About Roger Ellman
Expertise
Helping small companies ensure their website has the right approach for greatest success in appealing to visitors, customers. Promotion effectively via the internet (but can answer only 1 or 2 specific questions at a time, here!). We know what works and what does not. We need a description of the website and the business it is serving (or intends to). I will try to proffer advice that bridges the gap between the "tech" or "IT" people and those with less of a technical approach. If you have the idea and are business-savvy - but the "newspeak" of high technology gets you down, you`ve come to the right place!

E-Commerce, Web Businesses - Best time to sell an ebook about making money


Expert: Roger Ellman - 12/20/2005

Question
Hello there, how are you going? I was wondering if I could ask you a
question about the internet if that's okay. I was just wondering, if you
sell a money making ebook on the internet, what have you found in
your experience is the best months of the year that people buy them?
I am assuming that just before Christmas is a silly time for me to try to
sell them to people or put ads out, because everybody is busy worring
about Christmas and buying presents, but just after Christimas, say in
January or February would be the best time because that is when
people start to worry about their Christmas credit card bills. What
is your opinion of this? Or, do you think that January is a silly time
to put ads out too, as everybody is still on holidays? Thank you very
much for your time, I do appreciate it, from Christina


Answer
Christina

I have no actual experience in the area of ebooks at all. It does not help that the only ebooks I have ever received personally have been bonuses or gifts accompanying other services or products. However I would buy - yes pay for - an ebook if it was of value to me just as with any other purchase I make!

My personal feeling (do not accord this much of a score in your decision-making) is that it is better to wait until end of February or March just as you are inclined to do, but this is not based on market knowledg or date, just other businesses I run or have owned!

Do have - before the ebook I think - a fine Xmas and most successful New Year and my best wishes with your project.
Roger
