Seems like nearly everyone is selling ebooks nowadays. Can you make money with Ebooks?   Possibly...however, there is a lot of competition out there and you will have to have a very good ebook or some clever marketing angle in order to compete. 

Also, many online marketers are giving away their ebooks as a value-added promotion. The reason they do this is to get the ebooks in as many hands as they can as a way of free advertising. Thus, they will have their company name and contact info in the ebooks along with any other upsell products they are trying to promote.

One ebook that I see all the time is the "Secrets of the Big Dogs."  This is one ebook that has become very successful based on a clever marketing angle. 

The title is a very strong point to its success, as "Secrets of the Big Dogs"  is a very powerful ad title that really gets your attention. Plus, the ebook gets a lot of exposure because there are many affiliates out there promoting it.  I don't know the numbers on how many became affiliates....but I bet it is in the tens of thousands. Just imagine if you had an ebook like this and had tens of thousands of resellers out there promoting it!

So selling ebooks can be successful, but unless you have something extremely good or some very good marketing angle, it will be hard to be successful. Here are the advantages and disadvantages of selling your own ebook. 

Advantages:

Since you have no physical product there are no printing or shipping costs. This saves a lot of time and money. Quick delivery: People today want things right away and are happier when they can get them immediately. So when ordering an ebook, they can get immediate access to the site where they can download the ebook.

Disadvantages:

Less perceived value:  Many people have the perception that value is associated with the amount of content they receive. If a person pays $200 - $400 for a product  and receives a 12- cassette tape course with a videotape and an 1,000-page manual, they are going to assume this has more true value than some intangible ebook that they don't even get to hold in their hands.   Thus, it would be tough to convince someone to spend $100 - $400 dollars on ebooks. 

Also, I believe that most people don't read ebooks the same way they do real books. I know I don't. I prefer to read something I have in my hands rather than trying to read it on the computer screen. It takes more of a conscious effort to read ebooks.

Piracy:  When your ebooks are online, you are open to hackers getting access to your download site or your email. Whereas, with a real book, cassettes, or video, it would be unlikely to have people out there copying all that content.
