More specifically, you could actually make money by selling advertising space in the particular eBook that you're creating.

Here is an example. An eBook on how to plan a wedding on a budget. When talking about weddings we are talking about a multi-billion dollar industry. Do you not think some companies would want to be able to advertise their products or services to customers who just bought a product that their business is build around?

It may sound like a simple question and answer, but that is the question I want all of you to ask yourself. What kind of businesses would be interested in getting in front of the people you will be attracting? This should be one of those creative questions you constantly ask yourself.

So let's repeat it. What other businesses would be interested in getting in front of the target audience for which I would be attracting?

Once you start asking yourself this question all different businesses will come to mind. You may think of some of your competitors. You will also start to think of complimentary businesses who will want to provide their services and products to the particular market you're marketing to by purchasing ad space in your eBook.

Your ads could be scattered throughout, they could be right at the beginning, they could be at the end. Whatever. But it provides you a way to generate revenue by selling advertising within the actual eBook.

Adding value to your current costumers is also another thing you can do with your eBooks. For me I try to constantly work on developing and maintaining good relationships with the people on my email list. I don't have a big email list, but I have a great one.

I want to constantly add value to everyone on my list and all of my customers and one of those could be by compiling a very valuable eBook that summarizes or perhaps outlines the step by step procedures, or provides clarity on a particular topic that my email list may be desperate to find out.

I'm constantly trying to find win-win strategies to add value to you and vice versa, so that we can build a great relationship together.

Keep your eyes out for what your target market are wanting to know, or what business questions they may have. All you have to do then is develop an eBook outlining the procedure, give more information or answer they questions to solve that particular issue and they will see it as you providing great valuable information. This is something you should be constantly thinking about how you can boost your current relationships with your customers and an eBook is a great way to do this and selling advertising within it benefits you as well.

If you go into any business with that mindset, combined with a little creativity, you will quickly see all kinds of hidden opportunities for profit.

May ideas come to you when you need them most.
