Every day I see people here complaining that they donīt make any money from their site. Thatīs because they are advertising other peopleīs products for peanuts, or using affiliate programs that turn to be rip offīs.
Why donīt you sell "your own product", or better, why donīt you resell it? Buy from someone else the right to resell, and sell that product for whatever you want.
I started doing that, reselling ebooks.

Another program that Iīll try is <snip> program. Because people canīt buy directly from them, it seems a more honest affiliate program..
Anyone who wants to subscribe has to sign up from an affiliate. The other program that Iīm trying is the referral program from my Credit Card Merchant, because it isnīt vey well known yet, and it offers some neat features for webmasters.

Heck, one of my own books (published by McGraw-Hill) was made available in an e-book edition. I've never seen an e-book sale on my royalty statements, though.
Good luck with that one.
My experience: if someone tries to sell to you the RIGHT to sell anything (ridiculous) you can be pretty sure that he is not able to make ANY money out of selling the product itself.
To me those things always sound pretty much like MLM.

Has anyone here ever bought an e-book?
One question....Has anyone here ever bought an e-book?
Yes.
I've purchased 2, one of which contained information that has produced perhaps the best ROI of any money I've ever spent.

j/k... please refrain from sticky requests.

He earns more money selling the rights to other webmasters to sell them :) Maybe you already heard about Tom Hua. He wrote some ebooks, and ask other writers to join the package and sell him the rights. Probably they would never be able to properly advertise their ebooks, so this is a better way to receive some money.
Iīve bought some ebooks in these last years ( and my tired eyes knows that :( ), and some of them are really good. I bought this reseller pack for less than Iīve bought some regular ebooks, so I havenīt lost nothing. To be honest I still didnīt read them, but I plan to read some of them... when my eyes be fully rested. I still prefer a good paper book, but some good ebooks arenīt in paper...

Sold the first reseller package, and I started the site only 5 days ago :) The site isnīt even indexed in any engine except MSN. Not bad at all :)
Sincerely,
