Step 1
The best way to make profits with e-books is to write your own. By creating your own e-book, you have a product to offer that is uniquely yours. What are some problems people have? Can you offer a solution to someone else’s problem? Create a short e-book explaining the solution, and sell it for $5 to $7.

Step 2
Don’t stop yourself in your own tracks by thinking you don’t know anything. Everyone has unique experiences, from parenting to bankruptcy to taking care of an elderly parent. You may be a cancer survivor, or you may have lost thirty pounds. Maybe you decorated an apartment on a shoestring budget, or rebuilt your life after a tornado. Whatever unique experiences you have had, somebody needs to hear about them.

Step 3
If you take a look at some of the e-books on the market, you will realize that there is no reason you can’t write one too. Your biggest hurdle may be yourself. Set a deadline and write your book. It’s okay if the first draft is terrible. Once you get your thoughts on paper, you can go back and rewrite it.

Step 4
Once you have created an e-book, you need to actively market it. There are dozens of ways to market your own product, from article marketing to forums to classified advertising. One of the easiest ways to spread the word about your e-book is through blogging. If you are clueless when it comes to blogging, be sure to check out The Niche Blogger under resources.

Step 5
Are you still shaking your head saying that you can’t write? If you have ideas but not writing talent, there are plenty of ghostwriters available on Elance and other sites.

Step 6
From your own blog or website, you can also make profits with e-books by selling other people’s books. Identify a good product on Clickbank and market it. Remember that you won’t make money by just putting up a website and leaving it there, hoping someone will notice. Research different forms of internet marketing and do something every day to promote your links.

Step 7
It is possible to make profits with e-books, but it won’t happen overnight. Don’t give up if your first efforts don’t appear wildly successful. With each e-book you write and each marketing effort you make, you will learn something new. Success comes to the persistent.
