When you are building your eBook business funnel do you want to have an inventory of unrelated products? Absolutely not! That is an inventory, not a funnel. The purpose of a funnel is to use it to lead your customers through your marketing process so that they slowly begin to build trust and a relationship with you and your business.
Therefore every product that you implement and every marketing strategy that you employ should have an end goal in mind of moving people through your marketing funnel. Lots of people should enter the top part of the funnel through your lower priced products. A lower amount of people should move to the middle of your funnel with your middle priced products. A small minority should be at the end of your funnel with your higher priced products.
Do not feel that you have to restrict yourself to a certain product type. For instance, I sell the same product in 3 different formats. I sell it as a physical book, an audio book and an electronic book. I sell it at three separate prices and they all sell well.
What ties the funnel together for your eBook business is your newsletter. Your newsletter is how you truly capitalize and maximize your income. What your newsletter does is it builds that relationship with your subscribers on your behalf by providing value to them. This value builds trust and trust allows your prospects to move deeper and deeper into your marketing funnel.
As one final thought, the biggest purpose of my funnel is that it allows me to communicate my life?s passion. My life?s passion is to see as many people as possible come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ in their life. I believe by helping people create real home business opportunities; this will give me an opening to share Christ. Of course, if I am able to make money on the internet from this, it is just icing on the cake!

How A Mini-Course Helps EBook Business Owners Sell Information Products
Would you like to know the one thing you can add to your web site today that will help you to increase your ability to sell information products?
There are a lot of things you can do but one of the best things is to offer website visitors a mini-course on the first page of your web site. You do not want to distract your website visitors with an onslaught of options. Offer them a mini-course that hits a hot item for your prospects and they are very likely to want that course and come back to find out everything else that you have to offer.
In order to get your mini-course, the visitor has to provide you with their first name and email address. Some real online business owners also ask for their biggest question about the topic of interest. A mini-course is better than a free report or a newsletter because they have to provide a correct email address in order to get the actual course. It also builds curiosity as long as you make sure that the course answers a very specific question that people in the niche you serve want answers to.
The strength of the mini-course over other methods used to sell information products is that it lowers the resistance to receive emails. With most other forms of email marketing you are restricted to mailing your list once a week or month. However, with a mini-course you can email them every few days.
As an example, if you wrote a mini-course about direct mail you would split it up into several parts. In the 1st part you can cover the initial package that you send to your prospects. The 2nd part might cover how to split test your mail packages, etc.
A mini-course does not necessarily have to have unique content. You can use content that you used from a blog, article submissions or even transcribed audio or video content and include it as different parts to your mini-course.
A mini-course is not designed to be a thesis. It should be broken down into different, smaller pieces. Otherwise if you try to provide too much information in one shot, the prospects simply will not want to read the rest of the course and they will unsubscribe from you.
The bottom line to having success when you sell information products with a mini-course is to make sure you provide valuable information in bite-sized pieces. This will keep the interest level high and will make your web site visitors want to know more about what you have to offer.

Master How To Sell Information With EBooks
by Stephen Beck
You have put all of your hard work into creating your eBook and now you want to know how to make money with it. The key to mastering how to sell information is to understand the features of an electronic book and how to drive sales to it.
Driving sales is critical in your internet marketing business. Having a cool web site if you dont make money on the internet is pointless. Having an eBook that includes the following will help increase your sales:
1. Title Page and Copyright Information
The title page is the first area your customers are going to see so its important that it is formatted properly. A good cover graphic makes a great impression, but you can also go with just regular or bold text font. What you do not want to forget is to include your copyright.
2. The Body
The body is the heart of your eBook business. You want to make sure that the information you include in the body is relevant and valuable to the niche you are serving. If not, expect lots of refunds and lots of complaints.
3. Clickable Links
This is an area that many people neglect and they dont even realize how much this is costing them. Clickable links allow your readers to view additional information online that can give you the opportunity to make more money. Its not enough to have the link itself. It must be clickable; otherwise the readers typically wont visit the web site.
4. Resource Box
The resource box allows you to brand yourself along with making additional money as well. In your resource box, you should include information about yourself and your company. Make sure you include resources that the niche you are serving with your eBook would be interested in. Otherwise, you wont get the results you are looking for.
5. Free Bonuses
People love getting a deal and one of the best ways to make them feel like they are is to provide a bonus. Your bonus could be an additional report, a pre-recorded audio or even a video. When promoting a bonus, assign a monetary value to it (i.e. what would you charge if you were to sell it). In many cases your bonuses alone is worth more than what the buyer is paying for the main product.
By focusing in and including these five areas you will master how to sell information. These five features of your eBook drive the overall sales process and ensure that you maximize your ability to make money on the internet. Neglecting them limits the amount of success you can have.

