If you need retirement income, or perhaps a productive way to spend your time in retirement, you might consider selling ebooks you’ve written yourself. There is a lot of time invested upfront, but once you have your ebook completed and a marketing system in place, you have a great profit margin.

Read about Dan Kennedy's information marketing system

Some websites I’ve looked at say you have 100% profit from selling ebooks but if you’re using a marketing plan, which will help you sell more products, then you will have a few upfront expenses, such as investing in a good auto responder system.

I’ve been reading Dan Kennedy’s ebook The Official Get Rich Guide to Information Marketing, which gives a complete road map to not only creating an ebook to sell, but how to market it too.

The first step to selling ebooks, is, of course, to come up with a topic. If you already have a blog or website, then it would probably be something connected with the topic you’re already writing about. If you don’t have a blog, then the topic could be something related to your work experience or a hobby. Remember the first rule of marketing - your product needs to solve a problem for readers and the more specifically you target your audience, the better.

How-to books are very popular and if you have expertise in any area, you could write a how-to ebook. Once you know what your general topic would be, do a lot of research to see what else is available. You don’t want to spend time writing an ebook on How to Invest in the Stock Market only to find thousands of other books and ebooks already available on the subject.

Take knitting for instance. A general ebook on knitting wouldn’t really hit a target audience. However, 101 Knitting Patterns for Baby Hats or 101 Knitting Patterns for Dog Collars would be much more specific. You can take any interest or hobby and break it down to a target audience.

Even before you actually write the ebook, you need to consider your marketing strategy. Here are some ways you can begin:

Start a Blog or Website to Sell your ebook.

Remember that to sell a large number of ebooks, you need traffic to your site, which doesn’t happen overnight. If you are going to sell your ebook somewhere else, your blog or website might just provide general info about your and your product.

Use Sites like Amazon or Clickbank to Sell Your Ebook

Amazon.com is a great resource for selling ebooks. Formatting Your Ebook for Kindle in One Hour is available on Amazon for just $2.99 or for free if you’re a Prime member.

Clickbank is a site you can use to promote your work too. People sign up with Clickbank and choose products such as ebooks to promote on their own sites, then you split the profits with them. Keep in mind that Clickbank earnings are usually about 50% for affiliates so if you sell your ebook for $29.95, you are only going to make half that amount. The upside though is that other people are out there selling for you.

I know about Clickbank from selling other people’s ebooks and programs which I found there and I can recommend it as a good way to go if you don’t mind splitting profits.

You don’t have to use Clickbank or Amazon exclusively either. They could be just one part of your marketing strategy.

Beyond Just Selling the Ebook - More Marketing

As part of your marketing plan, consider free information you can give away so you can set up a relationship with your potential customers. Part of this is called “lead capture.” In return for a free report or newsletter, readers give you their email address to add to your database. This is where some expense will come in because an auto-responder will make your life much easier.

At one time I was doing a health newsletter and sending it out monthly by hand. Once the number of subscribers reached 100, I decided I needed an auto-responder. This was a wonderful tool. People opted in to my site and an automatic response was sent to them. Then newsletters were automatically sent to them once a month. You can use this to send out special emails too, perhaps promoting your newest product or ebook.

I once did some freelance writing for a marketing genius - he really was! This man could take any topic, the one I worked on was cake and cookie decorating, and sell it. He first created a website with a forum and free stuff, then he began promoting his upcoming cake and cookie decorating video ebook. He had about 300,000 subscribers when ebook came out. A ready made audience was just waiting for his ebook.

He didn’t care that much about cake and cookie decorating actually. He did the same process with Barbecue tips and ebook, and, I’m sure, other products. The idea was that he discovered a successful formula and applied it to various informational products.

Dan Kennedy’s ebook is a great resource for teaching you that formula if you want to create a big business selling ebooks and other informational products. His book covers all sorts of products besides ebooks, like creating coaching classes, complete with DVD’s, books and other resources.

Available for just $2.99 to your kindle

One good auto-responder resource is AWeber.com. I am not an affiliate of theirs and don’t have my newsletter anymore but they are the one I used a couple of years ago on recommendation from a friend.

If you’d like some inspiration and to see where selling ebooks can take you, visit Dan Kennedy’s information marketing website.

Take a look at all the information he offers, starting with free and building up to more expensive products.

Keep in mind that if you’re going to try selling your ebook, it isn’t a get rich quick scheme. You aren’t going to write an ebook and then sell a thousand copies without some hard work. I have a friend who wrote an ebook on budget travel to Hawaii. She does no newsletter or marketing because she’s moved on to other projects. Operating this way, she only sells one or two ebooks a month. Granted it’s all profit, but she can’t support herself with the proceeds.

