Everyday more and more people are making a living out of selling information products on eBay. They set up an automated information products business, because it does not require much time nor money and it can bring great returns.

What is an information product? As its name indicates, is a product full of information, which is normally sold as an ebook. This information can be about anything (although you obviously want to sell an ebook in which people will be interested), from how to sell your used car to magic tricks; the scope is inmense.

Browse on eBay by searching for "ebook" and ticking "search in both item title and description". You will see what is being sold at the moment: ebooks about UFO phenomena, how to get traffic to your website, how to read music, body-building, even the Bible.

You can choose to do a bit of research on a topic that people would be interested in and put together an ebook, or you can sell public domain information, like the Grimm brothers fairy tales, Kafka's works, or Poe's poems.

Why information products? What is the added value on selling information products? It has many advantages both for you and for your customers. It avoids the three "S": stocking, selling, and shipping. You do not need to spend anything on production nor in shipping costs. Pretty much all you need is a computer and conexion to the Internet. You do not need to do much selling, other than writing your listing: you put it on eBay and the customers buy it without you having to say anything. It is advisable to keep account of the information products you sell.

Why automated? Setting up an autoresponder system allows you to have the sale completed without you having to "be" there. Once the payment received confirmation email comes into your email address, with the autoresponder system the customer immediatley gets their email with the downloadable ebook.

This is obviously very convenient for the customer and for you. They obtain instant gratification, it works like in a shop: they pay, and they get what they want immediately. You can be spending your time in any other thing in that time, as you know that they will get their product thanks to the autoresponder. In the listing, tell the customers to send you an email if they have problems downloading the ebook. The only thing that you need to do after the sale is check your email for possible enquiries. Not much of your time.

Creating (or finding) and selling information products is a very good investment. And I say investment because you spend your time and effort once putting down all that information you have researched, or the public domain content you have found. Then you do not need to do any other thing than listing the item over and over again, being that part of your catalogue of items to sell.

The little amount of time and money required is making many eBayers set up eBay shops and gain an income out if. It can be developed part-time, at your convenience, it does not depend on timetables and you are the boss. Why not start selling information products on eBay today?

Why the rush to write? After reading this ...
By: Marion Hanenmann | 04-07-2008
Why the rush to write?   After reading this article, my gut feeling was that Hans and Teri Rotter were the victims of a conspiratorial plot to oust them.  Mr. Rotter was in the hospital for a serious heart condition.  Rather than postpone the board meeting to allow him the opportunity to explain his actions, the members of the Alpine Board decided to go ahead and hold the meeting with only Mrs. Rotter present.  Rather than sit through all the accusations against her husband, Mrs. Rotter left the board meeting before it ended.  The Rotter?s daughter and son-in-law were installed as the new managers of Alpine that night.  Immediately after the meeting ended, all the locks to Alpine Village were changed.  It was, for all intents and purposes, a nice and tidy ?take over.?  Was not the writer of this article, Mr. Green, aware of the above circumstances?  In Mr. Green?s article he stated that the Rotters were not available for comment.  This being the case, does Mr. Green think he is ethically justified in writing a smear piece on two individuals who for over 40 years have been stalwart leaders in the community, are well-loved and admired by everyone whose lives they?ve touched?  Why the rush to write?.to print such a ?one-sided? article?  Could not Mr. Green have waited a few days until Mr. Rotter returned home from the hospital and given time to digest the events that had just transpired before making any statements or comments?  After all, the Rotters were the ?face of Alpine Village? and deserved better treatment and consideration before this rush-to-judgment article was written.    As far as I?m concerned, Alpine Village will not be the same without Hans and Teri Rotter.  They were one of the main reasons why people frequented Alpine from far and near.  The ever gracious ?Aunty Teri? as she is affectionately called, has a place in all our hearts.   This couple is stellar.  Their sense of ethics and integrity are irreproachable.  They were an extremely effective and trustworthy team that managed Alpine for 40 years resulting in increased profits for Alpine.  They were truly a force for good. In closing, I encourage Mr. Green and the Daily Breeze to right the wrong of this article by allowing the Rotters an opportunity to tell their side of the story and to print an article that is both fair and balanced so that we, the readers, will have the ?whole? story.Marion Hannemann, Torrance
