Selling Ebooks Now!

I forgot to tell you how my actual selling is going, and that’s supposed to be the point of all this!

I didn’t get all the books listed I wanted to, certainly nowhere near the 100 I thought I was aiming for. I finally figured out why, but more on that later. I did list 27 ebooks, most about making money on eBay or on creating ebooks. They were all listed for 7 days, starting bid $.99 and buy it now $1.99. The ones that didn’t sell were relisted. I made a total of 10 sales of nine of the books. Surprisingly, most of the sales were at the buy-it-now price. And better, out of those 10 sales, I got 2 signups for my list.

I’m holding just about even on the money, I think I’ll end up with a few cents income over fees, so it is list building for free for those two signups. We’ll see at the end of December how it works out with the cost of the eBay store figured in. I will be featuring a couple of higher priced items, so maybe even that will be paid for

I think my initial impression that ebooks about selling on eBay would be sellers is correct. I have more of those on my hard drive, so I need to get them processed and set up for auction. And I’ll be relisting the titles that sold. I need to figure out how to offer more than one copy - well, figure out the costs of that. Books in the store are listed for 30 days and cost $.06 each for the listing, but that still means I have to get people to the store.

And that would be http://stores.ebay.com/smilingpartners.

I finally figured out what was bothering me, preventing me from focusing. My digital delivery system wasn’t working correctly, and I couldn’t figure out why. After poking around, I finally asked the tech people at my hosting service. Naturally, it took them about a second to find and fix the problem. What a dope I am! Anyway, now that that’s taken care of, I can get back to being productive.

Which I’m going to do right now. Be sure to check out the resources page.
