Sell Your eBook(s) Online
Without Paying ANY Monthly, Service, or License Fees, etc.
(A Simplified Approach)
Before we start, let's see an example of what we are talking about. When finished, click the button to return here:
When selling an eBook online, you don't want to have "all kinds of fees" eating into your profits from the sell of your product(s). So, one way to help prevent this from happening is to create a "3-page" website (like the one in our above example) and place an image (representing the cover page of your ebook), a "See Description" button (to describe what's in the ebook), and a "Purchase eBook" button (to allow a Visitor to obtain a copy of the ebook AFTER a successful purchase). This button will actually serve as a "payment processing" button. We'll explain this later in the "Getting Paid" section.
Creating Your PDF
One way to create your PDF is to use something like "Microsoft Word" to first create the content. Then instead of saving the document as a Word document, save it as a PDF. Microsoft Word gives you the ability to do this in their "save as" function.
Creating Your Website
1) While in the Wix editor, go to the page containing the PDF.
2) Go to "Pages & Menu", indicated by this symbol:
3) Once there, you should see a "circle containing 3 dots" toward the right of the page name.
Click that circle and select "SEO basics" from the menu. Scroll down and click on "Go to
URL". Get the "link/URL" from your computer's browser window. SAVE it. You will
need it later.
You can create your FREE website using a platform like "Wix.com" (click here to go to their website) or any other hosting company of your choice. Once you do that, upload your PDF on a blank page (click here to see example) and add a "download message". To get the "link/URL" for the PDF (if using the Wix.com platform), first PUBLISH your Site and then do the following:
Getting Paid: Creating a "Payment Processing" Button
In our example above, we introduced the following button:
Once a Visitor clicks the button, he/she will be taken to an area whereby a purchase can be made (using paypal, credit cards, etc.). Having a button like this on their Site allows Sellers to advertise their website anywhere on the internet (and make a sell) without having to pay additional fees. Therefore, there is no "rush" to sell a product because no fees are incurred until a purchase is made... and that is only the process fee (charged by paypal, etc.) at the point of sale.
Now, let's create that payment processing button...
