Should such be taken to mean that your eBook has ceased being a moneymaker and should be put to rest already?
Two words: absolutely not!
In the event that your eBook has arrived at the finish line of its shelf life, you can still earn from such by pursuing other courses of action and effectuating new methodologies. Your "old dog" still got some life in it, and its just boils down to deciding on the right forum for what it can offer.
Let's discuss 5 method which you can use to continue to earn from old digital products:
1. Attach resale rights to your information product. By selling your item with the added incentive in the form of the profit opportunity of being enabled to resell such for profit, you will be tapping into a fresh audience - internet entrepreneurs who are consistently on the lookout for items to sell. Furthermore, by attaching resale rights to your eBook, you can offer it for at least four times more than your regular price.
2. Sell private label rights to your eBook. PLR is much like resale rights, but, PLR provides the liberty to change, alter and/or modify the product, together with the power to attach the wielder's name as the creator of the same. Some product creators wish to maintain the structure and integrity of their products and only include the more restrictive resale rights. However, there are a number product originators just want to profit from their eBooks and they provide the grandest rights possible, namely PLR, to command the grandest price that can be garnered.
3. Divide your information product and use the separated parts for many internet business purposes. Articles? As informative content for your web pages? An e-course? As messages for your newsletter? Your seemingly dead information product can be an excellent resource for such necessities.
4. Re-brand your information product and use it as a viral marketing seed. Embed your URL on each page and distribute the eBook for free. Watch the number of visitors generated to your website expand at an ever growing rate.
5. Make your information product into a physical product and sell such in online or brick and mortar bookstores. There are several fulfillment services on the World Wide Web that specialize on such a task. My personal favorite is Lulu.com, for the sole reason that they don't impose a specific quantity for their allowable minimum order.
