If you have recently finished composing an eBook, then I have to say - great work! It is not a simple project, and it requires solid effort, patience, determination. Now is the moment to begin working on ways to promote and sell your prized ebook. Here are 3 categories you should give special attention to:

The first option is the most simple, least expensive and also the most “DIY” option of them all - PayPal!

It takes only a few moments to set up your PayPal account. Once you login to PayPal, do a search for “Buy Now Button”. Here you will be able to configure your settings, and in just moments it will produce an HTML code for the button which you can simply place on your site. Voila! It’s almost instant.

The second consideration is determining whether you want to advance this process a bit more, providing your potential customers with more payment selections, and also allowing internet marketers to possibility of affiliate sales with your product. As a professional virtual assistant, I would recommend you set up a Clickbank account. There is a one-off fee for using Clickbank, however it will pay off. This choice is very popular amongst affiliate marketers, and with this service, the chances are you could find your eBook being sold all over the internet.

This option does require some level of understanding of web development - or outsourcing to a professional virtual assistant, in order to set this up and meet the criteria. You will need a page on your website where you intend to display and sell your product; you will also need a thank you page too. Once you’ve completed this step, and gone through the approval process, ClickBank will insert your product into their market centre.

If you would like to sell your eBook in other marketplaces, you could also try websites such as LULU, YUDU, Amazon and PayLoadz for this as well. It’s definitely worth investing a little extra time in adding your book to these sites.

Your final option is the choice of shopping cart software. This is the way almost every virtual assistant would suggest you go if you eventually intend on selling multiple products. With this, you should be able to customise your shopper experience and create a bespoke interface for your online store’ in fact; you can sell pretty much anything through a shopping cart. You will need a payment gateway such as WorldPay or something similar, and you may find yourself paying a monthly fee for both, so make sure your money is well invested, and consider selling other items so you can really make this investment pay off.

I am merely skimming over the surface with these opportunities, as there are many different products and services out there which will allow you to sell - and promote, your eBook. These are the most commonly used options, and are widely recognised amongst both consumers and sellers alike.

Regardless of what options you decide to pursue, I wish you great success with promoting and selling your eBook!
