Selling? Everybody does it. Today we are witnessing a true explosion of impromptu sellers, with websites and online stores sprouting like mushrooms, and where it seems you only need to upload one of your products in order to make money.

But that's not the case. It isn't enough to simply be on the internet, even if your website is well thought out and beautifully designed, to guarantee you a monthly sum or a small income. When I started out on this internet adventure, I was also certain that I could make it happen overnight, but I was soon to be proven wrong.

What annoyed me was that other people, probably even less skilled than myself, uploaded the dumbest content from which they ended up making a huge profit.

Many of them had a huge number of followers who did nothing but sing their praises, while others seemed to possess the gift of King Midas: the ability to turn every stupid thing they spread over the internet into gold. Was it luck?

At the beginning, green with envy, I was sure of it. But then, when I looked further into the matter, I realized it came down to actual skills, and that more often than not it had nothing to do with the content of the products being sold.

In my case I was dealing with ebooks, but generalizing you could say that these "lucky guys" exist in every sales area and in every category. Their products didn't appear to be more appealing or more interesting than many others. And yet, they sold . These authors had a fair number of followers and, I can assure you, they were NOT paid ones. Tons of positive reviews. Hordes of satisfied customers who, by word of mouth, boosted sales.

Once I got over the envy I began to ask myself: Why? And so I knuckled down to find out their secrets.

At the end I realized that, despite an initial bit of hard work, it was possible to obtain great economical satisfactions by selling certain types of products, and by using real and proper selling secrets , seemingly banal but very, very lucrative.

Essentially, I realized that sellers like me who don't earn much, regardless of what we offer, all make the same mistakes. Little ones, at first glance. Amateur ones perhaps. Yet sufficient to undermine and render unproductive the efforts of the sale. Again: it is not enough to simply be present on the internet to sell. It is not enough to offer clients extraordinary products, and it's also no use lowering your prices. All you need is to incorporate some minor, unexpected steps to guarantee you a true passive income, which will increase with every new product you offer.

Endless hours instant messaging with your customers so as to ensure maximum assistance? That won't be necessary anymore.

A slave to social media trying to become friends with the right people, hoping they will help promote you? Enough of that.

Writing repetitive posts on your blogs in order to list the qualities of your products? Please, stop doing that.

In the pages that follow, I will offer you the true tricks of the trade in order to become excellent salespeople , I will reveal to you the magic words that will have you making good money and I will recommend the sectors and products that today (but also yesterday and tomorrow) sell the most.

To get started, I simply ask that you to work for 7 days. After that, you'll only need three hours a week in order to obtain sensational economic gratification, which might not make you rich, but it will provide you with excellent motivation to keep going.

This booklet is the first of a small series on tips and marketing secrets which, without any exaggeration, will have you earning a decent amount over the internet within a couple of months.

Are you ready? In that case... 3,2,1, GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Ebook Wizards on Amazon

Rich on Amazon selling ebook

It goes without saying that the main dream of people who wish to become great sellers, in 70% of cases, is that of selling their very own ebook, which then ideally turns into a bestseller. And what better place than Amazon to make our dreams come true? Amazon sells everything, truly everything. And yet, it has remained, how can we say, very tightly linked to its recent past, when its massive website was nothing more than an online bookstore.

To this day, if a book sells well on Amazon, it sells everywhere. This is because, in this sector, Amazon calls the shots .

Fortunately, or unfortunately? It is not for me to say. However, to be able to place one's own ebook on Amazon, rather than just any product, can guarantee you an excellent income...and definitely not just for the reviews.

As for common goods, if you intend to use Amazon as the main reseller of your products, it is better not to consider it at all, but rather stick to Ebay or similar sites, as I will explain in my next ebook. The reason?

Amazon's bad reputation for the quality of its merchandise and the numerous scams of which it the creator or victim of...I'll let you be the judge of that. Likewise, if you have art to sell, or handmade products, forget about it and maybe turn to Etsy. In short, Amazon can be a panacea, but only for ebooks. When it comes to printed books the mark-up for the printing is so high that you will never see a penny.

Therefore, rule number one: only use Amazon to sell your ebooks, to resell those of others or, with the necessary modifications, to try and sell digitized books in public domain . I said "try" because when it comes to products in public domain (and this applies also and especially to music and audiobooks) it makes things very complicated...since it has grabbed 75% of the info-products in public domain, which it produces and sells independently.

