If this is your first time selling ebooks, it can be a forbidding thought. All around you there are literally hundreds of opportunities. Which ones should you take? Where do you get started?



Here are some tips.

Sell Ebooks On Your Website

The first thing I tell people who ask where to sell ebooks is to begin where you have the most control - on your own website. Or blog. Or forum.

Sure, you may not have a big, busy website in the beginning. But the enormous advantage you have over other places is that you are free to 'sell' your ebook using any method you like.

Want to write a one-page glowing review? You can do it. Prefer an over-hyped headline or classified ad? You're free to use it. Want to show a photo or two? Do it. Or feature testimonials from other buyers or reviewers? No one can stop you.

When you sell ebooks on other websites and places, you have limitations. But on your own web properties, you set the rules. That helps.

Sell Ebooks On High Traffic Resources

To sell ebooks, you need buyers. And everything else being equal, more visitors being exposed to your ebook will result in more buyers.

So try and get your ebook featured on high traffic resources. It is a lot better if there is some match or fit between the topic of your ebook and the nature of the audience arriving at the high traffic site - but even general interest websites with large crowds can sell a few copies of your ebook.

Sell Ebooks On Niche Sites

The other extreme is to get very targeted traffic to view your ebook sales page. So if you're wondering where to sell ebooks on bird-watching or growing tropical plants or polishing diamonds, the best places would be niche sites catering to these topics.

Audiences at these niche sites, even if not in large numbers, are more likely to buy your ebook. The higher 'conversion rate' makes up for smaller numbers - and you may actually end up making more sales and bigger profits from well targeted marketing to niche audiences.

Sell Ebooks in Newsletters

Ebooks sell well from endorsements and reviews that go out to targeted, trusting, responsive readers of newsletters and ezines. Look for publications where the editor or author has credibility and a following with his readers. An endorsement from such thought leaders can explode sales of your ebook.

Sell Ebooks Through Affiliates

By sharing a part of your profits with someone who helps you sell more copies, you are not losing money - you are making a smaller portion of a much larger total. Be proactive in attracting affiliates, especially those who understand how to sell ebooks and have a large following.

Sell Ebooks Offline

Classified ads in newspapers, flyers at tradeshows and exhibitions, direct mail offers, discount coupons in grocery stores and bulletin boards and visiting cards branded with your ebook selling website can all bring in trickles of sales for your ebook.

There are hundreds of other places where to sell ebooks, but don't get caught up in the confusion. Start with a handful. Track your results. Keep what works. Drop what doesn't' work, and replace it with other avenues. Very soon, you'll have a set of targeted, effective, profitable channels to sell ebooks and grow your profits steadily.
