Now and then I'm asked by more experienced eBook publishers if there's a way for them to make even more money from the eBooks that they publish.
After speaking to them for a short while and getting a better understanding of their business model, I usually arrive at the same recommendation every time: start promoting relevant affiliate offers from within the pages of your eBook.
Before we go any further, let me clarify something.
Nothing is more annoying to me as an eBook consumer to purchase a publication that's devoid of any meaningful content, and instead stuffed with ads.
Look, you can't make everyone happy.
I recently interacted with an emotionally disturbed individual who sent me over 15 e-mails complaining about a SINGLE affiliate link in an eBook pertaining to (of all things) the game of paintball.
But here's the deal...
those affiliate links, if relevant and appropriate to the topic, can not only help your readers, but also earn you more money.
When you analyze your financial situation before adding affiliate links and after adding affiliate links, you're likely to notice that your overall revenue has increased by 10 to 20 percent.
Here's the bottom line.
If you want to get the most money possible from the eBooks that you publish, I strongly suggest you consider selectively embedding relevant affiliate links with the pages of your electronic books.
When done correctly, you're providing additional value for your reader while at the same time providing yourself with a legitimate opportunity to increase your income.
It's the ultimate win-win situation.
