If you are setting up an
online business then sooner or later you will wonder whether
you should be writing and selling your own e-book. Here are
10 reasons why you should do it.
1. Brand Awareness When you write your own e-book and publish
it online, not only is there the prestige of being able to
call yourself a book author, there is also an increase in
brand awareness. Your audience will grow to recognize and
trust your name, they will perceive you as more of an expert
in your topic, and they will be more likely to purchase something
from you in the future.
2. Good Prices If you believe that electronic books always
sell for less than their paper counterparts, think again!
E-books are regularly selling for remarkably high prices.
If you don't believe me, have a browse at the e-book marketplace
at ClickBank. In this marketplace alone there are over 10,000
products for sale and many of them are e-books priced between
$20 and $50.
3. Low Production Cost E-books take an investment of time
during the development stage, but once they are finished they
don't cost anything to produce. There is no manufacturing
process required. You simply place the file on a web server
so that your customers can download it.
4. Low Delivery Cost E-books are almost free to store and
deliver. Have you ever worked in retail? Then you may know
what is involved in maintaining a storeroom, making deliveries
to customers, handling returns, and keeping track of all the
stock. When you sell e-books you need not worry about all
of that. You don't need any special storage space in your
office. You only need a few megabytes on your hardrive. And
you don't have to worry about any product returns!
5. Instant Delivery E-book delivery is instant and, like production
and storage, deliver of e-books costs virtually nothing. Most
customers download their e-book from the Internet immediately
after completing their payment.
6. High Profit Margins After reading the reasons given above,
you should not be at all surprised to learn that e-books have
very high profit margins. Once the e-book is written the only
real cost you will have is a small percentage for payment
processing fees.
7. Never Run Out of Stock You will never run out of stock.
That is, unless you accidentally delete your final copy of
the e-book… in which case you better talk very nicely indeed
to one of the customers who already purchased your e-book.
8. Instant Gratification Customers love to buy products that
they can receive immediately and selling e-books is a way
of providing this instant gratification. They allow you to
provide instant information, instant advice and instant solutions
to your readers. As you can see, e-books are truly a wonderful
tool for online businesses. Get started on your own e-book
right away.
