More Reasons to Sell eBooks (continued from 10 Reasons to Start an eBook Publishing Business)

4. Work at your own pace

A completely automated sales model gives you the ability to work when you want to, and make money literally 24 hours a day. There is nothing more exciting then waking up in the morning already having made multiple sales. If you can stay motivated long enough to get to the point of selling a few books a week, you can learn to expand your efforts to sell a few books a day. It takes time, but everything in life worth doing takes time, and making money selling eBooks is no different.

5. Keep 100% of the profits

The brilliance of eBooks is that they allow the regular person with no publishing experience or connections that ability to share their knowledge with the world with relative ease. While the published author generally receives a few cents on the dollar, the eBook publisher gets to keep 100% of the profits. Sell a million copies with a publisher, and you will be lucky to make a $100,000. Sell a million copies of your eBook on your own and you are sitting in Tahiti sipping Mai tais.

6. Create something from nothing

One of the coolest aspects of eBooks is the fact that you can basically turn your knowledge and time into products that you can sell forever, and never run out of supply. Best of all, you can work from home and use very little resources. For all you “green” people out there, what better way to reduce your carbon footprint than by working from home and selling something that takes up very little of the earth’s resources to produce?