Your profits from selling ebooks totally depends on how much time and effort you put into creating a good product and then marketing it but it can be a creative and lucrative project if you’re willing to put in the time it takes.

Starting your own blog or website can be a great source of retirement income. Take a hobby or passion and turn it into a stream of income. This article, by my friend, Eunice Coughlin, explains more about how you can use small business web services to help.

Small business web services are desperately needed for business owners who want a website that will work for them.

Back in the day, when the internet first took hold of small business, it was believed that everyone needed a website. No one knew why, exactly, other than the fact that everyone was doing it. The prevailing wisdom was if you wanted your business to be relevant, you needed to have a web site because “that’s the future, dang it!”

Fast forward about 15 years later and people still believe in the necessity of having a small business web site but still not sure why, except that everyone’s doing it.

There are still some hold-outs, though, who refuse to give in and get one, either because they can’t afford the high prices web designers charge or they just don’t see a need for it.

There are a small number of small business owners who understand the value of a well-promoted web site and demand more than just design; they’re looking for small business web services.

Your business web site should be a major marketing tool for you that can bring a huge return on investment if you do it right. It should bring you sales leads that are ready to buy your product or service because you’ve pre-sold them through your website.

There are millions of websites in cyberspace competing for the attention of your customer. How do you get the kind of traffic to your web site that will result in a sale for you?

People are online looking for information about your product or service. You’ve got to develop an online promotional plan that will draw people to your site, provide the information they’re looking for and then develop a relationship with them so that they trust you and are ready to buy your product or service.

It’s not as complicated as it sounds. It just takes time to do it. Social networking is a major part of web site promotion. Most business owners don’t have the time or knowledge to do it on their own but it is the wave of the future for small businesses who want to capture the business that’s available to them online.

The 2 main players in social networking are Facebook and Twitter. As a “bricks and mortar” type of small business where your product or service is limited by geography, use Facebook and Twitter to connect with prospects in your city or regional area.

For example, if you are a cake designer, you would want to follow people in the 20-something age group that might be considering marriage sometime in the future. Offer incentives in your “tweets” and status posts for people to like you or follow you. Every once in a while, post a link to your website or a specific page on your website that you’d like to promote.

As your posts appear on your followers walls and Twitter streams, people will begin to follow you and check out what you’re posting. It begins to have a “viral” effect and the next thing you know, you have a huge list of followers and a steady stream of visitors to your website. Google and the other search engines like Bing takes note of all this online activity that’s directing traffic to your website so that when someone searches for your business in your area or region, your website will pop up in the search engines first. The result is more customers and more sales for your small business.

Lots of women have wanted to buy Avon or sell Avon at one time or another. My first experience with Avon was as a kid growing up in the 50’s and 60’s. My aunt could always be relied on to give me Avon jewelry or perfume for Christmas. Those fragrances, Imari, Sweet Honesty and Timeless are still around after all these years and they’ve been joined by dozens of new fragrances as well.

I’ve been an Avon Representative off and on three times over the past 20 years and usually only quit when we relocated. I always seem to gravitate back to Avon as a home based business. Nowadays, with Avon websites available, it’s possible to reach even more customers than it was back then.

In the current economy, everybody is looking for a good home based business to make some extra income and Avon offers the added bonus of having products you and your family can use too - products you can purchase at at great discount, depending on the size of your order.

These days, everybody can use more income and an Avon home-based business can provide full or part time income for retirees, working or stay at home moms, or just about anyone.

As a home based business idea, selling Avon has lots of advantages:

1.  Low sign up fee - It only costs $20 to become an Avon Representative, which includes your first 2 campaigns brochures.

2. Low Cost or Free Website - These days a home based business needs a website and Avon offers each representative a personalized website at very low cost - the website is even free if your customers place at least a $25 order through your site.

3.  Products have name recognition. Avon is known for its Skin So Soft line, quality make-up, jewelry, wellness products and more. Their Anew line of anti-aging products has expanded in recent years to provide a great selling opportunity for Representative.

4.  Avon brochures offer something for everyone. Some people like Anew products, some like Avon make up or Skin So Soft. Holidays are a great time to sell Avon. There are dozens of quality, budget conscious gift ideas for all those people on your list. Need little gifts for teachers, grandchildren or Great Aunt Sarah? Avon has it all.

