SUBJECT: Having Your Ebook Ghostwritten Lesson 41 of 50: How To Sell Your Book On The Web

Hi {!firstname_fix},

Luckily you don't have to convince Barnes and
Noble to put your book on a prominent shelf. You
have the Internet at your disposal, and the
Internet is the place where eBooks are purchased
99 percent of the time. The remainder of eBooks
are sold at conferences and the like by CD-ROM
(which incidentally should be packaged with great
cover art and delivered in a shiny crystal case). 

Get a presence on the web 

First things first. You'll need some web space
for your book. You can either pay a host or you
can get free hosting service. I recommend you pay
(for an inexpensive web host at least), and I'll
tell you why. 

There are many providers of free web pages, and a
quick Google on "free web hosting" will
illustrate that to the tune of page after page of
providers. However, some of the services are
unreliable, have annoying popups or other
advertising, or have strict requirements on what
you can and can't sell. If you want something for
nothing though, a good starting point is your own
Internet Service Provider (ISP). Some ISPs, such
as AOL, MSN, EarthLink, or RoadRunner may provide
free web space as part of your monthly
subscription. What they do not provide free is a
domain name for your web site, such as
www.youexpert.com. 

Likewise, other free web hosting services do not
allow you to use your own domain name. Besides
the annoying ads and rules, the domain name issue
is a huge reason not to use free hosts. If you
want to be professional and maximize sales, you
will need your own domain, and not
www.somecompany.com/withdistractingadvertising/you
getwhatyoupayfor. 

Tip: Even with the big ISPs, free hosting is not
an ideal for you. It's just not that effective to
have a site called
www.personal/internetserviceprovider.com/home.html
.

You can purchase a domain name to match the title
of your eBook or the name of your business easily
through any number of services. This should not
cost you more than $20 per year, so don't pay
more than that. Some fee-based web-site hosts
will register your domain name for you as part of
their pricing. 

To get your own domain name to show up when you
use your ISP or other free web host, you can
purchase forwarding services which will redirect
users to your free web host when the user types
in your domain name. These can run $10 to $50 per
year. Not worth it. You'll be paying for service,
yet still getting the annoying advertising and
rules from the free host provider. Not the best
of either world. 

I recommend paying for web hosting service. First
of all, it's pretty cheap these days. You can get
your own web page with tracking features for
around $5 - $10 per month. You'll get enough
space to store a library full of your own eBooks
if you wish. And you can use your own domain
name. 

And if and when you add more eBooks to your
library, then you should consider using
forwarding services as necessary so that you can
direct traffic to your best eBook-selling site.
