How to Make Money Creating E-Books

One of the keys to having a successful career making money online is to generate income even when you’re not working. That’s the critical difference between a regular job and being an Internet entrepreneur.

While it can be challenging and time-consuming to publish an actual book, the ebook market can be considerably easier to crack. Even then, the process can seem daunting and confusing from the outside. Can you make money from writing an ebook?

Helping you achieve this goal is Ebook Profits Unleashed, an e-book on how to make money writing and selling e-books. Go figure. Over the course of this review, we’ll take a look at what this e-book has to offer and whether it’s worth the asking price.

Who Is the Author?

There are many people out there who claim to be experts when they have no real knowledge at all. While it’s possible that author Jesse Regan has the experience and skills to create successful ebooks, he doesn’t really “sell” this in the “About the Author” section of the ebook:

Jesse Regan is fun loving, positive thinking family man who truly believes that anything is possible with the right mindset and a whole lot of action. In his spare time he enjoys rock climbing, biking, skiing, weightlifting, hunting, fishing, reading self development books and spending as much time as he can with his loved ones.

Personally, I think the section is better served by telling us why we should trust and believe the guidance being given by Regan. At this stage, I’m much less interested in his biking and fishing habits.

Website Conversions

Reading through this (quite long) discussion about conversion rates and found these nuggets inside:


They recommend having a refer-a-friend program.

Aaron: What type of traffic converts best?

Karl: Existing customers convert very well, as do visitors from refer-a-friend programs.

I’ve had mixed success with this myself, it’s very audience dependent (and works better with women than men), but it’s not hard to set up and when it works, it’s free traffic. I’ve had the most success with a program of incentivizing the referrals. It’s a bit harder to set up, but can be significantly more productive. An example I’ve had good luck with is: “Refer 5 friends and be entered in a drawing.”

They also touch on the value of giving your site extra credibility by using press mentions.

While working on a weight loss website that generates $5 million/year, we noticed that the company had a fantastic press testimonial that wasn’t prominently displayed on their website. By moving this information “above the fold”—and reformatting it—we managed to create an overnight 67% increase in sales.
