Selling ebooks on eBay written & edited by yourself is a good profitable business. Its something like your are tell the world about your interest, your thoughts abt certain topic and earning money when one wants to read it. Because its of digital nature, you dont have to incure cost on postage, stocks etc. What you guys think?

I have few books with rights to sell them too but really do not know how to go about doing it on e-bay. can you tell me how you do that on e-bay. I know you have to open a strew there but I don't know what to do after that.

You dont really have to open a store on ebay to sell things. Just register on ebay as a seller and give them your paypal id. You you didnt yet opened the paypal account then open it at www.paypal.com . Now you are ready to sell your ebooks. Just make a nice page listing your ebooks and price for the same. You can choose from several templates available on ebay. Happy selling.

Yes, it sounds good butreally, what would you write about that others would want to pay for. There are so many instructions bookd out on every subject available is there anything left worth writing about?

Just sit for 10 mins, relax and think. There are so many things that you can write about. The best thing is you can write short stories about things that happened in your life and at the end of each story try to find out a moral or learning. I think there are lot many people out there who are interested in your life. (Give me points if you liked this idea)

Well I think it is a nice idea, since it cost less. But how about the ISBN #? Is that also included on the e-book, I think it is essential for e-books to have their ISBN #m please correct me if I'm wrong.

Selling ebooks is a great idea, IF you're not trying to sell one of the kajillion already posted. If you create your own, then I wish you lots of luck! There are so many things you could write about. Any possible interest or hobby, any skill you happen to be good at, recipes, stories, poetry, and the list goes on. It's only inhibited by your own imagination. Also, on a similar note, if you have a book that you would like to sell as an ebook and/or regular book, check out lulu.com. They will actually print on demand, and I believe you are only charged when you sell something. They take a percentage. Seems like a pretty good deal, if you're an aspiring writer!
