Can You Really Make a Ton of Money Selling Downloadable Books?

by Virpi Tervonen on May 11, 2009

Since written communication was invented, books have been an extremely popular and valued means to share information. Today, with the help of the Internet, information can be shared in digital form, such as downloadable books, or e-books. 

There is an ever-increasing demand of information and knowledge, and therefore the online Information Marketing business has exploded during the past few years. Since starting a home-based Internet Marketing business is easy and demands very little capital, starting an Information Marketing business has made a great number of ordinary people very wealthy. It is not rare at all that a person who sells e-books online makes thousands in monthly profits. Many of these individuals are selling information that helps others cope with painful issues in their lives, such as divorce, improve their quality of life with self-help books, or get better at a hobby with a how-to book.  There are many best-selling e-books on how to negotiate the best price on a new or used car; how to save money on a mortgage; how to promote your professional services business; how to achieve financial independence; and many, many other topics. There are first-time authors who have generated over $10,000 in profit in less than a week!

But really, could you make tons of money selling any e-book online?

Bluntly put, no.  There is an abundant amount of money to be made in the Information Marketing business. Yet, to make good money selling e-books, you need to know something: a lot of people are skimping by with a few hundred dollars a month – or less. Many e-books don’t sell at all.  Why?  Indeed these people may have well conducted their market research before they rushed into creating the products and in the worst case scenario, may have taken months to write the e-book that is currently not selling.

The very basics of market research that enables you to create e-books that are destined to sell include the following three steps:

Step 1: Find out whether there are enough people seeking information about the topic online, and really need this information.

Step 2: Ask yourself whether this problem or desire is big enough that they’d be willing to pay money to solve their problem.

Step 3: Think through your solution: Can you provide these people with a good enough solution to their problem that they would consider it worth the money you are asking them to pay?

If you can sincerely help people even a little bit with what they are looking for, you can literally make as much money as you want with e-books. If you are a person who enjoys helping others, you should definitely not shy away from making money with it.
