eBook Secrets Exposed

by Jim Edwards and David Garfinkel

If you want to make a lot of money with your own e-book and you only read one book on the subject in the next 12 months, I strongly recommend that it's eBook Secrets Exposed by Jim Edwards and David Garfinkel.

The authors are both well qualified in this area. Jim Edwards has written five best-selling ebooks (including The Lazy Man's
Guide To Online Business and 33 Days To Online Success).

David Garfinkel is considered by many to be the world's greatest copyrighting coach. He's an award-winning business journalist and is also the author of several best-selling ebooks, such as Advertising Headlines That Make You Rich and Killer Copy Tactics.

There have been so many books on this subject that I really
couldn't imagine how this book could add anything new.

But I have never before seen an ebook that explains so clearly
how to do it. I got the feeling that you could literally walk in
Jim Edwards' footsteps and get the same results he did (over
4,500 e-book sales in 9 months).

What makes this book very readable and enjoyable is that it's
simply a long interview - David Garfinkel asks the questions and
Jim Edwards gives the answers.

The book is packed with so many 'insider tips' that's it's
difficult to know where to begin, but one of the most valuable
tips is how to find out - before you write your book - if
there's a market for it.

You do this by following Jim Edwards' 5-Step 'Ultimate ebook
Success Formula'. The formula allows you to find out if there's
a target audience that is already actively looking for the
information you're about to sell online. And if so, if they are
prepared to pay for it.

One of the interesting things you'll discover in this book is
that competition is actually good for your ebook.

If you come up with an idea for an ebook and you find that there are no competing books, you need to get worried - it means there's probably no market for that idea.

But if there are books competing with yours, you're on safe
ground - you know you have a market.

And don't be put off by competition: anyone who is serious about a particular subject will buy at least 4 or 5 books on that
topic.

Many ebook authors who make big money quickly with their ebooks do resale rights. Instead of making $29 per sale, they're making $99 per sale. As you can see, resale rights can get you into serious money very fast.

But there are definite pitfalls with resale rights (such as
finding out a few months later that your cherished information
product has become a free ebook). If you want to avoid these
pitfalls, you need to read Section 2 carefully.

You might think that best-selling ebook authors don't bother
with affiliate programs. Wrong!

Jim Edwards shows you that one of secrets to making money with your ebook is to load it up with back-end affiliate links. But
there's a right way to do this and a wrong way (more about this
in Section 5).

But the real secret to how Jim Edwards made over $40,000 in one month from a single e-book is joint ventures - finding people
with lists of 10,000 or even 100,000 and getting them to do a
personal recommendation to their readers.

On the Internet it's not products that make money, it's lists
(products don't sell, lists do). Or as Jim Edwards puts it: 'the
power is in the pipes, in the distribution'.

Let's say your ebook is priced at $29 and you find someone with a list of 10,000 and they do a mailing that results in 3000
people turning up at your website.

And let's say that those 3000 visits result in 90 to 180 sales -
you and your joint venture partner are suddenly making thousands of dollars in a few days.

Jim Edwards shows you exactly, step-by-step, how to set up a
joint venture. He even shows you the exact same letter that he
used to set up joint ventures for his book 'How To Write and
Publish Your Own ebook in a little as 7 Days'.

One of the keys to making joint ventures work is what Jim
Edwards calls 'the Santa Claus technique' (more on that in
Section 2).

A question many people have is how to price their ebook. And
it's crucial that you get this right. In Section 4 Jim Edwards
reveals his 'pricing formula' - a very clever way to find your
ebook's 'breakpoint' or equilibrium.

There's another very valuable tip in Section 17 - 'My Secret
Method For Slashing Refunds' (this tip on it's own could be
worth the price of the whole book).

This is the best book on ebook publishing I've read in the last
18 months - in fact, while reading it, I came up with the idea
for my next ebook!
