Is it easy to sell ebooks and make money?

If you are good at writing, or have money to hire a writer to write ebooks, creating an ebook is very simple. If you publish your ebook on Amazon Direct Publishing (Kindle in short), you can even design a book cover very easily (it has easy drag and drop tool for cover creation). However, the main question is is it easy to sell ebooks and make money?

The truth is you won't get rich quick by publishing ebooks. If someone tells you you can actually tons of money through ebooks and it is very easy, either the person is lying or does not actually understand what it takes to make money from ebooks. Simply because you can publish ebooks for free does not imply that you will start making a lot of money.
First and foremost, you must devote considerable effort to writing your book. Secondly, you need to do SEO and digital marketing. You might even have to run paid ads to drive sales.

Writing an ebook is simple. You just can't boot your laptop, open a word program and start writing the ebook. Before you write that ebook, you must first identify a profitable niche. A profitable niche means a topic that sells high. You will then need to conduct research on your chosen niche. Your research should be focused on checking whether the competition is high. You should also do research and find related information on your chosen niche. After your book is published, you will need to work hard to market it, you need to do SEO, social media promotion, create book events, launch an ad campaign, etc. Hundreds of thousand ebooks are published on various ebook markets every day, so you need to find a strategy to stand out. Making money from ebooks is a combined effort, if you don't have multiple skills you will end up with zero sales.

The answer is yes! But it's not easy, and it takes a lot of work. The best thing about ebooks is that they're so cheap to produce—you can buy an ebook template for as little as $10, and you can spend less than $1 to make your own ebook. You don't even have to hire a professional editor to do it.

But if you want to make money with your ebooks, you'll need to sell them somewhere. And that's where things get tricky. If your ebook isn't on Amazon (or some other major bookseller) then people can't find it! Your best option might be to get it published through a self-publishing service like Kindle Direct Publishing or CreateSpace. There are also other services that allow you to publish directly from home, but these tend to cost more money up front and require more work on your part than going through an established publishing company.
