You think it\'s simple. Just write your e-book, put up
a sales site, and wait for your retirement fund to roll in. Well, think
again! Once you\'ve written your e-book here are three ways to make
money.

1. Yes, you can just sell it as it is. Every time someone
buys your e-book you\'ll get your $17 or $27 and think yourself lucky!
But what about after the sale. What else can you sell your reader? You
could make more money by including affiliate links within your e-book.

Choose
products that are relevant and useful to your reader and cash in on
subsequent sales. Whatever the subject of your e-book you will be able
to find products that will be of interest. ClickBank is the best known
of the affiliate directories and a great place to start searching for
products you can offer. It may be that your readers would find links to
recommended physical products even more useful, and these can be found
by Googling Commission Junction. Think of it as adding value for your
reader: helping them to find products you know they\'ll be interested
in. Don\'t just throw in any old affiliate links, or you will be ruining
your reputation, and certainly not making any sales.

2. Give your
e-book away to build a list. Every Internet Marketing guru spouts
it...So it must be true! The money is in the list! And more and more,
potential subscribers want a very good reason to hand over their name
and e-mail address. The free e-book that you give away to people who
sign up to your subscriber list is a great way to introduce yourself
and your business in a positive and useful way. Make sure that you are
offering genuinely useful information, and not just giving people a
sales letter. Any long-term business is based on the trust between
seller and buyer, and it\'s never too early to establish that trust.

3.
Use your e-book as a bonus to sell a product you\'re offering as an
affiliate. Some popular products have many many affiliates competing
for the sale. Give your customers a reason to buy through you. This is
especially true of new product launches. When a new product comes on to
the market It will usually be offered to a large number of affiliates
to promote. It\'s more than likely that subscribers on your list are
also on the list of other sellers in the same business. It is also
likely that your subscribers will be offered the same product from more
than one source. A worthwhile bonus e-book can make all the difference
to you getting that sale, ahead of the competition.
