My Bank Holiday Weekend (Pt 1): Setting up My first stream of income

In the UK it is Easter weekend. A time where the ’sales’ (which never seem to end), are back, and many people are enjoying their 4 days off to spend time with their families. Me on the other hand, am just sitting here at my crappy old computer, surfing the web to find interesting and thought- provoking ideas to bring to you lovely people.

My first thought when I set myself this challenge was to create a simple website - to sell (you guessed it) eBooks. A good friend of mine, Emma, decided to buy loads of eBooks ages ago with resell rights, and hadn’t done much with them. So I thought I would ask if I could sell the books for her, and split the profits 50/50. Of course she agreed.

She emailed me a HUGE zipped file of ebooks to me, and I spent some time to see what information was about, and what kind of products could be made from them. While I was doing this, I had already purchased my hosting and domain name with 1 & 1 Internet. I would recommend the 1&1 Business Package, as you get your database for wordpress, and also 3 domain names included, so you can use to for marketing.

My Goals: At present I am trying to find ways to distribute my products effectively, without having to email every product. I am also planning on using wordpress to run the website, as Google LOVES wordpress, and so the wordpress websites get listed quicker.

Keep a track of what I am doing, (obviously it is a work in progress): Selling eBooks.net.
