8 Creative Ways to Make Money With eBooks

By Jeremy Gislason

How creative are you when it comes to making money and increasing your customers by using eBooks or other digital products? If you are like most business owners, the answer is probably "not very." Here are some ways to increase your profits by marketing content you already have.

1. Show your prospects a sample page out of your ebook. This will make them curious to buy.

2.

Divide your ebook content into individual reports and give people the option of just purchasing the information they want. Or charge people a discounted price to read half of your ebook. If they like it, they can pay full price to read the other half.

3. Sell monthly updates of your ebook and earn extra profits. You could also back-sell the extra, never released chapters of your ebook.

4. Redesign your ebook for specific niches. By doing so, you can create multiple profits with very little work. For example, turn a business ebook into a craft business ebook. You could also divide your ebook into online newsletter issues and charge a reoccurring monthly subscription for people to view each issue. Read more Promotional Ideas for Your Small Business.

5. Give your prospects discount coupons on other products — either your own or your business partners' — when they purchase your ebook. You could also offer freebies that are related to the ebook you are selling, like free monthly ebook updates, a free ezine, free consulting, and so on.
