With it now being 2009 and a new year. Hopefully this will be the first full year of CD ROM sales rather than digital delivered eBooks.

Anyway, I just wanted to share with you and your readers how my sales have changed since the digital delivery ban came in.

I am selling more products and also for a higher value. I sell several items at £9.99 each, and het a few sales each month. I wouldn’t have dreamed of getting £9.99 for an ebook when it was digitally deliered. In November 2008, I done over £200 worth of sales. That is the first time I hit £200. I am going to keep growing my inventory, and in 2009 I know sales will get even better.

Marc Sampson.

If you sell ebooks on ebay why can’t the buyer be given a link to your own ebook site and make the purchase from there instead of having to ship a CD?

This is definitely an opportunity to sell ebooks and (originally) digital products to the masses on eBay an for more. I go into selling on eBay and how to Make Money On The Internet on my blog.

Thanks

I did not think right. I must be a moron. As soon as I sent it, I have figured out how to make physical product from e-books which you included into website of your product. So, please, ignore my questions of Sept.20. I am reading now your 7 days course and I like it so far. Thank you.

What felt like a fatal blow has indeed turned out to be opportunity. I’d just starting seeing some results of starting an ebook business on eBay when the axe fell.

However, these months later, I’m building my ebooks on CD biz, increasing sales a bit each month and picking up some subscribers. Since I’m fortunate enough to be a Monthly Mentorship subscriber, I’ve had great help in getting through the restart pains.

It’s clear that a great many of the folks relying on digital delivery just packed it in, leaving us in much better shape. Now, to get the upsell/backend finessed…

It’s taking a bit more work, I’m more concerned with the quality of what I’m putting out there, but I’d say the change is definitely in the opportunity column.

Also, the website in your product certainly cannot be expected in the first 10-20 in Google and it means that selling all those e-books outside of Ebay will be a very hard task. How do you expect your customers to use the website that they got in “Your own e-book business”? To buy all those e-books? Or to promote it to the first 10 in the Google which is not possible for a novice? I would appreciate your advice.
