Have you ever thought that you eBooks could be used to generate multiple streams of income? Instead of having only one revenue stream coming from them, use a little creativity to really push how much you can get from each eBook.

More specifically, you could actually make money by selling advertising space in the particular eBook that you’re creating.

Here is an example. An eBook on how to plan a wedding on a budget. When talking about weddings we are talking about a multi-billion dollar industry. Do you not think some companies would want to be able to advertise their products or services to customers who just bought a product that their business is build around?

It may sound like a simple question and answer, but that is the question I want all of you to ask yourself. What kind of businesses would be interested in getting in front of the people you will be attracting? This should be one of those creative questions you constantly ask yourself.

So let’s repeat it. What other businesses would be interested in getting in front of the target audience for which I would be attracting?

Once you start asking yourself this question all different businesses will come to mind. You may think of some of your competitors. You will also start to think of complimentary businesses who will want to provide their services and products to the particular market you’re marketing to by purchasing ad space in your eBook.

It is up to you how you put together you eBook with the ads. They could be scattered throughout, all together at the beginning or at the end. It doesn’t matter how you lay them out, it just provides you a method of generating revenue by selling advertising.

One way to use eBooks is to add value to you current customer base. An example of this is what I do to my email list. Now, I don’t have a very big email list, but I have a great relationship with those who are on my email list.

To maintain that relationship and provide my current costumers valuable information one thing I could do is create an eBook for them. It could summarize or give step by step directions on a subject that my email list has questions about.

I’m constantly trying to find win-win strategies to add value to you and vice versa, so that we can build a great relationship together.

Keep your eyes out for what your target market are wanting to know, or what business questions they may have. All you have to do then is develop an eBook outlining the procedure, give more information or answer they questions to solve that particular issue and they will see it as you providing great valuable information. This is something you should be constantly thinking about how you can boost your current relationships with your customers and an eBook is a great way to do this and selling advertising within it benefits you as well.

If you go into any business with that mindset, combined with a little creativity, you will quickly see all kinds of hidden opportunities for profit.

Ideas will come to you when you explore the possibilities of creativity!
