Sell Your Ebooks Using Affiliates
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?
Affiliates often turn to ClickBank to find products that they can recommend and sell for a commission. Since ClickBank is a major source of downloadable products, it has become the best rated e-book reseller online. It is not surprising that so many website owners look for complementary products to sell through ClickBank.
To sell your e-book on ClickBank, you must first set the price of the book and the affiliate commission rate. Don’t undervalue your product - if you only set a five dollar price tag for your e-book, you will have to share that with an affiliate and it will cut into your profits. Besides, your affiliates would like to recommend products that provide them with an adequate commission for their efforts.
To set a fair price, you must understand the cost structure of e-books. ClickBank claims a cut of the profits, say five dollars. The affiliates who will be selling your e-book will claim another 40 to 50% in commissions. Make sure that your commission is generous, as this will encourage affiliates to promote your book.
When choosing a price, make sure that it reflects the great information which you are providing. If you are generous with your affiliates, offering a minimum 40% commission, they will sell your book like crazy. Since the e-book is downloadable, your production costs are minimal so you can afford to be generous. With an army of sales affiliates spreading the word, you will enjoy increased sales of your e-book and more money in your pocket.
