The Power of the Brandable eBook

If you have not heard or seen a brandable eBook then you have probably missed out on a whole lot of money. A brandable eBook is different to a conventional eBook in that you can brand (change) the links to your own or change the link with your affiliate id link or a link to your website. Doing this allows you to in affect make the eBook your own without actually writing a single word.

Imagine selling an eBook on eBay to a customer? You will make the grand total of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, Dollars at most! Now imagine selling an eBook which incorporates hyperlinks back to a higher priced product on the backend of your eBook sale, e.g. a member’s area package, mentoring or a larger collection of eBooks for triple the original selling price. This type of eBook will obviously create more revenue than the original selling price of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, Dollars as you will make money from the backend sale too.

Now this type of eBook is all well and good, but do you actually have the time and creativity to do it? We all have the creativity, but not the time! So you now this is where the brandable eBook comes into play. Why write your own eBook and create your own products, when you can simply become an affiliate of another marketer’s success and use their products as your own. This task involves signing up for the affiliate program and simply branding their eBook and giving it away or selling it on eBay. I say giving it away because, if you remember the backend sale is worth more than the initial eBook alone, and people love free stuff! So you always have the chance of a sale for every eBook you give away. I get multiple questions from guys asking me “can people steal my eBooks from my webspace?” of course they can, it’s not easy but it is possible. I wish 1,000,000,000,000 people would steal my brandable and affiliated eBooks I would be a very rich man!

If you have wrote your own eBook, you can make your own eBook brandable. Now you maybe thinking “I don’t want to give half my money away or why should I let someone have a link in my eBook to their website!” well this will work for you. Imagine selling your own eBook with links to your backend or higher priced product on your own? As an example your sales maybe 10 per week, however if you make your links brandable, and allow guys to sell your eBook which gives them 50% commission or links to their website or their product, you are going to sell a whole lot more. This is what we call “Viral” as in, it spreads like a virus would. If you imagine all eBook sellers selling your eBook instead of just you, then you are going to make a lot more revenue in the long run.

If you use text converted to PDF to write your eBooks, you can use this brander tool, ViralPDF which is excellent for creating your brandable eBooks.

Things you need to remember when creating your brandable eBooks

1, Ensure you include the eBook sales page and eBook graphics with the eBook. The easier it is for guys to sell your eBook the better. There are countless times I have seen eBooks with resale rights and no sales letter or graphics to speak of.

2, Make the brandable link appealing with a good commission structure and at least 4-5 brandable links. Don’t make your eBook brandable and only allow your potential brander to brand only 30% of links. Let them brand 99% of links. This will increase promotion.

3, Do not have evidence inside the actual eBook that it is brandable, use a folder! If you do this then all the guys your eBook is sold or given to will not resell as they know the eBook is full of branded links, also the new recipient will re-brand the links thus taking away the commission sale from the guy who sold it or gave it to them.

This leaves two options:

1, you yourself can only be the sole seller of the brandable eBook. all buyers must remove the branding tool after branding. Have a separate PDF document in the same folder as your eBook, explaining the eBook can be branded. Have a step by step process explaining how to brand your eBook. Once the eBook has been branded, your reseller can delete your branding instructions and also any branding tools, this removes all evidence of branding.

2, you can allow the buyers of your brandable eBook to sell the branding tool along with the eBook at a higher price. So others can use the branding tool, thus creating a viral effect via a third party.

Basically the golden rule is “get your brandable eBook out there, any which way you can!”

For both creator of brandable eBooks and sellers of branded eBooks the advantages work for both parties and everyone wins.
