What is an E-book
An E-book is an information product on anything that teaches you how to do something (like an e-book on how to invest in real estate) and which usually comes in PDF or Doc format.
You can create your e-book. It is a no brainer. It should be on something you are an expert on. I’ve been creating eBooks since 2018.
The best part about eBooks is they are easy to create, and you can sell them for a long time. I.e., you don’t go out of stock because it is a digital product.
The eBook I wrote in 2018 was bundled with some other products. I didn’t have to update it again until 2019. I sold it for one year!
That particular product generated hundreds of dollars in revenue for my blogging business.
So that is it.
The right way to get started making money selling ebooks online in Nigeria is by finding your market first Before you think about what people can pay you for there is one thing I’ll like to talk about, and I want you to think about it very carefully.
It will determine the success or otherwise of your business. You see, there is a mistake a lot of people make in this online e-book selling business.
They come up with a product before they determine their market Bullshit.
That is the wrong approach. You won’t make good money this way. The best way is to determine a market and then create a product for them.
I hope I’m not contradicting myself here. I said you should come up with a product idea, yet, I’m asking you to determine your market first.
Yes, you can think and brainstorm about product ideas, but before you create them and bring them into the market, make sure there is a market for them.
This will give you a hedge over others in the same niche as you.
How?
No matter how competitive your niche is, if you are good at what you do, you will surely outsell others and save your spot in the marketplace because you have something inside of you that’s not inside of another person, that’s going to make people want to buy from you.
As simple as that. I understand that there is no competition making money by selling ebooks online in Nigeria. The way you lay your bed, that how you are going to lie on it.
How do you determine what people want?
This is a problem for a lot of people. They don’t know how to determine what a lot of people want so they can create products for them. For you, it’s shouldn’t be a problem.
How to Identify A Problem
This is the fastest way for you to succeed with your product. Can you come up with a product that can solve a problem for people?
Once you can identify a problem, you’re ready to make money selling ebooks online in Nigeria.
Let me give you an example. Back in 2019, everywhere I turn to online, I find out that a lot of people are looking for a way to be able to start a blog and make money through blogging.
Personally, that was where I got the inspiration to write my second e-book I titled The Blogging Book that shows you everything you need to know about blogging.
Ranging from the different blogging platform and their benefits
- Creating a blog
- Customizing it
- Promoting it
- SEO
- Vlog
- And making money at the end.
The first e-book I wrote about blogging was Blog wealth formula.
That was where I shared my case study of how I started my blog (mitrobe) and made $100 my first month of blogging without Adsense. Get a download link here.
I priced the Blogging Book (it’s also available as a product) at $5 (N2, 000) and about 20 people have taken me up on it on the very first day I launched it back in 2019, and up till then, I have been upselling/down selling. If you need a copy use the form below.
I identified a problem and gave a solution. Remember I spent time and money to learn it and now I have recovered and gained from what I have paid, and I will keep earning from what I have to Learn.
But Johnmiracle Ejikeme, I can’t write. I’m not a professional!
This is a big problem for a lot of people. Most people I teach tell me that they won’t be able to create an ebook or manual because of they are not prolific writers.
I often tell them that they don’t have to write like the Top Marketers or like I do. Just write what’s in your mind and teach as honestly as you can, and you will be okay.
I don’t have any idea about any product
Still not a problem. Many people just don’t know how to start with the creation of their products. It could be a daunting task for beginners. Not to worry, we can find ways around that as well.

Interview An Expert
Once you have decided on a topic, identify an expert in that field, and interview him. Record the interview and use an audio information product. You can turn it into a manual by transcribing it.
Conduct A Seminar/Training
This is another simple way to go about it. It is similar to the one above. Organize a free or cheap seminar and have it recorded. Your recording becomes an information product. You don’t have to be the speaker. Invite an expert and just do the recording.

Listen Up! If you’re ready to create information products, the fast and easy way, this is the route to go. With private label rights products, you can create your information products in the next 10 to 15 minutes.
Sounds too good to be true? If you know how to use this technique, you can make money selling ebooks online a killing business.
What Are Private Label Materials?
Private label rights products are products you buy, ultimately with its copyrights.
This means that once you purchase the products, you have the right to sell it as yours, and you keep the money.
You can put your name as the author. You can edit as you want, adds and remove from it.
There are loads of private label materials flying all over the Internet. If you want 100 ebooks within the next 10 minutes, you can get them.
So having your personal information products is easy. Getting private label rights is easy.
Just go to google.com and type in “private label rights” or individual label rights ebooks” without the quotes. You will come up with quite a few offers within a short time.
How long should my eBook be?
As long as necessary. ? Your ebook should be at least 40 pages so the buyer will see the value in it. That doesn’t mean it has to be 40 pages, single spaced,a 14-point font in an A4 page size.
Format it how you like – big fonts, pictures, infographics, charts, lots of white space.
Just try not to beat around the bush, go straight to the point.
Ask yourself this question:
If I bought this book, would I feel like I got a good deal?
How do I format an eBook?
E-Books are delivered in PDF format. You can do it yourself by printing a Microsoft Word file or Google Doc to PDF format. It takes about 2 seconds.
If you want a nice cover you can hire a graphics artist on Fiverr or Upwork to create one for you.
You will pay anywhere from $5 (Fiverr) for a simple cover to $299 if you use a service like 99Designs.
Alternatively, you can create a beautiful cover for your e-book with canva
I used Canva for the cover of my book INFORMATION MARKETING. Using can’va to do great jobs all depends on your creativity.
How much should I charge for my eBook?
It is kind of a dumb question. I’ve paid $15 for eBooks that were 30 pages long. I’ve also paid $20 for eBooks that were 100 pages long.
How you price your eBook is based on the value you provide, and how your book compares to similar products (if there are any). A good price point is less than $10.
Most people are willing to part with $10 for a book.
If you are an expert in a particular field, you can get away with charging more.
Most people get caught up in confusion when it comes to the pricing of their e-book.
Some feel if I put the price too high, I won’t get any sales, they will complain that’s also cost, and if I put the price too low, they would say it too cheap and for that, they won’t value it.
