One way of making money online via the internet is to create your own ebook and market them with clickbank.com.
Use your own Knowledge… What are you passionate about, what are your hobbies What do you enjoy doing, what are you knowledgeable about?
Literally there are thousands of subjects you could write about. All you need to do is to start thinking laterally.
Research Is The Key! Before you set about writing and producing your own information product you need to ask yourself Is there any market for this product? Are people searching online for it? Does the market you are promoting to look for JUST free products or are they willing to buy your product?
Who are your target customers, what are their ages, interests, hobbies, wants, desires and dislikes? What are they trying to achieve by buying your product, what needs do they want satisfying?
Here is a tentative list of things you should be thinking about:
* What is the PURPOSE of the eBook?
* What does it do?
* How does it work?
* How is it used?
* How much does it cost?
* Any Free information with it?
* Are there any Guarantees?
* What are the FEATURES of the product? All facts and specifications.
* What are the main BENEFITS?
* What’s In It For Me (WIIFM)?
* What specific problem(s) does it solve?
* What need(s) does it fulfil?
* How will it make or save me money?
* Save time, work or worry?
* Make my life easier or better?
Stuck for Ideas??? If you’re still struggling for ideas, then head along to http://www.clickbank.com/, click on marketplace in the top right of the screen and start looking through the categories of ebooks.
Another great resource to help you search through Clickbank is http://www.cbengine.com/ (More about this in a future tutorial)
Let’s have a look for an example together: Go to Clickbank > Market Place > Home and Family > Parenting
Can you see how many eBooks and informational products are listed here?
Let’s take an existing eBook – Solving the Bullying Problem (REMEMBER that’s the only eBook you could see listed at Clickbank on how to stop bullying?). If you are able to write an eBook on bullying or even cyber bullying then you should be able to make a fair few sales of the product.
There is no point writing an eBook that is no good. Really work hard on publishing good quality content. If you work hard enough, you could find all the resources on Bullying or Cyber Bullying, learn all about the subject and then write your own guide on how to stop bullying.
If you don’t have time to research and write it yourself and you have some cash to invest, then go along to http://www.elance.com/ and hire a ghost writer to write and package the eBook for you.
Note: The only downside to doing this is that you can’t control the quality of content that the writer is going to produce and you can’t be sure that the writer hasn’t ripped the content out of another book. Make sure you do your research on any ghost writers, look at their portfolios and check their past work and references, remember, the more time and effort you put on identifying a good writer, the better you will get at the end.

Ok… So you have produced your eBook! What now??
You have either written your eBook yourself, paid someone else to do it for you, or even spoken with a friend who is an ‘expert’ on the subject, and you are going to do a Joint Venture on the eBook. You are going to market it and your friend is the writer.
The next step is to choose the title of the eBook… Let’s call it ‘How to Stop cyber Bullying’. Register a domain name similar to the title, e.g. howtostopcyberbullying.com and set up your hosting account. (By the way, at the time of writing this, the above domain name has not been registered, so if your quick…)
