Getting started with information products/e-books

[gisele]

Hello! I'm looking for a bit of help getting started. I'm planning to write an information product (e-book, kit, etc.) about a specialized area relating to higher education (and possibly others on related subjects).

I guess I have some basic questions about getting started. These are probably obvious, but I hope you can help!

- Where can I easily set up a site that will allow me to sell an information product (ebook, kit, etc.) and replicate the site easily for other products in the future? Should I use Wordpress? Weebly?

- A-B testing -- How do I manage A-B testing for different versions of the website? Is there widely available software that will let me rotate among different versions on my site?

- What have you learned in the process of publishing ebooks/info products that might be helpful?

Thank you all so much!

Welcome gisele,

- Where can I easily set up a site that will allow me to sell an information product (ebook, kit, etc.) and replicate the site easily for other products in the future? Should I use Wordpress? Weebly?

A CMS (content management system) like wordpress can be fairly easily set up, a lot of web hosts will have a point and click facility that will make the installation even easier for you.

- A-B testing -- How do I manage A-B testing for different versions of the website? Is there widely available software that will let me rotate among different versions on my site?

There may be pre-made options out there, you should decide what how you're going to split your visitors first to see what options are available.

If time isn't a sensitive variable, you could customise your one website on a per-week basis...
