Andrew and Daryl Grant – Steps To Selling Your EBook Online
Just arrived back from our holiday in beautiful Coffs Harbour (that’s in New South Wales Australia for those not local). We had a great time but unfortunately I probably had a better time than Will as he had the flu, so he is happy to be safe and sound in his own bed.
This post begins a six part series from Andrew and Daryl Grant on how to sell your ebook online. We originally started in their ebook mentoring program – see the banner on the right hand side or simply click this link to have a look at this website:

We then progressed into their Our Internet Secrets program. I will be writing a review of this program later on but if you cannot wait to find out more just follow this link to find out about their amazing 4 day workshop. It truly was the best workshop I have ever been to:

These are the steps that we followed to write our first two ebooks. If you want to look at our ebooks them go to:

Step One – Identify A Potential Topic
You are after a topic which lots of people are looking for, and where people “must have” (rather than “need”) the product.
You also want a “niche”, ie a topic which is not too general. For example, “health” is far too general, but “melanoma” is specific enough.
You don’t necessarily need to know anything about the topic, but it helps if it’s something you are interested in.
The tool we use to determine how popular ideas are is http://www.keyworddiscovery.com/search.html.

Once you have come up with some ideas, search for the key words you think people interested in a topic might look for. You are looking for words or phrases which total more than 30,000 hits per month on keyworddiscovery for your topic. For example if you type in “skin cancer” you get over 53,000 hits per month.
Next do a search on Google for the same words. You are looking for:
- The number of websites on the topic (you want this to be in the millions)
- Existing ads. You don’t want a topic where someone is already using a good sales letter and selling an e-book. You also don’t want heaps of ads, otherwise you end up paying too much per click to get in the top three.
The Grants talk about using the keyword discovery tool but there is a much easier way now with the Google Keyword Tool. Just go to: https://adwords.google.com.au/select/KeywordToolExternal
This is only the first step. Stay posted for the next 5 steps. I cannot stress how useful this information has been to us in getting started with our online business and I hope it helps you also.
Until next time