Are You Looking For A Christian Home Based Business?
by Stephen Beck
There are a number of different money making ideas that you can implement if you are looking to start a Christian home based business. While you can certainly own a business that allows you to promote products that advance your faith it is not necessary. The key is that you have a business that reflects values of your faith and not contradicts the principles of your faith.
One option is to start a Christian home based business that offers for sale pdf ebooks or actually physical books that deal with Christian topics and principles. While you can certainly write a book from scratch or hire a ghostwriter to write one for you, there are a number of options available to you if you do not want to create a complete new work from scratch, like tapping into the public domain.
How do you tap into the public domain? All you have to do is find a work that is in the public domain that is related to Christianity or Christian principles. Next, you make some slight changes, modifications, revisions or additions to the work. This in affect makes it a new work. Now you can sell this product under a new copyright as your own product.
So what constitutes whether something is a part of the public domain or not? The public domain consists of any creative work in which the original author or creator no longer has an exclusive copyright to the work. This usually consists of works that were created many years ago where the copyright has expired or works created by the United States government.
For example, the King James Bible is considered part of the public domain. What this means is that you can take the text of the Bible, use it to create pdf ebooks or physical books and sell them for profit as your own book. This is how many of the study Bibles are created. They simply contain the biblical text with additional study comments.
Suppose you do not want to go through the process required to write an ebook or physical book even if it is based on a public domain work? You can still make money online by promoting other peoples products as an affiliate. The way this works is a company that sells a product will pay you a commission if you can refer other people to buy that product. When they buy that product you get paid.
Even if you do not want to sell Bible or Christian related works, you can also start a Christian home based business that simply has a basis on Christian principles. One example of this is a network marketing business. In this business model the way you make the most money is to meet certain sales goals and help others meet those sales goals by serving others. Just make sure you research the company and be sure it is not a scam.
There are many moneymaking ideas available to you if you are looking to start a Christian home-based business. Just decide whether you want to sell Christian products specifically or have a business that is based on these values.

The Key to Online Profits By Creating An Ebook
by Stephen Beck
One of the best ways to create online profits for yourself is to create your own information product and sell it online. Many people overestimate how difficult this process is. However, there are many ways you can create an information product rather quickly.
What is an information product? It is any product that delivers information to a customer. It can be in the form of a pdf ebook, an audio or mp3 file or even a video. Since it is easier to write an ebook that is what we will focus on.
The first step for success when you write an ebook is to take the time out to pick out a strong market. Don't just pick a market that you have an interest in. Make sure that others have an interest in this market as well.
When you write ebooks, you need to make sure you focus your ebooks on a specific topic and not try to be too general. Otherwise, you won't generate the interest you need and your project will most likely fail.
What's the best way to select a market for your pdf ebooks? The best way is to choose a market with people who are fanatical about their interest and have the money and the willingness to spend to address their interest. One example is the scrapbooking market.
People who participate in scrapbooking take their hobby very seriously. They are constantly searching for new information on how to do their hobby better. There are already many successful companies who are currently catering to this niche and you can as well.
In addition to their passion, the scrapbook market is a proven market that people spend money on. Scrapbooking is literally a billion dollar industry when you take a look at the amount of money people spend on scrapbooking materials as well as books and information and classes on the topic.
By creating an information product to help scrapbook creators design and create the perfect scrapbook you meet a huge need to a hungry market. You can write ebooks and they are willing to spend the money to solve the problem of creating the perfect scrapbook for them.
Keep in mind that scrapbooking is only one example. There are literally thousands, if not millions of other markets that have very similar characteristics as the scrapbooking market that you can write ebooks for.
Once you have selected your market, the next step is to select your topic and write an ebook for it. With your topic you want to focus on a specific area. So with scrapbooking, instead of writing an ebook on how to create the perfect scrapbook, you might choose to instead focus on selecting the right paper or creating the perfect album.
Finally, you want to write an ebook on the topic. The most common and effective format for an ebook is to use the format of pdf ebooks. These types of ebooks can be read on any type of computer and can be created using any Word Processor combined with a pdf creator. You can also make an audio recording of your ebook and give it to a transcriber to convert it into a pdf ebook for you.
The key to online profits when you write an ebook is to simply write ebooks for the right market. You also want to choose a specific topic and get the ebook created. Once you do these things, all you have to do is market it and you will begin to make money on the internet.

