E-Book Profit Center #1: Inserting Affiliate Links
This is probably the other and most commonly tapped profit center used by many E-Book publishers, aside from making money from upsells.
In a nutshell, you make even more money from your E-Book readers/customers by recommending them a related or follow-up product or service in the shoes of an affiliate marketer.
Yep, the keyword here is “related” and “follow up”.
You’ll have to use your experience or due diligence when recommending affiliated products or services in your E-Book because the more related they are, the higher your chance in increasing your backend profits via affiliate endorsement in your E-Book.
Putting it another way, you have to predict what your customer needs as soon as he or she finishes reading your E-Book and provide just that. It’s also providing convenience to your reader because you can save him or her time, effort and maybe money in accomplishing the next step.
Examples:
1. If your E-Book is targeted at beginners who want to start their Internet Business, you will do well to recommend them merchant accounts and web hosting services, as these are some of the things they are going to need when they start their business online.
2. If your E-Book is a crash course guide to physical activities like Yoga, dancing, exercise, etc. you can start recommending gears and accessories from other online sites you are an affiliate for.
E-Book Profit Center #2:
Selling Advertising Space
This profit center isn’t tapped into often where paid E-Books are concerned, but some marketers are making wild profits selling advertising space to their free viral E-Books or reports.
If you are producing a short report with Full Give Away rights i.e. your report can be passed on to other people freely, you can tap into this particular profit center.
Like the newspapers and magazines, you can include a space in one or some parts of your E-Book or short report that is available for advertisements. In this blank space, you include something like “this advertising space can be yours!” and then include a link or a way the potential advertiser can contact you.
You can then charge a rate of your choice and the advertiser sends his or her advertisement to you. Then, not only do you provide him or her with a new copy of the E-Book/report that has the advertisement, you also help spread and circulate the “branded” report around.
This profit center can also be effectively used if you publish a PDF newsletter with a large database of subscribers or members.