5.  As a Representative, since you sell Avon, you can also buy Avon at great discount prices. The amount of your discount depends on the size of your order so even if you only sell enough to pay for your own purchases, you can save your family quite a bit of money by shopping Avon.

6.  Sales! Buy Avon by shopping the sales and save money. Every Avon brochure has great sales and you can usually get whatever you want at a discount on an already low price. You and your customers can order from the current brochure or the past one so you can compare prices too.

7.  For a Representative, Avon offers lots of local or online training and support.

8.  There is only a small minimum order required each 2 week cycle to stay qualified as an Avon Representative. Orders can be placed online to save time and effort too.

9. When you sell Avon, you have an enjoyable business. You get to know and like your customers and since Avon has a total money back guarantee, you can always keep your customers happy.

When you retire, you may need some extra retirement income and what better way to make it than doing

One of my most recent beaded creations.

what you love? Turning a hobby into retirement income may seem like a good way to go and there are many ways you can go about it.

Retirement gives us lots of time, hopefully, to pursue those hobbies we’ve picked up over the years. But after you’ve knitted a dozen scarves, made a bunch of woodworking do-dads or turned your beautiful photos into posters, what do you do with all of them? Everybody in my family now has a knitted scarf and hat so turning my passion for knitting into profit might be the next step.

Keep in Mind:

1.  If you want to turn a hobby into a business, once your hobby becomes “work” it may not seem like as much fun.

I used to have a passion for bead work and created some beautiful (if I do say so) pieces. I worked in a bead store and taught classes and soon I was sitting at a booth at a craft fair selling my wares. Production work isn’t like beadiing, or doing any craft, for fun. If you’re going to do a craft fair, for instance, you need a certain amount of stock. Your wrists and hands begin to hurt, your shoulders have knots in them and your eyes are burning. Not so much fun.

2.  If you are going to rely in any way on the money you make from your hobby, realize that you still have to spend money for supplies, entries into craft fairs, etc, so your profit margin may not be that big.

I spent more than I ever made, I think, on beads, yarn, etc, for any hobby I tried to turn into a business. If you have a real passion for your hobby, you’re likely to spend more. The flip side of this, of course, is that if you want a real business and you make some money, you can deduct many of your supplies on your taxes.

If you’re still sure you want to turn your hobby into an income producing business. Here are some steps to take.

Start by Assessing:

1. What is your skill level? – Whatever your hobby, can you make them quickly, in quantities and make your product look professional?

2. How much time do you want to devote? Making enough items for a craft fair, for instance, is very time-consuming. If you decide to create a website or online store, you also have to devote time to that as well.

Next:

1. Find a Niche market – Rather than trying to be all things to all people, it’s easier to make a profit if you cater to one niche, or group of people, and be specific. Take knitting, for instance. You could make your pieces from organic yarn. You could stick to baby clothes or blankets. You could specialize in prayer shawls or knit only with hand painted, hand dyed yarns.

Specialize in knitted baby hats

Knitting examples are easy for me because that’s what I love doing but if you are a photographer you could specialize in nature photography, scenery, animals, cute puppies, whatever. If you do woodworking, you could specialize in wooden toys, fancy shelves or cradles.If you make candles, you could make only soy or natural fragrances.

4. Research your market – Who is your competition and how do they manage their businesses? Visit some craft fairs and see if you can spot a niche that needs to be filled and talk to others who are doing what you want to do. Crafters are generally very helpful and nice people. Try to find a  niche that is popular but where the competition is less.

5.  Decide HOW you will sell your product. Are you willing and able to spend your weekends holding down the fort at your craft fair table? Are you willing to travel to get to craft fairs? You can also sell with a website such as Etsy.com or Artfire.com. Setting up an online store is free on these sites which feature only handcrafted items. They just take a small percentage on what you sell. Keep in mind too that people are paying through pay pal usually and pay pal also takes a percentage of your profits so price accordingly.

6. Once you decide on just what you will make, set up a plan and choose some goals - How much money would you like to make? Just enough to pay for your own materials? Enough to pay for one of the household bills or give you some money for that extra trip? It’s important to know the purpose for your hobby business.

Other Ways to Profit from Your Hobby

Write about Your Hobby

Even if you don’t get into production, you can still profit from your hobby. One way is to create a blog or website and put some affiliate ads on it. You can talk about books or products you like or don’t like and if giving a good recommendation, sell it via the Amazon.com affiliate program or a google adsense account, or find your own companies to represent.

