Selling 1p eBooks are ideal for backend sales and website sales.
Total utter rubbish! Do you honestly believe that people who pay 1p for an eBook will bother to read it? Maybe 5% will. But that means you have to sell 100 just to get 5 visitors to your website.
Not only that, but buyers of 1p eBooks are freebie seekers and not willing to loosen the purse strings so to speak. If you’re selling an eBook for just ?5 on your website, can you really imagine them whipping out the plastic?
The main reason people buy 1p eBooks are to build feedback points, they’re not going to take a second glance at your eBook.

Last Monday I met with a new client – a representative of a local university. She was a very cheerful lady but had no marketing background, and was completely in the dark about what promo item to choose. At the top of her list were custom magnets – she wanted refrigerator magnets with her university logo, and she wanted the enrollment and inquiry trunk line imprinted, too.I could see where she was coming from. Magnets
Nope, wrong again! eBayers aren’t stupid. They’ll see you’re selling hundreds of items for 1p and they know the feedback comments you get mean diddly squat.
In addition to that, the majority of buyers aren’t going to bother leaving you feedback for a 1p purchase, especially if it’s of poor quality.
Instead, invest in a few resale rights products that you can sell for ?2 - ?3 - ?4 and make a few CONSISTENT sales every day. If you just make 3 sales from one product per day and have 15 products that you’re selling, then that’s excellent profit potential and you’re building a solid, positive feedback that will be respected by eBay members.
