    Hi Lucy,
    I sell many ebooks on many subjects bu I'm unsure what you mean TBH. Do you mean write your own ebook? Or maybe ghostwrite an ebook? Selling ebooks?
    Let me know and I'll point you in the right direction.

    Kind of typing up other peoples ebooks (who many not have the time) or books which have been published in paper form and now need to be electronic.

    Hope no-one minds me hijacking thread but I have 1000s of ebooks which I must get sold. Do you sell yours on ebay and if so how do you separate them out, which ones sell best? I have a wide genre available but am unsure of wht to do with them and frankly need the extra cash.
    Sorry again and thanks in advance

    Oh ok. Never heard of this before. All my ebooks offer printing instructions. If it's printing other people's ebooks then you'd need the writers permission and obviously you can't sell the work.

    My ebooks are sold on clickbank or via jv's (joint ventures) with partners in the same field. However the ebooks need to be your own work. All my ebooks are in the health niche. Each one has it's own website. I do cross sell after they buy. They're priced at $27 to $47

    I think Lucy meant typing up books other people have written. Hand written or dictated then she types them up prior to publishing. And books that were written so long ago that no electronic copy exists but the publisher wants to release an electronic copy.

    Oh ok Joe. Sorry you might be right. Yes public domain books can make you a lot of money if you find the right market for them and they still have relevance today. Not something I do but I know of people that have done very well in this.