Four Points to Online Profits from PDF Ebooks
by Stephen Beck
Whenever you operate a business in which you market pdf ebooks or facilitate ebook publishing you need to be aware of what determines how much money you make. By understanding this process you will know what changes you can try to make more money from your business.
In the ebook publishing business there are 4 profit points that have the biggest impact on how much money you are going to make. By identifying what these profit points are and what you can do to improve them, you will unlock the key to identifying how to make more money selling pdf ebooks.
The process for how to create an ebook is the first profit point. The key to this process is to identify the costs associated with it and how to decrease these costs. The costs are either financial costs if you spend money to get your pdf ebooks created or time costs if you write ebooks yourself.
So how do you generate more online profits in this area? You do it by identifying ways you can write an ebook quicker. One way you can do this is to leverage private label rights products. By editing these products instead of creating your own from scratch you produce pdf ebooks faster.
The second profit point is the way you deliver the ebook to the person who buys it. If you want to have very little costs associated with this process you should have an online delivery process. If you believe physical delivery is better for your business, look for ways you can reduce the delivery costs.
The third profit point is in the way you market your ebook or generate traffic to your web site. Regardless of whether you use free traffic generation strategies or you pay for your traffic there are several points in the process that affect your profits. Like your ebook creation process, free traffic strategies have time costs that may take you away from higher payoff activities.
One of the first areas you want to look at is to examine every method that you use currently to promote your ebooks online. For all strategies that have a cost, you can identify ways to reduce the costs. For all free strategies, you can figure out ways to get more traffic for the same time or more traffic faster.
Profit point four is the process of your sales page or the web site in which you sell your pdf ebooks. You would be amazed at how small changes to your web site can have a dramatic impact on whether people buy from you or not. Changes such as graphics, background color, how the information is laid out all impact how many sales you will make.
While there are a lot of areas that you can focus on to improve the overall profitability of your web site, the fastest strategy is to look at your headline. The reason why is because the headline determines whether the visitor continues to read or clicks to another web site. By testing different headlines you can determine the best headline to use for your visitors.
Now that you know the 4 profit points to generating online profits you now have the information that you need to make more money from your ebook publishing business. Its now up to you to take this information, apply it and use it to help you make more pdf ebook sales at the highest price possible for the lowest cost possible.

A PDF Ebooks Real Home Business Without Being Able To Write?
by Stephen Beck
Starting an ebook publishing business can be an extremely profitable real home business. However, many people are held back by the fact that they cannot write very well. Contrary to popular opinion, the ability to write well is not necessary in order to start a business like this. There are several ways you can do this without writing well.
Obviously you need to have pdf ebooks to sell if you are going to have your own ebook publishing business. However, the question is how do you get these ebooks that you are going to sell if you arent the one writing the ebooks. The good news is there are many ways to get these ebooks without you having to write ebooks.
The most common approach and the way most people get started in the ebook publishing business is to become an affiliate for someone elses pdf ebooks business. Many businesses will pay you at least 50% commissions while some will pay you 75% or even 100%. All you have to do is drive traffic to their web site and when someone purchases you make money.
Another way you can earn money without having to know how to create an ebook is to take advantage of other peoples ebooks that offer resale rights. There are two types of resale rights. You have regular resale rights and master resale rights. The difference is the master lets you sell the book and the rights to sell the book.
How does this approach allow you to make money? Once you have the rights to sell the ebook, these products become a part of your own product inventory. You can sell them for whatever price you decide without having to split the profits with another business owner. This allows you to have your own inventory of products to market for your own business.
The third most common approach is to purchase what are called private label rights products. With these products, not only do you have the right to sell or sell the rights, but you also have the right to make changes. This is the ultimate form of leverage because now you can modify the product to meet your needs.
The fourth most common approach is to interview an expert. This allows you to leverage the knowledge of someone else and develop content without you necessary having to be a good writer. You simply format the pdf ebooks in the form of an interview and now you dont have to worry about writing well per say.
Yet another approach to creating ebooks is to take advantage of freelance services. A freelancer can actually write the ebook for you. They do all of the work and you get to put your name on the ebook as if you were the one that actually wrote it. This is the ultimate form of leverage and you would be amazed at how many best selling books that are written using this method.
By utilizing these five strategies you can produce your very own inventory of pdf ebooks for your ebook publishing business. As you can see, you dont even need write any of the ebooks yourself. This is the ultimate form of leverage in your business.

