OK, so you can't sell ebooks on eBay for automatic download and all you can see is more work in burning CD's, creating packaging, and postage. All guaranteed to eat into your profits - more work and less money. There is a better way and it can be described in four easy steps:

Step 1 - Create your ebook. If you are good at writing then you may choose to write your own. Alternatively you can buy ready made ebooks with resell rights although these have the disadvantage of containing links to other peoples websites and products. I would strongly recommend creating a professional ebook cover. Many people use Adobe Photoshop to create their covers but its not cheap. I use a free alternative called "The Gimp" which is very similar to Photoshop but is available for free download.

Step 2 - Use Kunaki to create your product. Kunaki is a CD/DVD manufacturing and publishing service. Briefly it gives you retail quality products, which are produced, packed and delivered straight to your customers door. This takes all the work out of creating your product and getting it delivered. Prices are very reasonable and the finished product is very professional.

Step 3 - Use eBay to sell your ebook on CD/DVD. Use commonly available eBay templates to give your selling page a professional look. If its your own ebook with links to your website included then sell the resale rights along with the ebook. Basically this allows the buyer to resell the ebook (provided it remains unchanged). This means more free advertising for your website and more visitors.

Step 4 - Use Discmojo to automate the process of taking your eBay orders, transferring them to Kunaki for creation, packaging and delivery. Discmojo is new software which basically automates the entire process. I can't recommend it enough and it really takes the work out of selling information products on eBay.
