How I Made $7,500 in ONE WEEK Selling an E-Book

hey guys i need you to be a bit quiet,i'm back here and i'm about to launch an,ebook that i've been working on really,hard in fact i've been working on this,one for months i'm just about to launch,it sales will start pouring in,please i'm trying to concentrate sorry,so,how will i launch this,by writing a post on social media,all right i'm ready let's launch it,i know influencers with more than 20 000,followers who make less than 500 on,average when they launch an ebook then i,know some who make several,thousand dollars just in pre-sales i,launched an e-book myself recently it,was my first one but i wanted to try it,out it took me a few evenings to write,and contrary to the intro before i,actually made more than 7,500 in the first week of sales today i,still make around two and a half,thousand dollars on it every month why,do some info products perform well why,do some perform insane when others seem,to go by almost unnoticed,that's exactly what i'm gonna cover in,this video a quick disclaimer though if,you think i'm gonna give you some magic,trick that you can go and apply and go,out there and make seven thousand five,hundred dollars out of the blue you're,gonna be disappointed in fact you might,as well just leave now and go find,something more entertaining to watch on,the other hand if you're curious about,what makes the difference and how to,actually go about selling an ebook in a,world where people on the internet try,to stuff ebooks down your throat left,and right then keep watching till the,end of this video because i'm gonna,explain exactly how to do this the right,way let's get started,if you're new to my channel welcome here,i'm simon and i make money on the,internet i use this youtube channel to,share my experience with creating and,selling digital products so if this is,something that interests you you should,totally subscribe to my channel so,ebooks and online courses can you really,make money from these obviously the,answer is yes and still most people,don't let's break this down the model,most people follow goes something like,this you start by narrowing down a topic,you want to write about you spend hours,structuring writing proof reading and,perfecting you make a lot of research,because you're selling this you don't,want people to pay for something that's,not correct which is why you double,check every other sentence i also know a,lot of ebook writers that use the,process of writing an e-book as the,perfect learning opportunity a great,opportunity to dig deep into a topic and,learn a lot about it along the way at,some point the work is done you upload,it on coursera udemy or gumroad and you,share the link on social media and you,make almost no money at all why how do,west boss adam marthan and kent c doss,make millions on their ebooks and,courses is it because they have a lot of,followers,not really in fact they have a lot of,followers for the same reason their,products do well yes you guessed it,because they're good at marketing,distribution and knows how to sell and,that's the part most ebook creators,completely leave out they spend hours,writing and then they almost leave it up,to random chance whether someone is,going to buy it or not when top sellers,make a lot of money from their info,products is because they spend a lot of,time preparing the launch every single,time they spend years building community,creating and owning their sales channels,building email lists attending,conferences and spreading awareness,preparing and running paid advertisement,creating affiliate programs for their,products and most importantly they have,been sharing knowledge and giving away,for free for a long time before starting,to ask for people's money and i know,exactly what you're thinking i'm out,info products is never going to be my,thing might as well just stop this video,right now but wait i know where you're,coming from there's so much work needed,to become that successful but let's back,up here,maybe we don't need to make millions as,i said i made more than seven thousand,dollars in the first week from my ebook,and two and a half thousand dollars per,month ongoing that's also pretty good,now that i'm not a full-time ebook,author or course creator and the great,thing about it is you can do it as well,it still takes a lot of work but,realistically you can do it so here it,goes let me break down how i did this,how i spent my time how much it cost and,most importantly which strategy i used,to make sure that i actually sold copies,of this ebook so for those of you who,don't already know i'm a software,developer and startup ceo and before,creating my own tech startup i've been,working in sales and as a freelance,software engineer and the ebook i,created and sold is called javascript in,the industry and it's a collection of,best practices and tips on how to write,industry level javascript based on my,experience from the real world so first,of all let's take a look at the finances,while you can write and launch an ebook,without any expenses you're definitely,gonna get further if you allocate a,budget to get you going it doesn't have,to be a lot of money here's the,financial breakdown of the first week,expenses,for creating the ebook i spent 47 on,this cool ebook cover and 52 dollars to,have the book proofread for grammar,mistakes and typos as some of you may,have picked up already english is not my,native language both of these services,were bought on fiverr for marketing i,spent 182 dollars to have the ebook,promoted on a popular instagram account,with almost a million followers and i,spent around 250 dollars to run paid ads,on facebook and twitter so in total i,spent 531 dollars preparing and,marketing the ebook in the first week of,sales i sold the ebook on a discounted,launch offer for 19 and an offer of nine,dollars for a group of selected people,and i sold 480 copies which was sold in,hundred and 7980 five dollars of gross,revenue subtract the expenses and a few,fees this resulted in just around seven,thousand four hundred and fifty dollars,of profit so let's take a look how i,spent my time as i mentioned i spent,well about 16 hours writing the ebook,it's 71 pages long and includes a lot of,illustrations i created a website an,integrated strive checkout for payment i,spent around 10 hours on that creating,email launch offers and drips this took,around four hours i'll go into details,about this in a little bit and then i,spent four hours on additional marketing,efforts this includes arranging and,creating a promoted post with an,instagram influencer and a couple of,other ad hoc things so in total i spent,40 hours creating and launching