Starting an ebook publishing business can be an extremely profitable real home business. However, many people are held back by the fact that they cannot write very well. Contrary to popular opinion, the ability to write well is not necessary in order to start a business like this. There are several ways you can do this without writing well.
Obviously you need to have pdf ebooks to sell if you are going to have your own ebook publishing business. However, the question is how do you get these ebooks that you are going to sell if you arent the one writing the ebooks. The good news is there are many ways to get these ebooks without you having to write ebooks.
The most common approach and the way most people get started in the ebook publishing business is to become an affiliate for someone elses pdf ebooks business. Many businesses will pay you at least 50% commissions while some will pay you 75% or even 100%. All you have to do is drive traffic to their web site and when someone purchases you make money.
Another way you can earn money without having to know how to create an ebook is to take advantage of other peoples ebooks that offer resale rights. There are two types of resale rights. You have regular resale rights and master resale rights. The difference is the master lets you sell the book and the rights to sell the book.
How does this approach allow you to make money? Once you have the rights to sell the ebook, these products become a part of your own product inventory. You can sell them for whatever price you decide without having to split the profits with another business owner. This allows you to have your own inventory of products to market for your own business.
The third most common approach is to purchase what are called private label rights products. With these products, not only do you have the right to sell or sell the rights, but you also have the right to make changes. This is the ultimate form of leverage because now you can modify the product to meet your needs.
The fourth most common approach is to interview an expert. This allows you to leverage the knowledge of someone else and develop content without you necessary having to be a good writer. You simply format the pdf ebooks in the form of an interview and now you dont have to worry about writing well per say.
Yet another approach to creating ebooks is to take advantage of freelance services. A freelancer can actually write the ebook for you. They do all of the work and you get to put your name on the ebook as if you were the one that actually wrote it. This is the ultimate form of leverage and you would be amazed at how many best selling books that are written using this method.
By utilizing these five strategies you can produce your very own inventory of pdf ebooks for your ebook publishing business. As you can see, you dont even need write any of the ebooks yourself. This is the ultimate form of leverage in your business.

Create An Ebook Publishing Real Home Business
by Stephen Beck
Starting a real home business selling pdf ebooks can be a very profitable venture. There are a number of advantages a pdf ebooks business can offer that are vastly superior to a traditional business. It is a true business that you can run from your own home.
What are the benefits to operating a home-based business marketing digital products? The first benefit is low overhead. If you were to own your own physical bookstore, there would be a tremendous amount of overhead you would have to worry about.
With a traditional business there are significant costs and investments required to keep that business operating. You typically have to have a lot of customers just to cover your monthly expenses, much less make a significant profit. A PDF ebooks business can put you in profit mode with a relatively small amount of customers.
A digital products business doesn't have anywhere near that type of overhead. You can operate the business out of your own house with no inventory and no employees. The reason why you don't need any inventory is because your products are digital and they are located on the Internet. Therefore, they don't have to be stored in your house.
Another aspect to having this type of business is how much money you can make. When you first get started, most of your investments occur when you write an ebook or create the product you are going to be marketing. Your investment can be in the form of time or it can be in the form of money.
Once your final product is created your main investment required to get your business up and running is in how you market your products. However, even in the marketing of your products there are many ways you can do this for free. By doing this for free you literally have zero costs associated with selling the product.
As an example so you can really understand the power behind the profit margins of a ebook publishing business, lets suppose that it cost you about $500 to write an ebook that you are going to sell online. After you incur your costs when you write ebooks you are now ready to sell your completed products.
You advertise it with free internet marketing strategies like writing articles, marketing on social networking web sites, etc. You sell your ebook for $47. After 11 sales you are in profit mode. Every sale after that is pure profit for your business.
As the owner of your own ebook publishing business you have a business that is truly portable. You can operate your business anywhere in the world as long as you have access to a computer as well as Internet access
In fact you don't even need to have a telephone anymore for your business. There are programs available that allow you to turn your computer with an internet connection into a telephone using Voice Over IP technology. You truly have a business that you can run from anywhere in the world. Selling pdf ebooks online can literally be a dream business for you.
