My ebook for newbies going from zero to 3k a month - Need some suggestions

Discussion in 'General Business' started by daftafterdaft, Jun 27, 2011.

    I`ve been Working on my ebook in the past 2-3 weeks, and i just finished yesterday night with one of my partners.My e-book is for people that want to start earning decent online(from 1 to 3k ..in the worst cases).
    My dilema is ...how much should i sell the ebook for?I saw people sell ebooks for 5$ and they pretend to teach you how to make thousands and thousands of dollars every month..but the content of the ebooks are crap!After i compared my ebook with others i figgured out that who reads my ebook and wants to start with it, can make money in 1 week after purchasing(or less)I mean..my ebook really explains everything...not just general information like you find in most of the ebooks.I`m also thinking that if i sell it.. the ebook will then be shared for free on the internet and i dont want my work to go for free.
    So what you suggest me?How much should i charge for it?Or i should start some coaching services and get more money like revenue share from the earnings of the guys that will join me?
    i`m really waiting for some serious answers because my ebook is probably one of the best ones that explains everything, and actually works.There are 3 methods inside so.. i dont know..i`m kinda` scared to sell it .

    If i will sell it anywhere, please let me know where are the best places to get it sold, and also the ebook will not go for less than 150$ i think ...or i dont know..come with suggestions

    $150 for a how to make money on the web ebook sounds high to me unless you or your site has some notoriety. Here's a thought, send me your book, and I will follow it, if it works like you say, I will tell all my friends!

    Since your method is really work then you better create a membership site to earn recurring income when new subscriber subscribe for your ebook.

    The material is at your website thus they cannot share the ebook.

    usually they are sold for 49$ max, you won't expect big sales if you rise your price up to 150$

    Why don't sell for a 3$ or less? Because if you are really confident in your ebook that it really provide relevant and valuable information for the people who wants to earn money, then it is so possible for you to be success in selling it.

    I think in that case you will need some testimonials and top promoters within the industry to make it work

    Yes that will be good.But how can i protect my ebook from staying away from all these pirate sites with nulled scripts, and against the copyright issues. Also i`m looking to sell maximum 100 copyes.This niche can`t be saturated easy, and the earnings are 100% sure ....if this gets on the hands of some people that dont respect my work....everyone will have it.So i better not sell it?

    Definitely 150$ for an ebook for newbies to make monyey online , no one would possibly buy it , so better reduce your price , becasue you state that its for newbies .OK if it is for online experts those who already made some cash.

    A lot of newbies will not pay that much for a book telling them how to make money online. You would have to have an incredible reputation and a lot of legitimate testimonials to even get people to consider paying that much.

    The whole sharing forums/torrent thing just happens to everyone. Even guys like Frank Kern, John Reese, etc. have to watch those sites. But, most people don't use what they learn anyways. There are people who routinely drop 1000's of bucks on seminars and closed door events just to get the "high" from the dream being sold to them.

    If your really nervous about releasing your ideas, stick with the high ticket price. Fewer people will buy but they might be better customers. If I drop a lot of money on something it will be in my best interest to keep to myself, right? If not I spent all that cash on nothing, especially if the niche/technique is still producing a good income stream.

    As for you targeting newbies with your item. Here is something off the top of my head: You might want to stalk this and other forums (or hire someone to do it) and look for folks who really seem to need the help. aka. they started a thread like "I'm giving up all hope...etc etc". Drop in and help 'em out, be a light in their life. Also, due to reciprocation, they will be more loyal and be less likely to drop your tech. on the Black Hat Forum's "Freebie" page.

    One other thing. If those techniques are your chief source of income you might want to rethink releasing the stuff until you and your team have another income source up and running.

    Anyway I hope my ideas helped some what.

    Best of luck!

    Wow, Now you are looking to sell each ebook at $200 and maximum 100 copies so you will collect $20K
    So you claim anyone who buys your book can make $700 to $1k within 1 week. Let us say on the low side $700 per week so those 100 buyers will have made $70K in first week. So obviously everyone is asking why you want to slog and sell to 100 buyers and only earn $20K one time instead of earning $70K in first week. Why don't you give away the ebook for free to 100 noobs and ask them to give you 50% share of any earnings they make?
    Obviously, the catch with ebook hawkers/peddlers/ scammers is that the ebook is useless and cannot make the $700 to $1K that you claim. If you are so certain of your called awesome methods/ techniques to magically help 100 people sell and make $70K to $100K in first week, why are you miserably asking for help on how to sell your ebook? If you are such a master of selling why do you need help from us all to sell your ebook?
    OR to give you benefit of the doubt, you may truly believe in your ebook that you are blind that the techniques in it are useless or obvious or which can be found for free everyone else.
    No offence but in short, you are either a A) scammer or B) blind bat trying to lead other blind gullible noobs.
    :)
