The quickest way to make money from ebooks

If the idea of spending months, even years, laboring over your own books brings you out in a sweaty rash, if the techie side of it all sounds too daunting, or if you really need to start earning some money NOW, fear not. There is a way that you could start earning money from ebooks without writing or publishing one.

Go to the ‘Smashwords’ site and look up the details on ‘Affiliates’. This gives you the chance to earn about 11% of the net income simply by doing nothing more than opening an account, signing up as an affiliate, copying the relevant link for a book and then using that link in any adverts, letters, reports – whatever you can think of. Any sales that come from the link will automatically earn you the commission.

Don’t the authors mind about this? They spend hours slaving over their pride and joy – you simply point someone in the right direction, and get paid a pretty good slice of the sale.

Of course we don’t mind, The way the system works, we’ll still get more than if the sale had happened through one of the major distributors. You found the contact, so good luck to you! And most of us hope to sell more books to the same readers at a later date, so 11% of the income is a very small price to pay for your introduction.

And it works the other way round. If you’ve written an ebook, please do let me know. I can send the details to my mailing list and then pick up the 11% myself on any sales I make for you!

Simples.
