Once you have written an ebook or two, its is time to get involved in the marketing process. Let's face it, no one else has the drive to make the sales the way you will if you sell your own ebooks. Why? Because you want people to know you have it available, you want them to benefit from its information, or to be entertained by by the storyline. And my doing your own marketing, you can control who has easy access to your work, along with many other aspects.
If you would like, you can sell your own products on your MySpace or Facebook page, or you could even set them up with their own MySpace page. For best results, do both, and crate a page for the ebook, but continue to to link to it from your own page, your friends' pages, anywhere you can convince someone to provide you with a link. Aside from the ebook publisher, this should probably be your first sales approach.
The next step will be to establish a working relationship with blogs and message based forums.
If you can get people talking about your work, sales will increase, and since you know them better than anyone else, you are the best person to get the conversation started. You won't have to quote the ebook word for word, but talk about some of the main points, present interesting facts or amusing anecdotes, and generally encourage people to have an interest in the products without being pushy. After all, a person would rather come to the conclusion that your book can serve a purpose or solve a problem than have you tell them that your ebooks can do so. Remember, deciding they've had enough is only a click away, so treat people fairly and honestly, and give them useful content.There are literally thousands of places to sell your own information products.
