How to Create and Sell an eBook in 24 Hours or Less
So you may or may not know this, but there are people who make six or even seven figures a year selling e-books and digital products. I have personally made over $100,000 with just one e-book, and have even made over seven figures over the years from my different e-books combined. I’m not the only one; there are a lot of people who have put their knowledge inside digital products like e-books since 2007, and e-books are still selling well to this day. There are a lot of people who are always looking to learn new information and overcome their problems.
In fact, my latest eBook is earning me about $24,000 a month on autopilot. To learn more about that, you can watch the video that’s on your screen right now. The best part about eBooks is once it’s sold, it’s automatically delivered to the customer. You can really create an eBook and sell it as many times as you want, all without continuing to trade your time for money to help every person who bought your product.
Coming Up with an Idea for a Profitable eBook
The best way to come up with profitable ideas for selling your eBook is with actual data, and that means actually asking your clients or ideal clients what they want. The first thing I’ll do is grow my email list to a list of people ranging between 1 and 200 people. I will send them all a survey with a Google Form attached to that survey. Ask these people what is the number one thing they struggle with? What do you think I can help you with the most as an entrepreneur?
Your job is to dig deep to discover and know what is the biggest problem that your audience or customers have. It is very important to not only pinpoint the problem but the number one problem they are facing. The more painful the problem you can solve, the easier it will be for you to make sales because that problem will create an urgent need for that customer to hurry up and eliminate that problem with your solution.
Creating Your eBook in 24 Hours or Less
I personally know from experience that creating an e-book in 24 hours or less is completely possible. If this is your first time ever creating a book, it may take a little longer. The most recent e-book I created took about 10 minutes. I broke it all down and showed you step by step how I did it. This was done using AI software that created the eBook for me, and I didn’t even have to type a word. If you want to watch this video, it’s on your screen now. I’ll be sure to leave this link for this video in the YouTube description.
Another way to create an eBook in 24 hours or less is to use a program like Canva, which has lots of templates you can use to get started. If you are just starting out creating your first eBook, don’t try to create it from scratch. Use any of Canva’s templates that resonate with you, your audience, and your niche, and start with these minor tweaks and changes.
Selling Your eBook Online for Passive Income
Once you have created your eBook, the next step is to sell it online for passive income. You can use platforms like Canva, private label rights (PLR), or AI software to create your eBook. The first thing you want to do is identify where your customer is located and where you’re trying to get them to. Make sure that where you’re trying to get them to is actually where they want to be. Think about your customer and less about yourself. You want to make sure you know what problem they’re facing and make sure that after they buy your eBook and read the information in it, it helps them get from that problem to the solution.
Once you’ve got that point A and point B, you want to create bullet points and milestones to highlight all the steps from there and describe them to go from point A to point B. When they’re reading your eBook, they should be at point B. You want to come up with a great, catchy title to make sure it looks good when you start marketing and promoting your eBook. Use AI like ChatGPT to help you come up with some ideas and go from there. One piece of advice is to keep your title as short and concise as possible. Whatever title you choose, it should depict the problem your customer is facing or the actual outcome they’re hoping for.
Marketing and Promoting Your eBook
Once you have your eBook ready, it’s time to market and promote it. I use Clickfunnels to run my entire business, and Clickfunnels hosts all of my sales pages, checkout pages, my courses, and my membership pages. When it comes to hosting things like eBooks, I simply use Google Drive. All I do is upload the PDF into Google Drive, create my sharing link, and I’m done. This is very cool because when I create my checkout pages or landing pages to sell my digital products, when a customer makes a purchase, it automatically sends the share link or Google Drive link to their email that they use when buying.
There are other programs you can use like System.io and email automation software like Aweber, which actually has templates to help you create landing pages and checkout pages to sell your digital products. I know there are a lot of people who say you should sell your digital products on platforms like Etsy, Amazon, or Shopify, but what you may not know is that the six and seven-figure digital product information creators make those numbers because they are actually selling to their audience on their own websites like System.io.
Building and Growing Your Audience
If you are looking for quick solutions, don’t look for solutions to quit smoking. Invest time and effort to grow your followers, and your work will become easier because you have your own following of people who are completely ready to buy anything and everything. You have to go ahead and do this work upfront so that you have more ease in your work in the coming years. If you want to learn more about Etsy, you can watch this video here where I tell you why you should grow your following and create your own digital marketing business to leverage your audience.
What I do now to sell eBooks is I make sure I post at least two YouTube videos consistently every week. In those videos, you’ll often find that I mention my freebies. Once you download one of these freebies, the Thank You page will say, “Hey, thank you so much for downloading this freebie; you may also be interested in learning more about this digital product,” and it gives you the option to purchase my eBook. I think it’s important to cultivate a relationship with your audience and give it a few passes before you start demanding sales.
Utilizing Email Marketing
Emails are 40% more effective than social media alone, which is why I really stand my ground when it comes to providing value and moving people off of social media to my email list. If you’d like access to my email templates that you can download and just fill in the blank so you don’t have to create your own welcome email series from scratch, comment on this video, “Hey, I want access to your emails,” and I will respond to you with the link to check it out.
Lastly, make sure you link to your eBook to make your purchase across all of your social media platforms. Now that you know how to create and sell your eBook in 24 hours or less, you may be interested in how to take it to the next level by conducting a quick and easy workshop. You never know; a workshop may be more your speed. To learn more about how to create your own digital products and sell them well, start by simply watching this video that is on your screen now. Pair what you just learned in this video with what you will learn in the next video, and you will make yourself stronger. Stay blessed, guys, and see you on the other side of success or the next video, whichever comes first. Peace.
