Just about anyone can create an Internet marketing ebook. All you have to do is read some poor-quality Internet marketing articles, re-hash the material, put it into PDF format, and use bold, size 36 font to artificially boost the page count. After a single night of frantic paraphrasing and borderline-plagiarism, you should have a poor-quality PDF that you can trick at least a few people into buying.

You are now ready to write your salespage. Fill it with outright lies, false promises, and dubious claims that cannot be verified. Last, plaster spammy links to your ebooks on people's blogs and in public forums. Ignore any rules that say you can't do that. Your goal here is to make $1,000,000 by tomorrow afternoon. You don't have time to write a good ebook and market it in a sensible and honest way. That might take a whole week.

If the above paragraphs sound familiar - you've probably spent some time reading Internet marketing ebooks. Many "get rich quick" Internet marketing schemes will tell you to do something quite similar. They'll tell you to ignore sensible marketing plans; to forget writing high-quality ebooks; and to instead focus on churning out low-quality info products and ramming them down people's throats before they get the chance to think (and realize your deal is a total waste of money).

I'm going to advocate that you do something entirely different. First, calm down. You aren't going to make $1,000,000 tonight, so stop creating fantasy business plans that involve you getting rich tomorrow. Second - once you've dampened your expectations - start thinking about how your unique set of knowledge and skills can benefit Internet marketers. Big sellers are big sellers for a reason: they know who wants what; and they deliver it to them. It makes selling a whole lot easier.

Instead of doing all of this, start by figuring out a good topic you can cover in an ebook. Think of something that you and everyone else really need to understand better in order to be successful (or more successful) as an Internet marketer. Take joint ventures, for instance. If you were able to find 4-5 strong joint venture partners for each product you launched, you'd have no problem selling them.

Perhaps you struggle with finding freelance coders at a reasonable price who are also reliable. If this is the case, then the stage is already set for your ebook. All you have to do is conduct some research, figure out the many ways in which you can find a good coder; and then record your process as you hire them for various projects that you had to do, anyway. Take notes and screenshots as you go; and then make an ebook out of all of your records. When you're finished, download a copy of Open Office, copy and paste your document into the word processing program, format it; and then convert into PDF format by clicking the "PDF" icon.

Next, you will have to create a strong, compelling salespage for your ebook. This is another project in itself. I personally suggest getting some advice at the Success Doctor forums. Once you've completed your salespage, you will want to search around for a good place to sell. If you want to use affiliates, you should also start an account with Clickbank. You'll have to pay an initial $50 fee, but from there on, you (and your affiliates) will be able to use their link-creation and payment services - and that will help you to save a considerable amount of time.

If you decide not do use affiliates, you'd be better off simply using PayPal for the payment links on your salespage. If you do this, you can receive and transfer payments instantaneously. Once you have setup your salespage with a payment button, all you have to do is start looking for some small, highly-targeted venues. Since you're selling an IM product, you may want to consider Warrior Forum. But regardless of what you end up doing, always try to keep the big picture in mind: try to use long term strategies; try to sell things that are in demand; and, above all else, try to look for people who actually want to buy from you.
