I have my e-book, I have my website... now what?

Can you really see teenagers spending $8 on a back to school guide?

Sorry, but I can't.

Perhaps you've done some research that shows otherwise?

you try to put a video on youtube
then creates an opt-in page to give them a free preview
so you get their email and then you can promote your book is not only

other option
Include the book on clickbank or jvzoo
and look affiliators selling the book for you

Have a look at the forum here is full of advice

Congrats on getting your website up and running. Try sending traffic to your website first. Give readers lots of free information about study habits or whatever your site is about.

Concentrate on traffic first and then market your e-book at a later stage when you have built up an email list.

I would give the Ebook for free to get the list and monetise the traffic with other stuff..

You need to know what the goal of your business is about.
If it is just to get the $8 per ebook sale then the business system is a flaw.

you need to learn about your target market (The teenagers)
Do you really think they would spend $8 buying an ebook about school?

Maybe target the mothers would be better.

Issues with the niche aside - begin promoting! Choose one method for driving traffic, and stick with it until you know it inside and out.

I have 3 children who went to high school and college. They left all the stuff to me, buying what they needed for the dorm or classes, ect. I think the book would be better marketed to parents. I don't think my kids ever gave it a second thought. They knew that mom would have it covered.

I like the Clickbank idea someone else had.

Congratulations, it's a big accomplishment to have an eBook written and ready to sell. The first one is always the hardest.

You can offer coupons or any back to school for your bonus.

Given such a specialized niche. I would try article writing. May be even start a FB page and get some followers.

You took action and now you have a product, that's good. However, more importantly you need to understand your target market. Who are these teens that you wrote the ebook for? What is the problem you want to solve for them? What will motivate them to buy it? What's that pain point that you hit, that makes them purchase?

Sometimes creating a product is not the first step, but rather defining a clear problem and the group of people who you can solve that problem for. I learned the hard way a long time ago when I wrote an ebook on soulmates. I sold about 20 copies. I wrote the book first, created a great website second, and worked like crazy to get adword clicks third. Eventually I sold a few.

That was a valuable lesson, to understand your market first.You can try brute force, but it may be better to tweak what you have, and focus on another, more refined market.

For example:
- Sell to parents
-- Shy child, 3 proven methods that guarantee social acceptance
-- Guarantee your child makes a great first impression on their first day

Think about ways to help people, help the teens, help the parents.

Quick List
1. get involved in parenting sites/blogs/circles and share
2. find out what they talk about and have issues with
3. tweak your ebook to this new group for the issues they are having
4. find out how to advertise on those sites
5. get clear on exactly who will buy your book and why they will buy it
6. post back here for more assistance.

I think you have not made a market research before you created your ebook anyway I would say now as you have created it but it in kindle and other ebook stores

1 get a payment processor
2 shoppingcart to host your e-book. e-junkie is the best
3 purchase traffic from content discovery platform such as outbrain, taboola, content.ad, nrelate etc not from google or bing adwords as they are very costly
4 also give some freebies
5 roar your sales
thanx in advance

Have you considered putting it on Kindle...?

try to sell your book on amazon

Follow previous suggestions:
- put your ebook in kindle store: amazon will make promotion for you. If your ebook sell then it will be promoted in Amazon newsletter and your sales will growth
- change audience: your target audience cannot be teenagers, parents are the best choice

look for communities that your target attends and be active there. Put your website in your signature.

hello,
If you really wants to take benefits from your website than you need to go with SEO .
This will help you to generate traffic and revenue

What you really want to do with your ebook is forget promoting it on the internet.

Take it to some teen charities that "support" teenagers. Let them brand it for their charity and let them promote it to their readers as a free download from their website. You should ask just 10 cents for every download. That way you can target all their readers, and half the downloads will come from parents with problem teens. Their readers will download for nothing, and the charity pays you for each download. They wont rip you off (they can't afford the bad publicity) and their web guys will put in all the tracking, download links, etc.

If you get say 5 charities all promoting your ebook then your downloads could run to millions. I don't need to run the figures for you! Millions at 10 cents each.

Before you ask I've seen this partnership deal done in a dozen different ways. I have done it myself. It works, and works spectacularly.

One point is - your ebook doesn't need to be long, (infact the shorter ones work better) BUT it needs to be good quality, and be in harmony with your partners philosophy. If you're in any doubt get it edited professionally.

Good luck.

Publish on Kindle..best option
