There are hundreds if not thousands of ebooks being sold on eBay every day and the majority of them sell for next to nothing.  Most of the sellers have to sell hundreds of them to make a profit on the front end. Yes, the front end.

Many of these ebook sellers only work on the front end and leave money on the table. There is a back end business model that only a few smart eBay Marketers are using.

The way to make money on eBay selling ebooks is to create a sales funnel on the backend and use your low priced ebooks as a front end entry.

How do you do this I hear. Simple - You sell low priced ebooks through eBay and then using the thankyou/download page you upsell a premium product.

There are a few different ways you can do this but if you are just starting out you could follow these steps -

1. Find a product on Clickbank that has a good sales letter. Does the product get you interested. If you want to buy after reading then this usually means the sales page will convert well. Get your friends to read the page and see if they get interested in what is being offered.

Does the product pay a decent commission..?

Buy the product yourself and have a look at it.

Does it do what it said on the tin..!!!!!!

Are you inpressed with the product. (If not you can get a full refund)

2. Get as many MRR products as possible to do with the niche. (These are products you can resell - Master Resale Rights).

Make sure you have a read of them and they are decent enough to offer. You don’t want to ruin your reputation. 

3. Set these MMR ebooks up on eBay and on you download pages have a link to the Premium Clickbank product or Affiliate product you chose in step 1.

Note - eBayers are normally browsing around with their credit card in hand so they are hot for buying so if your offer enticing enough you will make plenty of sales offering the premium product. This is where you are going to make your money.

Rinse and Repeat with different niches.

Now once you have the basic system in place you can start tweaking parts of the model.

* You could add opt-in’s for your Newsletter, Free Course, links to your Blog, etc to your download pages.

* You can start writing your own premium products and add to the sales funnel.

* You can start writing you own ebooks to go on eBay including your own links within them to other affiliate products or products of your own.

* Build massive reponsive lists that want to buy time and time again.

The possibilties are endless and if you really want to take this to the next level then I highly recommend Sky High Auctions. I am a member over there and the interview section alone blew me away.