Back to us.

Everybody would love to have a bestselling book, but very few actually make it. Have you ever asked yourselves why that is? Is it because some people are better writers than others? How come some of them, who are not even able to put a sentence together, end up in the bestseller list and others, superb writers, have a hard time trying to sell even just a handful of copies?

The answer is, obviously, to promote !

Most writers, in particular those who self-publish, upload their books to the store, sit back and simply wait for something to miraculously happen.

After a couple of months, they realize that something is wrong, and they start crazily promoting their books among their friends on social media...but still nothing. They create a website, convinced that in the vast ocean that is the internet they will suddenly be noticed and that thousands of users will magically flock there to soak up their knowledge.

Or they start a blog on WordPress where they exhaust themselves enumerating the qualities of their work...but nobody seems to take any notice.

In the majority of cases, they give up, often completely forgetting about their ebook, which remains on the web, a prey to pirate websites, or to the same stores which, after a period of inactivity on the part of the author (who usually has an account on their website) obscure it, incorporate it, resell it without sharing any part of it. Otherwise they have it edited by paid ghost-writers, change the name of the author, the cover, the odd line and then resell it... for a profit.

What? For a profit? Well yes... perhaps it was a good book. And so how come it didn't sell? I will tell why now.

These websites have great webmasters who are able to upload the right words to promote the ebook and have it gain visibility.

No, they don't pay anyone. And even you won't need to.

Promoting remains the key to almost every bestseller you see around . Very few books succeed without some kind of promotion.

Thanks to this manual you will learn some of the key things you can do to promote your book on Amazon and increase sales. You will learn about reviews, mailing lists, social marketing and much more. So, let's begin.

General plan

The general plan for the marketing of your book has a main goal...to bring your ebook to the top of the Amazon bestseller list, obtaining maximum visibility.

Once your book has entered the various bestseller lists on Amazon, your sales will truly take off.

But the same way you need money to make more money, you need sales to make more sales. You need a certain number of sales in order to slip your book into those lists, and then your book will take off independently.

Therefore, how does Amazon work when it comes to selling ebooks?

There are two main integrated promotional tools on Amazon's web site that can help us market your book:

1. Also bought by: if you've noticed, products that are quite popular on Amazon, always have this suggestion " Customers who bought this item also bought..." These are just suggestions not actual purchases. But the suggested products are the most popular ones.

2. Purchased by . These are different products bought by the same people who bought your book. Often, they have nothing to do with the original product. It is just a system Amazon has of arousing curiosity and offering different ranges of products, which sometimes are relevant to each other and other times not at all.

All this usually happens for books and ebooks. Remember:

a) If ten people buy your ebook, it will start showing the list of people who bought it.

b) If a person buys a book of the same genre as yours, they will probably receive an email where your book, among others, will appear in the list of suggestions.

c) After 100 purchases your book will begin to appear as a category product.

d) Over 100 sales it will appear also under sub-category purchases.

Sometimes it isn't necessary for people to make a purchase. It is sufficient to obtain a good number of views of the preview for example, and that is when Amazon will begin to suggest your book to potential customers of similar books.

Over 10000 views you will notice the word PRE-ORDER under your book, thus sending more potential buyers your way. In short: the more purchases, views, and reservations are being made, the more visibility your book will gain.

At this point you may well think: sure, but how am I supposed to sell all these copies...

Do you know what you have to do? Publish or sell a good quality ebook at a low price on a very popular genre. But sell it for a few euros, two at most. If the ebook is compelling and in the right category you will find hundreds of users willing to pay a couple of euros or less to purchase it.

Keep in mind that many stores have a subscription service, by which the customers, with a small monthly figure, can download what they like.

The more you sell your ebook, the more Amazon will suggest it to its subscribers, who probably will download it out of curiosity, thus increasing the number of sales. Don't get your hopes up for this book, you won't earn a penny. But if things go as they are supposed to, you will make thousands of sales, which will allow you to position yourself at the top. From then on you will be listed as a money-making author, and that means you're just a short way away from becoming a bestselling author.

What does it matter if your ebook is on subjects you consider to be silly or far from your interests? The next one you write will take a lot less time in becoming successful...and pretty soon you will be able to boast about earning well thanks to your beloved ebook, the one rich in important content and that best represents you. Do not fear: your dignity will not suffer. Many great AAs started out with a training period, writing books
