find your subject.
With over 300,000,000 people online there's a
massive potential market for all but
the most specialised type of eBooks. The best
advice I can give you about the
subject of your eBook is to write about what you
know or about what interests you,
something that you would like to discover more
about yourself. Personal passion
about a subject shines through in your writing
and makes for a more enjoyable read,
entertain and educate your reader, deliver what
they want and you will have made a
customer for life.
EBay also provides an excellent resource for searching
your chosen subject. Take a
look at the featured auctions in the information
and business categories and look for
info products related to your chosen topic.
Go to a listing your interested in and watch the
item till it ends. If the seller has
loads of buyers you just know that it is a good
seller. If the eBook is reasonably
priced buy it and use for your research. You now
have your subject. Now it's time to
research further.
Handy Hint: Do not make the common mistake
of believing that your eBook should
be about making money or internet marketing
In fact, it's much easier to
generate a higher income by targeting your eBook
at a more generalised audience or
a non marketing niche, as opposed to the small
proportion who are Internet
entrepreneurs.
There are thousands of people interested in thousands
of topics the secret is:
Discover a need, target the market and feed
it.
A word of warning: Try to avoid fashionable
subjects or subjects related to current
news stories. You may find that what was searched
for 10,000 times last month only
manages a couple of hundred a month later and
by the time your eBook is ready to
go live you may find you have few or no customers.
Here are some excellent resources to enable
you to find out what topics
are hot now:
Another method of establishing 'What Sells' is
to visit the big guys and find out
what they're selling. Check out the bestseller
charts at
Amazon.co.uk
Amazon.com
Bol.com
Barnes and Noble
Once you have chosen a subject(s) you can proceed
to the next stage of your
research. To do this you will need to check out
the overall levels of interest in your
selected subject.
Simply enter some keywords relating to your chosen
eBook subject and it will show
you how many times in the previous month those
terms have been searched for.
Remember to try various search terms and alternate
wording.
If your chosen subject hasn't generated many searches
you may not be able to sell
many copies of your eBooks. In my experience sticking
with subjects that have
generated at least a five to ten thousand searches
is a safer bet, this way if you work
on a small percentage of the total searches it
will give you an idea of how many
books you could potentially sell.
You should also at this stage search for other
web sites that relate to your chosen
subject. I personally find that the easiest search
engine to use is
Google.com
It's really important to find out before you start
creating your eBook that the
information you plan to sell isn't available for
free somewhere else and this is also a
good time to check for potential competitors,
reciprocal link sites or possible affiliates
programs you can join.
Make life easier by creating a
spreadsheet and note the URLs of the sites and
forums
you visit, add helpful notes and comments about
any interesting stuff you pick up
along the way. This part of your research can
be a little time consuming but it will be
helpful as your business develops so take some
time and immerse yourself in your
chosen subject, believe me it will pay dividends
later.
Every author when writing a book needs to conduct
research and it's no different
when your writing an eBook. You have in front
of you the best tool available to carry
out your research - it's called the Internet and
the best thing about it is that it's
absolutely free.
What if you can't write well or don't have
the time.
Well that needn't be a problem. You can use what
is known as private label content.
This is simply content that has already been written
for you, all you need to do is
edit the content to suit and add your name.
If private label content interests you check out
my website
www.privatelabelplanet.com
2. Write your eBook using a program such as
Microsoft word or FrontPage.
When you think you have enough relevant information
for your eBook. Usually at
least 10 pages but of course the more pages the
better the value and of course you
can charge all the more. You can add pictures,
bold text, links to other websites etc
to make it interesting.
Use all the good information that's been
given to you. You will need to spend a
while researching your eBook. The eBook only needs
to be between 10 and 20 pages
long to sell for between $5 and $50.
Try to include links to relevant sites that can
add more information to the info
included in the eBook. These can be affiliate
links that will earn you even more.
Also maybe add a few relevant free eBooks that
your customers would be able to
resell. It makes the package bigger and more value
for money. After all, there is
plenty on eBay that can be bought for a few pounds,
give a few away to create a
'package' Just as long as they know that they
cannot resell yours.
If you have any websites or any other product
to sell use a link. You could get more
sales from it. Always have an affiliate
link to your eBay store. CLICK HERE for
more info on eBay's affiliate program. You are
almost finished.
3. Compiling your eBook
You now have to convert your word file to an eBook
using either an eBook compiler
or converting them to pdf. (Portable document
format). The best programme for this
is the Adobe Acrobat writer programme as most
PC's have Adobe Acrobat Reader
already installed on their PC. You can also security
password it so no one can edit it
or steal it by copying it.
There are some FREE or low cost services that
can convert your Word or any word
You could sell it as a word file but as there
is no security. Word to pdf is by far the
easiest route to take. You only have to convert
your document to pdf format once.
You can also download other types of eBook compilers
from the net. Most are free
and have good security. Just do a search for `eBook
creators' on the Internet.
4. List your eBook on eBay.
How to create a listing that sells your product
and how to get customers
to see it.
If your not familiar with web page design or HTML
coding don't worry. The learning
curve doesn't have to be too steep and I'm going
to show you plenty of tips and
tricks that'll make life much easier for you.
Designing a listing/sales page:
High quality graphics are essential in your listings;
I always use Planet Divinity as
they are top quality and very cheap too. David
can create anything from sales
graphics to eBook covers.
First up if your familiar with web design and
HTML the next few pages may seem a
little basic, if your not, then I'm guessing your
starting to get a little anxious and
probably think that the going may be getting a
bit tough. If you fall into the "starting
to worry" camp, rest assured, within a few
days or so you'll be wondering what you
were worried about.
I'll let you into a little secret. Six years ago
I knew nothing about eBay or
information products and I hardly knew one end
of a computer from another.
Today I earn thousands of dollars a year from
Internet marketing and the odd online
promotion campaign.
But here's a bigger secret - I still don't
write in HTML. I've learnt how, I've had to,
but I find it easier to use WYSIWYG software,
it saves time and effort and in my
opinion it works just as well as coding your web
pages by hand.
Now don't get me wrong, I think you should try
and learn at least the basics (and
I've included some good places to start at the
bottom of this page), and there are
many purists out there who will
argue that hand coding is the only way to design.
To
a point their arguments are valid, however we're
here to publish eBooks and to make
money, and to do that you don't need to do everything
the hard way. |
