For businesses, sources of revenue to keep the company going are vitally important, and so they focus a lot of attention on advertising and drawing in customers. Oftentimes, however, just selling products or services isn’t enough and they need to find extra sources of revenue. This can be in many ways, such as affiliate Marketing or selling ad space on blogs. One other way that a company can make some money is with e-books.

How can an e-book make you money? There are many ways.

Thanks to the popularity of mobile devices like tablets, and e-readers like Nook, iBooks for iPad, and Amazon Kindle, people can easily read books whilst on the go without having to carry bulky paperbacks or hardbacks around. The advent of e-books and self-publishing make it easy for people to not just buy books but also sell them, and self-publishing allows people to easily publish their books on their own without having to use an agent or publishing house.

E-books provide an easy outlet for companies to put out useful and interesting information in relation to their company and industry, and the popularity of e-books means they will be able to reach many people with them.

When publishing an e-book the company can easily insert the address for the website in the book and hyperlink it so that the reader can quickly and easily visit the website if they are interested in learning more about what they read or want to purchase something after what they read.

It’s easy for a company to publish an e-book and make it available for sale on their website, or offer it as downloadable content from their website as an advertising gimmick or make it a free gift for signing up for a newsletter or something. It’s a way to draw in traffic and get potential customers, especially with the website’s URL included in the book.

But thanks to self-publishing companies like Smashwords, or even Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing, it’s possible to make your e-book available for sale in online bookstores, and that can expand the reach of your book further than just having it available on your website, and you will also earn sales revenue for the book. You can also have it available in print form, as well.

If you want to make any real money with the e-book then, as with having anything available for sale, there will have to be at least some marketing done to spread the word about the e-book so people will look for it. Otherwise, you can just put the book out there for sale and just consider any revenue from sales of it as a nice surprise.

If you want to seriously try to make some money with e-books, you can find tips for making money with e-books by going here and here. And try to avoid some of these mistakes.