If you would like to create a for profit blog, I can highly recommend the program The Niche Blogger. The Niche Blogger is a subscription site so you can set up your blog, or blogs, and then cancel anytime. The Niche Blogger takes you from step one, day one, through the entire process of creating a self-hosted wordpress blog. A blog like this will only cost you about $10 a year to keep online.

The Niche Blogger can help you choose a niche topic for your hobby as well so it is most likely to be profitable.

Write an ebook About Your Hobby

If you’ve been doing your hobby for a while, or you’ve gotten into a good niche, you probably have a lot of expertise in that area. Consider writing an ebook that will help others enjoy the same passion for the hobby that you do. The Niche Blogger program does into exactly how to create an ebook and market it, I think around month 4-5 of the program.

Teach Classes

If you’d like interacting with others and sharing your hobby, contact your local craft store, like Michaels or Joanns, or your local hobby store. Find out if they have a need for a teacher or there is a special technique that they don’t currently offer, that you could teach.

You can also create podcasts and teach online (again, this is covered in The Niche Blogger Program)

Do only the things you LOVE to do, and generate multiple revenue streams!

If you could earn multiple streams of income working at home, building a profitable business based on your own passions in life, would you want to do it? Would you like to quit your current unfulfilling job and make your own schedule, doing something you love every day? If you answered yes to these questions but aren’t currently living the life you’d like to live, maybe you may just need someone who can teach you how to set up multiple streams of income, a mentor who has made thousands doing just this.

f you’ve seen the movie “the Secret” you’re probably familiar with Bob Doyle. I’ve been a member of his terrific Wealth Beyond Reason program for about 3 years and I’ve always wanted to take part in his Six Figure Streams of Income Program about building a profitable business on the internet. However, the $1300 price tag was just more than I wanted to spend. Imagine how I felt recently when I opened an email from Bob Doyle and found he was offering this same program for just $97!

The Six Figure Income Course is based on principles of the law of attraction to create multiple streams of income -helping you to find what you’re passionate about and build a profitable business around it. Work becomes play! Even if don’t currently have your own website or a product to sell, or even know how to do this, Bob’s course teaches you everything you need to know to build your own business around marketing information on the Internet.

What makes this multiple streams of income different from other business building courses? An all-important part of Bob Doyle’s course is teaching you how to overcome the resistence you’ve built up in your thinking-resistance that is holding you back from living the life of your dreams. Do you think you have to work hard to make money? Do you think money is hard to come by and only very lucky people “make it big?” These are limiting beliefs that are holding you back and Bob gives you the tools to overcome these beliefs so that anything is possible.

If you could spend your day devoted to any subject, what would it be? What are you passionate about in life? What is your hobby or what subjects are you drawn to? What do you love read about that you’d love to create a business around? Do you have a special area of expertise that you’d like to share with others? Would you like to create unlimited income around these ideas?

Bob Doyle’s Six Figure Streams of Income program helps you to sort through all that information and gives you specifics on creating ebooks, videos, and websites based on what you personally love to do to earn money through multiple streams of income.

If you’re a baby boomer facing retirement, what are you going to do with your time? Wouldn’t it be fun to make some extra retirement income doing something you have fun doing?

Do only the things you LOVE to do, and generate multiple revenue streams!

If you’re interested in the Wealth Beyond Reason program, I can tell you that since joining I’ve used and reused the information. I listen to the audios over and over and re-read the books that are part of the program. It was one of those programs I purchased that I never even once regretted or thought it wasn’t worth the money. The information is something that I use again and again.

If you have an online business which sells a product, whether it’s a physical product, a membership or other information, you certainly need a reliable credit card processing system. Here are some of the things you should look for when choosing a company to handle your business.

• Security - You want your customers to know their credit card information is safe and secure. A secure server is a must.
• Fast Processing and quick approval - Helps you process orders sooner and leaves your customers satisfied.
• Accepts both debit and credit cards.
• Allows for recurring billing.
• Allows you to void a transaction.
• Easy installation and use.

In choosing an online credit card processing company, there are some other important questions to keep in mind too:

• Is there a monthly minimum? Does the company charge you  a monthly fee if you don’t have a certain number of orders?
• Do they charge an annual fee?
• Do they offer a compatible Internet gateway?
• Do they offer after hours support?

If your business is mobile or requires you to process credit card remotely. then you’ll also want to consider wireless credit card processing. If you’re just starting out, be sure and ask the same questions as above so you know up front there are no hidden fees and they offer the support you need.

If you take online orders, the right credit card processing can quickly take the worry out of your business.

