Pro eBook Selling Case Studies. How Do Companies And Celebrities Sell Their Own eBooks and Gain Sales?

eBook selling can mean such a lot. Most people assume that it is about selling something for money. It is, but it can also be a lot more.

Selling is the art form (it can be learned) of persuading people to be interested in your item so that they can do something you would like.

So this can easily be a lead magnet for:

signing up for a newsletter
the actual downloading/ buying of your ebook
buying your product through an ebook
buying a subscription
reading an article or sales page
buying into what you say- when ebooks become an authority and not selling anything apart from your knowledge and expertise

Online selling is simpler because it is immediate and there is such a low barrier to entry that anyone can set up a website/ free social page and then sell something. Online selling is also a problem because of those issues, so you have multiple people chasing after a limited amount of prospects.

What are ebook selling case studies?

We are all buyers and sellers. And some who will read this will also have their own websites that are doing well.

What we have noticed is the following:

we forget that we are buyers and we always believe we are sellers.

So for us we are buyers when we look at a website. We might not be "buying their product" but we have to ask ourselves...are we "buying what they say". Is the website functioning as it should. If we were buying, would we?

As new websites appear they have dreams of making it big- don't we all. But in that quest we find that they run as quickly as possible to become big. They run quickly as possible to make the sale. But what they actually do is trip becoming big and they fail at getting a sale.

Larger websites also can not laugh. We have found that as websites become larger they become less nimble. They increase the amount of people (ideas and thoughts) and they forget what they are trying to do- what their initial issue was. Now they seem to be in the business of profit (which is not a bad thing) but they fail to understand and realise the initial draw to that website.

Then we have the table websites. These are websites that, for some reason, are leaving money on the table. It not sometimes obvious to the seller that the ebook or subscription is nice but why don't they add XY or Z, I might be interested in that.

So as we travel around online as visitors we will see websites that fit into one of these categories. When we find them, we'll go through them and see some stats, how big they are, what they are trying to see and can they be helped more. This is the purpose of the ebook selling case studies.

Now. And this is something we need to make abundantly clear. It is not saying that the website/ creator is bad or good. We are trying to ask (as a visitor remember) will we buy into what they are selling or would we not. That is all.

For example, one website gives you a link on one of their content pages. You click on it and then get sent away to a different website. You can not click back. So unless you want to re-search and find that website again, that website is gone.

With one link a visitor is lost.
