Many ebook authors include full, royalty-free resale rights with some of their products. This means that, when you buy their ebooks, you can use them for yourself and also sell them to others -- keeping 100% of profits.

By doing this, author of ebook benefits in two ways:   1. He/she increases value of ebook to   potential customer and, therefore, makes more sales   (at least in short term).   2. By being sold across a number of websites,   ebook will ultimately reach more people thus   increasing author's profile and credibility and   bringing more website traffic from links included in   ebook.

At least half websites out there that generate huge incomes from ebooks sell no 'original' titles of their own. They sell ebooks written by others -- ebooks with resale rights.

Whether you're already involved in ebook business or not, reselling other people's ebooks can be an excellent way to generate steady profits. Get in early on a 'hot new title' and you can really rake in a massive amount of money in a very short length of time.

Here's a good approach to getting started:

STEP 1 As soon as you hear about latest hot new ebook visit website.

STEP 2 On website evaluate ebook with these criteria in mind:   1. Does price include full resale rights?   2. Does deal include a full copy of sales page   complete with graphics?   3. Is sales page good? (Does is really make YOU   WANT product? If it doesn't work for you, it probably   won't work for others).   4. Is order handled by ClickBank? (see STEP 4 below   for reason this can be important)   5. Will your existing visitors or subscribers be interested   in this ebook (or do you think you can easily reach right target market)?

STEP 3 Go to a few major search engines like Google.com or AltaVista.com and run a search for ebook title. Are there a lot of websites already selling book? If yes, then it's been around for a while and you may not make big surge in income you'd expect from a brand new ebook. However, this is also an indication that it's popular, so it may be a good one to consider for more moderate, medium-term profits.

STEP 4 Once you've established that this ebook looks like a winner, it's time to get your own copy for resale.

There are a few things you should remember if you are going to write an ebook.

1. Just as your ezine should not be a giant ad, nor should your ebook. Be sure to fill it full of useful and valuable information.

2. Your ebook should be compiled in a simple, yet professional design. Make your ebook look good, but do not overdo. Make sure people can maneuver around book with ease.

3. Take time to do research and write an effective and informative ebook. Your ebook will be circulating around web and will say a great deal about you and your business.

4. Ebooks are a great giveaway for your visitors and/or subscribers. Everyone is looking for useful information which can be found in ebooks.

5. You should always use your first ebook as a giveaway. This will entice more people to read your ebook, which in turn will get more people to see how good it is. When you do write your first ebook to sell, you will have already established your reputation for writing a useful and informative ebook.

6. You do not have to be a writer to write an ebook. Just as with articles, all you need to do is gather, organize and outline your information. Always add resources and links when applicable. A good ebook for giveaway can be as simple as a collection of your articles or articles of other authors.