this,ebook,as you may have noticed i actually spent,more time on marketing and distribution,than i did creating the ebook this leads,me to the first important tip i want to,give you don't use this as an,opportunity to learn something new it is,probably the worst occasion you can pick,if you want to learn something great but,there are much better occasions for this,remember you're writing an ebook to sell,you're trying to do business here don't,unnecessarily wear yourself down,mentally by trying to learn something,new instead pick a topic that you're so,familiar with that you would almost,write an ebook about it in your sleep,you want the book to ride itself do not,spend a lot of extra energy on this part,this is exactly what i did just because,i only spent 16 hours writing it doesn't,mean it's a bad book in fact i get,incredible feedback on it it just means,that i picked the topic that i've been,occupied with for the past 10 years a,topic i can write an ebook about without,having to look up a single thing if,you're like most people looking into,writing an ebook especially if you're in,the tech space you probably haven't,spent a lot of time doing marketing,before save your energy for that instead,this is where you should challenge,yourself so before you start writing,your ebook ask yourself a couple of,questions what are your acquisition,channels how are you planning on,reaching people simply posting on your,social media profile probably won't make,the cut even if you have thousands of,followers already,so let's take a look at a few options,influencer marketing set up agreements,with other influencers and have them,spread the word you may already know a,few start by reaching out to them you,can also reach out to influencers you,don't know and ask them for a sponsor,deal it's pretty straightforward you pay,influencers to make promoted posts about,your product either by agreeing on a,fixed price or by offering them a cut of,each sale they produce so when you know,the topic you'll be writing about find,10 or more professional influencers in,that niche and line up a deal with them,in advance,keep them in the loop another option is,to do a pre-launch,maybe you already do have a follower,base in the niche you're riding in,that's great but it still takes more,than a single post saying i launched an,e-book you want to start talking about,this ebook way before you actually,launch it and you want to do a so-called,pre-launch a pre-launch is when you,start charging people for the product,before it's done on a discounted offer,this is great for various reasons first,of all you get to test the waters and,see if there's even interest in what,you're riding if none or only very few,people are gonna buy the product at,pre-launch probably it's not even worth,wasting time on secondly this gives you,a great opportunity to spread hype spend,a good amount of time before finally,launching talking about the product,share details about the process share,screenshots small bits get people hyped,up about it if you spend one to two,months creating suspense before finally,launching it it will get much much more,traction then there's my personal,favorite retargeting existing leads,this is exactly what i did three months,before i launched javascript in the,industry i created a quick ebook and,gave it away for free basically i just,collected all the code snippets i had,spent a year sharing on twitter and,linkedin and put them all together in an,ebook it took me less than two hours to,make and during the next three months,more than ten thousand people picked it,up i mean people really like free stuff,but this is an excellent strategy for,two reasons you create authority a lot,of people get to know your quality of,writing without having to pay for it you,collect emails imagine having a list of,10 000 qualified leads laying around the,day you want to launch,email marketing is super underrated in,2021 yet it's one of the mediums that,has the highest click-through rate it's,an incredible way to reach a target,audience finally you can choose to run,paid ads,paid ads is a great strategy it's easy,to set up and it's reliable services,like facebook and google have made,incredible marketing platforms and they,are really really good at targeting the,right people and even though zuckerberg,is becoming increasingly unpopular as,time goes by more people than ever are,using facebook's products with,facebook's marketing platform you get,both facebook instagram messenger and,whatsapp and google adsense covers,youtube and god knows how many web pages,those two platforms alone literally,cover almost the entire internet and,here's a fun fact surveys show that,people are getting decreasingly negative,towards ads in fact a lot of people are,getting used to them they trust them,more and they increasingly use them to,buy products and the best part is it's,relatively cheap you don't need a,million dollar budget to run effective,advertisement campaigns the platform,needs to spend a small initial amount to,tune in on an audience but that's,totally within financial capacity for,most people there are a lot of other,options out there but the most important,part is that you investigate and settle,on one or two acquisition channels that,you believe will convert don't overdo,this though creating multiple channels,isn't necessarily going to increase your,overall conversion rate and it probably,ends up becoming unmanageable,obfuscating data and making the whole,thing much more chaotic than it needs to,be so let me shortly sum up how i did,this i gave an ebook away for free to,create trust authority and to collect,emails i created the monetized ebook and,set up a website with strive integration,i made agreements with a handful of big,influencers in the tech twitter space,and had them retweet my launch,announcement i paid one huge instagram,influencer to promote the ebook,i send out a discounted offer to my,email list,finally i set up ad campaigns on twitter,youtube and facebook in total this,resulted in 7 500 worth of sales in the,first 7 days and the book still,generates around 2 500 per month today,in part two of this video i'll go into,details about how i created an email,drip sequence consisting of four emails,that generated more than two-thirds of,all the sales and i'll show you how i,set up conversion campaigns on facebook,twitter and youtube i'll also cover how,to create a great launch post that pops,out and converts please take a second to,like this video and subscribe to my,channel so you won't miss part two,actually this is definitely a good time,to hit that little bell icon as well so,you'll get notified when it's out i'll,see you soon for part two
