Which ebooks to sell.....

or should it be which ebooks WILL sell?

The ebook I bought from Tina at infotech, link below, contains over 40 ebooks which can be sold on as they contain re-sell rights. This means the writer has given permission to sell the item (no copyright issues).

Why do ebook writers let them be re-sold or given away? Most ebooks contain hyperlinks to websites, pay per click advertising or affiliate links which all have the potential to earn the writer money.

Selecting which ebooks to sell on eBay is critical to success. There is a listing fee for eBay sales which means you need to offer ebooks which people want to buy and at the right price. It really is worth spending a few hours researching what sells and for how much. What is the competition like and can you afford to sell for the same price or less?

You can use eBay advanced search to browse live ebook listing and also check completed listings to find out which are actually selling and for how much. You can get a feel for popular titles.

In addition to offering the ebooks that came free with Tina's ebook, I purchased a few specialist titles including "How to claim free UK land and property" and "10 steps to a Google Friendly Page". These are both of interest to me personally and once I had read them I decided that they would be of interest to others. This turned out to be very true as Claim Land ebook is by far the most popular title.

I also purchased 15000 ebooks on a DVD for a small sum, many of which turned out to be duplicates and not much use, but I have a lot more to get through!!

It is very important you read the ebooks yourself before you sell them. IF you sell rubbish you WILL get no or bad feedback and grief, it really isn't worth it.

I am currently considering which titles to add to my inventory but due to the effort and listing fees required, I am selecting which ones will give me the greatest return.

In the next installment I will talk a bit about the importance of creating a good eBay advert and eBay / website identity.
