yuga, i collected my articles and published an ebook using it, but i think it is really hard to sell our ebooks using this site, as most of the persons told that we are in need to promote our things which is not easy

Hi VP
Look like these days you are working with ebooks too. I have saw few ebook titles on some other site you are selling or something.. (saw them from your site).. Well, I have no experience of these sites so can't help you on these.. But want to know about your experience.. How it is going for you?! On other site which you are already using, able to sold any ebook yet?!

Anand, it is really hard to sell ebooks, i am working hard for it, hope i will make a sales soon. Better to concentrate in the revenue sharing sites, where we can earn a good income based on the views

yes you can self publish at lulu.com, one of my books is published there, but you have to do your won marketing and that is not very easy.

I have my book published on Lulu, but so far had no sales there. I've had more success on Smashwords and Amazon Kindle. As Winterose states, you need to do your own publicity as well, and that can be very difficult.
It would help if you had your own website to help publicise your book as well. Remember to put in suitable meta-tags both in your book and also in your website (if you get one), this helps search engines to find the book.
You are not allowed to publicise your book on Mylot, but you are allowed to put a link to your website on your Mylot profile.

Hi friend, sad to hear about this, so it is really hard to make a sales with this site, i saw a lot of persons publish their books in this site as well as the cost is high like 750 dollars, really i wonder, does a person will buy an ebook for 750 dollars? Why we are not allowed to promote our ebook in mylot profile?
