IMPORTANT: This guide is only for those who ALREADY have a website and wish to sell ebooks from their website.
STEP 4:
Add Ebooks To Site.
Once you have the ebooks uploaded start adding them to your site. Start with an index page where you would introduce your ebook store to your visitors. Let them know there will be no shipping cost as they are delivered electronically. Make sure you introduce your ebook store on your site homepage as well.
You might also want to list the categories on the index page so your customers can click directly to the ebooks they are interested in. Have a short description of the ebook and a graphic (if possible). You can have a whole page for each ebook or you can put several on a page.
Go to Paypal and make up a button to put on your site for ordering. If you do not like Paypal, use any payment service you want.
**TIP - To avoid the time of making up each individual button, use the code from the first button and just change the necessary info like price, item name and code. This will save you a lot of time in setting up your ebook store.
When you sell the ebooks in this manner, you can make a page that will automatically come up after the customer makes their purcahse. You can add the download url to this page to your Paypal buttons or you can email the links to your customer personally.
If you plan on selling several ebooks, you can also purchase a program for setting up your store and having all purchases automatically delivered. This saves you a lot of time plus gives your customers the items immediately which helps with repeat sales.
One such program that does this very well is called The Digital Store. Do a search for this or automatic digital delivery ebooks and you will find a wide variety of scripts/programs to suit your needs. These scripts usually come with easy to follow step-by-step instructions on installing and setting up your store.
Be sure to continually add new ebooks for your existing customers. We have had numerous repeat sales by doing this. Also, you might want to have a mailing list to keep people up to date of your new additions and any specials or sales you may be having. The script we have comes with a mailing list feature.
