1. Link to books on Amazon and receive commissions

If you have a web site, you can make money by linking from your pages to books and other items on Amazon.com.

You make money when someone clicks through from your link and makes a purchase on Amazon, which will pay you a commission.

You don't actually handle any books with this method. You just send people over to Amazon and collect a reward when they buy something.

You can link to any book on Amazon, but you should try to link to books related to the theme of your site.

For more information and to sign up, go to Amazon and look for a link to the "Associates Program."

2. Sell used books on Amazon and eBay

Some people make a full-time living with this.

First, find used books that you can buy inexpensively. Try thrift stores, yard sales, and your local library's annual book sale.

Next, list your book finds on Amazon. You should be able to sell them there for at least four or five times what you paid for them.

You can also sell books on eBay, but in my experience, it is better to use eBay only for collectible and rare books.

3. Write and sell ebooks

Probably more people have made major money with this idea than with any of the others described here.

Write a book on a hot topic, convert it to a PDF file and offer it for sale over the web. "How-to" is by far the most popular and best-selling subject category.

Because your buyers download your ebook directly to their computers, you avoid most of the expenses associated with traditional book publishing. Most of the money you take in will be pure profit.

Of course, you must first write the book or "information product." There are a number of excellent guides available that show how to come up with an idea, research it, and then get your book down on paper--or "on screen" in this case.

Once you've created your ebook, you must gain your prospective buyers' attention and persuade them to purchase. This usually involves crafting and posting a good sales letter that will make people eager to whip out their credit cards.

4. Republish books that are in the public domain

Did you know that there are thousands and thousands of books and other printed works whose copyright
