eBook Profit Spiral

eBook directories are Websites that house free eBooks. These eBooks are usually put there by whoever owns the copyright to promote affiliate products.

Each eBook has the owners byline placed in it so that those who eventually read the eBook will know who wrote it (or at least who owns it). This byline enables future readers to contact the author, or to visit the author’s Website for further information.

In addition, the eBook will contain links to resources that are relevant to the eBook’s content. And, a number of these resources will be other eBooks, software and services that the author has signed up as an affiliate for.

When the eBook reader follows the affiliate link and purchases, the eBook author earns a commission.

eBooks directories are a great place to put your free and re-branded eBooks so that you can make money.

Rebranded eBooks are eBooks that you purchase or receive that allow you to enter some of your own profit-making link information.

By using eBook directories, you attract people who are interested in your product or service because they see your eBook.

And, as an author of the eBook, readers tend to view you as a subject matter expert. This motivates them to visit your Website to find out what else you have to say.

Even if you cannot write (or don’t know about an important subject, you can always hire a writer to do the work for you. Getting quality eBooks written will be expensive to begin with, but they will pay for themselves…either through direct sales from your Website, of from affiliate sales when other people sell the eBook for you for a piece of the profit, i.e., a commission. Once you recover the cost of the eBook writing, every sale from then on is pure profit.
