I have already talked about trying to sell your own ebooks online while you are totally ignored, your site is not adequate and you don’t inspire confidence. Everyone prefers to buy their ebooks from nice ebook stores, recognized companies and real writers, instead of trusting a strange who decided to become an author on the internet, without being a real expert on any matter.
This truth is applicable even if you are a real writer and your work is valuable, because nobody knows you in the beginning, and you have to do a lot before you are known, accepted, respected and trusted.
But let’s talk more about the competition you face on the internet, with billions of sites and strong companies that have capital and status quo standing in front of you. How can you beat that kind of competition?
There are “other ways”… Yes, blogs and other sites… but if you are serious about your business, you have to reach the large audience that lives outside the internet and uses it only when they need something.
How are you going to get enough traffic to your sales page? Who is going to care about reading your sales letter and first of all, how many souls will be able to find it, under so many pages that are more important than yours and have better ranking?
Don’t feel sad because I'm showing you the truth. Be realistic and properly prepared to face all the challenges beforehand, with all the information I’m giving you. I’m trying to protect you; I’m not telling you that you must completely forget the idea of selling ebooks online or that this business won’t give you money. I’m showing you that nothing is as simple as you may believe, because you see so many people talking about ebooks on the internet.
Everywhere you find lessons about how to create your own ebook, how to write an ebook in 3 days even if you have never written anything before in your life, how to find an impressing ebook cover, how important it is to show to the world that you are an expert in your field because you are an ebook author, how much you can achieve with one ebook online, etc…
So, you may believe that selling ebooks online is like selling water in a desert if you are far from reality, and you have never tried to sell your own ebooks before.
When someone talks about selling ebooks online, they will tell you that the only thing you need is a Paypal or Clickbank account, and that you can submit your ebook to many wonderful libraries. This is how you are going to sell them… How nice!
Nobody talks about all the problems you’ll have to face with so much competition on the internet. Nobody wants to open your eyes because otherwise, you may forget the idea of writing your own ebook for a long time, and they want to sell you their ebooks about how you can write an ebook too.
Last week one of the marketers that sends me regular messages with promotions, sent me a newsletter in which he was showing me the 30 steps everyone must take in order to promote their ebooks online! Not 5, nor 10, but 30 steps! Now, you can imagine how much you have to work if you want to be noticed…
If you are a real author and if you have something really important and useful to give to the world and you really want to write an ebook, care about preparing it very well, paying attention first of all to the keywords in your title, because this is how your potential customers are going to find it: thanks to the keywords you’ll use in its title.
Write what people want to read. Look for customers before preparing your product, so that you can write exactly what your audience is looking for.
Here is a great site where you can find many small niches on the internet and discover your potential customers:

Type your basic keywords and find interesting sites, then verify how many people care about what you could sell them, and only then think about putting your writing project into practice.