The New Year is almost here and it could be time to start a new business sideline to make some quick money or even start a whole new career. Baby Boomers all need extra income so they can retire in style. Other reasons for needing quick money might be that a car that breaks down, or you’d like to start traveling or maybe just pay off some bills and provide basic household needs. Whatever reasons you might need money fast, here are a few ways to use the Internet to get that flow of cash into your bank account.

The Internet can provide anyone unlimited, legitimate opportunities to make money online. Choosing your money making method is the first step to earning an online income. Many of these online income opportunities require having your own blog or website, which I can also show you is easy, and inexpensive, to do.

Method #1 — Provide a Service to Businesses

One way to make money using the Internet is to provide a service online to businesses. There are many out there that are looking for people to drive traffic to their websites by posting on forums or on blogs or to write articles for them.

This is a good option if you have studied a little bit about Internet marketing and know how to do these things. You’ll probably earn a fee per hour or per job depending on how you make arrangements.

Method #2 — Affiliate Marketing

Many companies spend a lot of money on advertising. Part of this advertising budget includes paying affiliates to send traffic to their website. You can sign up for free with product or service, receive your affiliate links, which include banners, and post it on your blog or website, use it as your signature in emails and forums or simply let your friends know about these products. You are then paid a commission for any purchases made.

Many companies with affiliate programs are well known to you, such as Amazon.com and Google. Many pay immediately through pay pal so you get your money quickly.

Method #3 — Selling Your Own Information Product

If you are able to quickly create an e-book or other kind of information product, you can make quick money. You can simply drive traffic to your website through Pay Per Click, or by promoting your ebook on blogs and forums and you can start earning money right away.

You can see a common thread among these ways of making quick money is that they are all made possible through blogging.You can blog about your services or make a sales page for your services or ebook. You become an “expert” in your field by posting blog entries, which go up in the search engines. You add articles about the products you are promoting as an affiliate and add a link to the product.

Once you have your blog set up, with all the proper plug-ins to drive traffic to it, the rest is easy. If you know nothing about blogging, or if you’d like to set up a professional blog to help you earn money quickly through many avenues, you need The Niche Blogger Program. The Niche Blogger is a subscription site that takes you day by day through every single step to set up your first blog, then, using the same steps, you can create multiple blogs and begin earning real money fast. It even helps you choose a profitable topic, or several of them.

The Niche Blogger is affordable (in fact it can save you weeks or time and energy trying to figure things out on your own!) and you can cancel once you get your blog up and running. However, besides setting up a blog, The Niche Blogger program also teaches you to write and sell your own ebook, set up an automated email campaign and many other more advanced techniques to get you to where the real money is in blogging.

The program is set up like a blog, with steps to take each day and place for comments so you can get instant feedback if you have questions. There is also a helpful forum where you can get advice and tips.

To create a good retirement income for my husband and myself, I used The Niche Blogger program to set up several very profitable, self-hosted Wordpress blogs, including this one. You too can begin earning quick money on the Internet in 2010, by using The Niche Blogger Program.

Want to retire and live the RV lifestyle? Full time RVing can be a rewarding way to spend retirement,

When we began our search for ways to support full time RVing, I purchased Jaimie Hall’s book Support Your RV Lifestyle!

Jaimie interviewed full time RVers for over 10 years and put together their tips and advice for working on the road.

It’s possible to take your job with you using her recommendations and resources. First, you need to evaluate how much money you need to make, what sorts of qualifications you already have for making money on the road and setting goals for yourself.

Hall covers setting up your own business that you can take with you while RVing, like writing, or how to find jobs at campsites, state parks or through tourism bureaus or temporary or seasonal work for RVers. She even has a section on managing your RV expenses and lifestyle considerations which are taken from stories told to Hall by other RVers.

The resources for those who want to live the RV lifestyle are worth the price of the book. Get a complete listing of state parks and tourism offices, tax information, grocery shopping and budget work sheets, websites for job searches, budgeting, using computers on the road, how to do a job search for the type of job you want, how to get hired at parks or resorts and so much more! I refer to this book again and again in our planning.

Since I like to write, I am already planning an RV blog about our travels. If you’d like to make money blogging about your experiences or some aspect of the RV lifestyle, visit the The Niche Blogger - a terrific resource that I used to help me set up my five money-making blogs. The Niche Blogger is a subscription site but you can learn all you need to learn in about 3 months of the subscription. You can cancel at any time and keep reusing the information to set up more blogs.

Jaimie Hall also has a free ezine and blog about her RV lifestyle experiences.

At present, my husband and I are RV shopping and downsizing our possessions so we can hit the road in another year. I’ll keep you posted on our progress.
