When you have a downloadable product, like an ebook, one of the best ways to sell it is through affiliates. You may have a large list that will buy your new ebook, but you will make more money when you have an army of sales people recommending your ebook to their customers.
Where can you find affiliates?
Everybody can be an affiliate when you sell your ebook through Clickbank. Clickbank is one of the largest sources of downloadable products which makes it the best rated ebook reseller on the internet. They also offer an affiliate commission to those who recommend and sell Clickbank products. Website owners are always looking for ways to monetize their site, so many look through Clickbnak for complimentary products.
When you set up your own ebook on Clickbank, you must decide the ebook price and the affiliate commission rate. There’s nothing worse than seeing a five dollar book on Clickbank because you’ve got to share that with somebody. Remember, you’ve got to share enough money to make it worth my while, as an affiliate. I’m not going to try to recommend a product that I can only make two fifty.
Instead, I’m going to recommend a product where I’ll make twenty-five dollars per sale.
Let's look at the cost structure of ebooks. Clickbank gets the first cut, let’s say their five dollar cut. As the author of the ebook, you’re going to share forty to fifty percent of it with the person selling your book. Your affiliates must get a decent commission or it's not worth their time to promote it.
As an ebook author, be sure you choose a price that reflects the meaty content you've included. Then, be generous with your affiliate commission and offer at least forty percent of the sales price. Hey, it's a downloadable ebook and you have very little production costs, if any. Then, your affiliates are happy and will spend more time promoting your ebook to their list. And you get more money in your pocket because you have an army of sales people telling the world about your ebook.
