How to Make $500/Month Selling Ebooks

💡 Making Six Figures from $12 Ebooks?! 💡

In 2017, I was listening to a podcast that was interviewing a blogger to learn more about how she made money as a full time blogger. She had made over six figures by selling her $12 recipe ebooks.

I remember reading that and thinking, wait… what?! That was the moment everything clicked. She wasn’t famous. Her blog wasn't huge... but she had something to offer— and people were buying it. 

🎉 Writing My First Ebook 🎉

Not long after, I wrote my very first ebook. It was a simple guide on how to do Disneyland with a baby (because I was preparing for a trip with my daughter, and I knew other moms were searching for that exact info).

I sold it for $10 and when those first sales came in… I was hooked.  I realized I could get paid for sharing things I already knew — and that I didn’t need to wait until I had some massive platform to start.

Since then, I’ve made THOUSANDS of dollars from ebooks and digital guides — and I want you to know that it’s possible for you too. 💕

📚 Why Ebooks Are a Smart Income Stream (Especially if You’re a Coach or Creative) 📚

If you’re a service provider, coach, creative, or just someone with knowledge or experience that others could benefit from… ebooks are kind of the dream. 

Here’s why:

• ✨ Create it once and sell it for years: You write it once, and it can keep making you money for years. It's a little upfront effort for a long term reward!

• 💻 Low Cost, Low Risk: You don’t need a fancy website or expensive software. You can literally write and sell an ebook for free if you want to.

• 📝 Simple to Create: You don't have to learn anything new. You just need to take some of the knowledge that is already in your brain and share it in an easy to digest way.

📣 What You Actually Need to Start Making Money from Ebooks 📣

Most people overcomplicate this. You do not need a big email list, a degree in writing, or a graphic design background. Here’s what you do need:

• 🧠 A clear idea that helps or inspires someone. Think: solving a problem, simplifying a process, teaching a skill, or giving someone hope.

• 📄 Google Docs or similar. Write your content in Drive and save it as a PDF. That’s it!

• A way to get it in front of people. This could be your Instagram, your email list, your podcast, or even $5/day in ads. There are so many ways to promote without burning out.

💵 How Much Should You Charge? Here’s What It Takes to Make $500/Month 💵

• Sell 50 copies at $10

• Sell 19 copies at $27

• Sell 11 copies at $47

• Sell 6 copies at $97

That’s not wild growth. That’s very doable — even with a tiny audience. 👏

Ebooks don’t just bring in income… they also build trust with your audience, position you as an expert, and open the door to future sales (like higher-ticket offers or coaching). 🚪
