  |  Clear, Simple Steps to start a Blog, Email Subscription and Selling Ebooks & products
Ok Would you like to: Have your own website about a particular niche topic. Blogging/podcasting regularly Have an email subscription, they give you their email and you give them an ebook etc They then are invited to buy another ebook or a more expensive course etc You also earn money by advertising on your website. So. Imagine I have no idea how to get started or do anything on this. I need the complete steps of how to get there. Here are my questions. How Do I get a blog website like steve pavlina or Yaro Starak has? Where Do I buy the blog/website or hosting of the above and how much does it cost? How will I know for sure there is demand for my niche? How can I find a niche that there is demand for? Do I get a tech person or website developer to set my website up for me? Can I tell the tech website person what I want and they will do it for me? How much generally would it cost to have a tech website person set my page up for me? (an email subscribe button, different pages, a forum, perhaps a shop area, blog, buttons down the side, contact page etc) How Do I create an Ebook? Do I need to liscense my ebook or find a publisher etc? How do I self publish an ebook? How do I have automatic emails ready to send out when someone subscribes? How Do I give the free ebook to the new subscriber automatically while I'm not there? How Do I have an automatic process where the buyer clicks a button to buy a furthur ebook or product, I receive the money, and they recieve their product? Thats all the questions I can think of for now |

How will I know for sure there is demand for my niche? For Ebook: * Do a google adwords campaign which will show you what traffic is like and how many people are interested, also ask them what questions they would like answered in the book and what they would like to see in the ebook. * sell a cheaper ebook first, like a special report, to see how many interested people there are. |

How Do I create an Ebook? Use Word or OpenOffice (free) to create the file, which you then can turn into a PDF in Word or OpenOffice Which leaves more questions... * How do i think of a good title? *How do I protect my material, make sure it is copywrited? * How do I make a table of contents * How long should the ebook be * How long should a chapter be * What pages do I need at the beginning, the cover and title page etc. * Should I include free bonuses with the ebook and what would they be and how would I do that? * Should I up-sell through the ebook, what should be the more expensive product/service to sell and how would I do that? * What are powerful words to use? * How do I create and arrange a report? * How long should a report be? * What are the different sections of a report and how do I fill them in successfully? |

How Do I have an automatic process where the buyer clicks a button to buy a furthur ebook or product, I receive the money, and they recieve their product? Ways of sending the ebook to your customer: * Deliver Unlocking Passwords (If you already have your ebook on a website with some locked parts or chapters) or the ebook via email (as attached file) * Email to customer web page where they can download book * ShareIt.com delivers on your behalf password or ebook via email or download page. * You can sell your ebook through Clickbank but if you do get DRM (Digital Rights Management) * If you have no DRM make sure you encrypt your Paypal button * When you create paypal button click add more options button in paypal & set your successful payment URL & cancel payment URL Payment: * Payloadz; sets up affiliate program creates temporary URLS your download page available to individuals for limited periods of time |

How much does ShareIt.com cost? How do you use ShareIt.com to automate business? How do you sell an ebook through clickbank? How much does it cost on clickbank to sell one ebook through clickbank? How much does DRM cost? How do you get DRM? How do you sell an ebook through a website where your ebook is already available to read with many chapters locked? ; Are there websites that do this for many peoples ebooks and what are they? How much does it cost to sell your ebook this way? How would the customer pay this way? How would you be able to send the unlocking password to the customer after payment automatically? | |

You are asking all the right questions.... just be sure you don't leave any gaps. How are you going to generate traffic for your website? This is probably the most important thing of all. |
