Making an easy “How to Make Money" or “How to Bake a Cake" EBook just isn’t going to cut it anymore. Just go to Ebay and type in “EBook" on the search bar, a couple thousand will show up, and that doesn’t even include the thousands upon on thousands that are located in some of the sellers’ Ebay stores.
Not all hope is lost however. Selling EBooks online can still be very beneficial – it just takes a little bit more time and effort. Unless you’re the luckiest guy on Earth, you are not going to make a living by selling only one, two, or three EBooks unless you are very established, credible, and highly well known. It’s just not happening in today’s world. Literally every subject that you can think about is already covered. To make money in the EBook world you have to have a plethora of different kinds of EBooks in your inventory.
The power sellers on Ebay that sell EBooks for a living, you will notice that most of them sell way more than a couple EBooks in their store – generally specializing in some topic. The best way to sell EBooks is to specialize not just in one topic, but a couple different topics that may be closely related to each other. But there is too much work involved in the EBook business nowadays – outsourcing your work is becoming an important factor in EBook sales and the sooner you do it the better.

How To Make Money Ebook
On your own, you could edit a shortened version of your book which, while still offering some of the useful knowledge, could be given away as an enticement to buy the full version. You will want to give them enough to convince them how much better the whole story will be. You could promote the book by taking a couple of chapters from it and promoting them as 'leaked chapters' to generate interest. This could be done by offering a carefully chosen sample chapter or pages. Another way to do this is to use the ebook as content for a newsletter and then charge a fee for the subscription to the newsletter, similar to what most magazines do. Offering regular updates to the work is another good way to publicize and promote your ebook.
Bundling your ebook with extra free offers will make it a more valuable purchase for your readers. Either find ebooks with similar topics or offer coupons to other products you may have. If you have an ebook product that links to affiliate sites that may profit you as well, then offering Master Resale Rights to your book can make it more attractive to those who are needing a product to sell. While your initial profits may not be as much, you are more likely to gain on the backend and the extra exposure from other people's promotion of your book will spread it much further than you could do alone.
Joint Venture partnerships with other ebook authors can gain you extra exposure as well. Even if you are offering your book to a select market for "free", the contacts you gain by this method gives you a ready market to pitch your next ebook creation to.
Depending on the nature of your ebook, you may be able to take the basic core and rework it to fit various niche markets. If your topic is something like Business Marketing, you can alter it to Retail, Wholesale or specific niche Business Marketing. Not only could this method create an entire "series" of books, it positions you as an expert in a multitude of fields.
While almost all ebooks are designed to be read on the computer screen, there are many who would like to be able to print it out and read it at their leisure. You could offer the option of purchasing an already printed out and bound copy of your book in addition to the digital version. The small extra cost of a simple binder, cover and shipping would be included in the price of this hands-on copy of your literary creation.
Be creative with your ebook promotions. Sometimes a novel marketing approach will interest prospective buyers more than the sales pitch you use to promote it.
