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.
How can you find these powerful salespeople?
Everybody can be an affiliate when you sell your ebook through Clickbank. Clickbank is one of the largest sources of downloadable products which makes it the best rated ebook reseller on the internet. They also offer an affiliate commission to those who recommend and sell Clickbank products. Website owners are always looking for ways to monetize their site, so many look through Clickbank for complimentary products.
Before diving in, there are some things you need to know. First, decide on the e-book price and commission rate. Don't sell yourself short. Remember, your e-book must allow you to make a profit while encouraging affiliates to recommend your e-book. Affiliates prefer to recommend products that are more profitable.
Let's look at the cost structure of ebooks. Clickbank gets the first cut, let's say their five dollar cut. As the author of the ebook, you're going to share forty to fifty percent of it with the person selling your book. Your affiliates must get a decent commission or it's not worth their time to promote it.
As the author, you get to choose the price. Make sure that the price reflects the content, and give them their money's worth. After all, this e-book is downloaded which keeps production costs low. Be generous with your affiliates by offering a commission of at least 40%. This will encourage them to promote your e-book, driving sales upward. By using an army of affiliates, you can spread the word about your e-book and reap the rewards.
