Expanding Your Horizons

If you are interested in making money online, you should consider this ebook the tip of the iceberg for you. There are infinite ways to make money online and using Craigslist and Ebay are just a few. There are many, many products written about how to do achieve Internet wealth. Some are good and some are a crock! I've read dozens and tried the methods in each. In this chapter I want to share with you some ideas that may broaden your horizons in your money making endeavors.

Personally, I got my start making money online with Ebay, then Craigslist. Both of these methods made me a lot of money. I liked the buying and selling aspects and challenges that came with each, but eventually I became a bit disenchanted with the one thing that these two methods have in common. Both of these methods involve one cumbersome thing: Physical inventory!

In order to buy and sell on Ebay and Craigslist you need to have items to sell, obviously. Inventory if you will. Well, the problem with physical inventory is that you need to physically obtain it, store it, and ship it when you sell it. You may be thinking: “Ok what are you talking about? What the heck am I supposed to sell?!”.

What if the items you were selling were virtual items, not physical items? I'm talking about information products, like this ebook you are reading. Information products take up no physical space and can be instantly transferred to the customer over the Internet because they are digital and stored as a file. This ebook in particular is a PDF file. It takes up no physical space and is instantly transferrable as you know.

Information products like this one can be bought and sold on Ebay and Craigslist via email or download. You can sell them on your own web site, or use a site like Clickbank.com or PayDotCom.com who specialize in the sale of information products.

Write your own book or sell someone elses?

Where do you get ebooks to sell? You can either write one yourself or sell someone else's for a commission. If you are wondering if you have what it take to write your own ebook, first ask yourself: “Am I knowledgable in a subject?” Do people constantly ask you things because you are skilled or learned in a certain field? If so, you have something you can write about and can write an ebook of your own.

Don't worry about not being an accomplished author. Your ebook should solve a problem the reader is trying to solve. And if it does that and only that, the reader will feel like he got his money's worth.

Writing your own ebook is also beneficial because you get to keep all your your profits. You did all the work so you get all the money. Compare this to selling a product that is not your own.
