* Idea 7, Make money from selling digital products

Products can be divided into two different type- physical products, which can be touched, and digital products, which can not be touched. It is something like hardware and software but I like to use physical and digital products in this case.

The shoes you are wearing, physical product, can be touched. If you sell your shoes, you get money but you lose your shoes. If you want to sell thousands of shoes, you have to make thousands of shoes. The more you want to sell, the more you have to invest and the more you need to handle. If somebody orders your shoes from Japan, you have to send it to long distance by shipping.

In digital product, such as your music file, video file or e-books in you computer can be copied millions of times from a single file. If you create one digital product, you can sell millions of them. You get money but you never lose your digital product.

You no need to invest it any more. If somebody orders your digital product, you do not need to physically deliver; you just send the digital product to the buyer via email - which allows the seller to make money in his sleeping time.

One of the major benefits of creating digital product is that the work you did once can potentially earn you income for the rest of your life. Digital products give you excellent profit margin, once you have created it. Because you do not need to manufacture them, or stock them, or pack them, your profit margin is just above 100%. There is no inventory to maintain or any form of delivery hassles because it can be delivered automatically and instantly once the readers makes his or her purchasing funds available.

That is why so many people are selling e-books, music and software over the internet. If you are a good writer, you write e-books and sell on internet. If you can create music in your own, you can sell them on internet. If you are very good programmer, you find out niche market and create software for that market and then sell them on internet.

Here, I only emphasis on e-books.

How to create e-Book?

If you're thinking of selling e-books to make money online, you sell your own e-book or you sell affiliate e-books and just earn commission. You also can sell both. If you write and create your own e-book no one else will be selling anything quite like it. You've got a unique product that will draw attention since no one will have seen it before. As long as you do your research first, you could make a lot of money from one e-book alone.

So, first thing's first -

how do you decide what to write an e-book about?

If you are good in none of technological field but very good in attracting girls or boys, you write e-books " How to attract girls" or " How to attract boys" and sell on internet. If you are very good in a particular session but you don't know how to write, you just learn some tips to create e-books and you can create in your own. You can earn thousands to millions dollars if you can create good e-books.

Another vital note is that you don't require a university degree to be able to write eBooks that would sale. It is even best if you can write very simple and factual book because many people would welcome online books that are written in very simple-easy-to-read manner. If you have decided to start creating your eBook today, you need a step-by-step guide that would put your through in less than 30 minutes.

Writing your first ebook may seem like a daunting task. But like many projects, it won't seem so bad when it's broken down into manageable chunks. Not all projects are successful, so don't be too disappointed if your first ebook isn't a best seller. Whatever the outcome of your first ebook, you can at least say 'You did it'.

If you want to play golf, you will need clubs, balls and some practice. There's no guarantee you will become another Tiger Woods but you will become a golfer.

If you want to write an ebook, you will need a computer, software and some directions. Assuming you have a computer and software or access to them, here are some directions.

Establish Your Reasons

Your reasons for wanting to write an ebook will have a major impact on your success. It may be for financial gain, promoting a business, advancing your career, education, self satisfaction or something entirely different. Whatever your reasons, write them down. It will help to motivate you if the going gets tough.

Choose Your Subject

There are countless subjects that you can write about. It's wise to choose something you have an interest in or knowledge of. It is worthwhile spending time on this. The more you know about your subject, the easier it will be to write about.

Choose Your Title

After you've chosen your subject, you'll need a title for the ebook. It's worth writing down a few different ones before deciding on the one you'll use. This will help to keep your focus and may give you some other ideas. The title should give a clear indication of the content in your book. A catchy title may help to sell it, but remember to balance this with clarity to keep it in context.

Choose Your Audience

The subject and style of your writing will determine your audience. Decide who your desired audience will be. Age, gender, culture, social background and education are factors you may want to consider. What you write should be targeted at your desired audience.

Write Your Statement

Although it's possible to write your ebook without a 'thesis statement', it is not recommended. If you are unfamiliar with this term, there are many sources available that will provide you with all the details you need. Unfortunately, there are some differences of opinion that may lead to confusion.Write down the foundation for your ebook. It should contain the following:
1) Your subject
2) Your opinion on the subject
3) A supporting reason for your opinion

Create Your Document

Now that you have the foundation, you can begin writing. A standard application like MS Word is a good choice. Choose the format and layout of your document, including chapters, headings and introductions. Dependent on your subject, you may wish to add photographs, anecdotes or testimonials that keep the reader's attention. For cover design, you can do it yourself or get a good artist to design for you.

Convert your word document into Adobe PDF format using the Adobe Acrobat Reader.
Now, you have newly created e-book in your own. You need to sell your digital product.

How to sell your e-book?

You need to create a website to bring your e-book to in front of your audience. In order to do this, you need to attract more visitors to your website. You can do marketing from social networking sites such as face books, twitter, myspace,... and so on. The most effective and expensive way is Search Engine Marketing.

If you are very tired to do so many things, you can ask somebody else to do affiliate marketing for you. You just give him affiliate commission. The more you give him commission, the more he work hard for you.

For e-books beginners, I have created a space in this website. There are a lot of visitors here. You do not need to do marketing yourself. You send your e-books in sell e-book session. Our human editors read through your e-book and sell e-book for you. But your e-book price should be cheaper than professional e-book price.


Case Study : SENZE, make money blogging

When he was a student, all ever wanted to do when he finished his studies and joined the work force was something he would really enjoy doing. He qualified as a "Barrister-at-law" from Lincoln's Inn, UK in 1990, and returned to Malaysia that same year.

He started practicing as lawyer and enjoyed it for a while, until he began to question the tediousness of preparing legal documentation that took too long and was eating into his legal secretaries' time unnecessarily.

Until he saw the power of the Personal Computer and the right piece of Word Processing software. Up until then legal forms were still being typed in manual typewriters that weighed a tone. That PC was an IBM compatible, and the powerhouse of a Word Processing software at that time was WordPerfect 5.1. After he using PC, he can reduce more than 50% reduction in time. So, he began enjoying his career as a lawer, pleased with the progress he had made with his first automation project.

After a few months, he was completely exhausted for working 10-12 hours a day. At this time, his dream was to have a job that he would enjoy doing; one with all tasks that could be automated; one that wouldn't require me to work such long hours, and one where the responsibility was less heavy to lessen the stress on his heart and mind.

He decided to quit the legal profession and join an internet company specializing in selling business information over the internet to investors from all over the wold interested in investing in Malaysia and elsewhere in the Asia pacific region, way back in 1995.

For a while he thought he had found his dream job. He was learning about the internet and how to use it to make money and this was a time when there were only 40 million internet users in the world.

Then the economic crisis hit Asia badly and suddenly in 1997.
Very few companies were spared from going under, as the chain reaction was so quick and so swift that most employees were forced to take drastic action to either find another job or do something else.

With office premises, equipment and staff to pay for, it didn't take too long for him to enter the "danger zone" in terms of the monetary resources that he had. This period was the most painful time of his life. He had no business that he badly needed to keep himself from going under.

And so he had another dream.

He wanted a business with no employees, no premises, full automation and high profit margins. This goal became all-consuming for him, and he looked everywhere for it.

In the meantime, he went back into employment for about 2 years working for a huge IT company as their E-Commerce manager dealing with Business-to-Business solutions. But the longer he stayed there, the stronger his latest dream become.

Then one day, he found the solution to his dream. He would make money on the internet by selling products off his website without the need for me to deliver them, hire employees, rent expensive office spaces, or spend long hours working it, and enjoy it thoroughly at the same time.
