How You Can Value Your Digital Book For Utmost Gain

By Julie Weaver


You have written your ebook, so then you need to figure out how much you will charge people to buy it. Finding the right price is essential to the success of your product. If you charge too little, people will think it's of little value, and they won't purchase it, or even it they do buy your book, you will have to sell thousands of copies to get to the point where you can begin to see a profit.

The price might be too high in relation to competition, you may have to lower the price, which may cause a raft of issues in the future. For example, if you sell your ebook at first for $39, and later reduce it to $24, don't you think the people who bought it for $39 are going to be angry?

The marketing process has many critical aspects, one of which is choosing the ideal price for your ebook. When setting a price for eBooks, you cannot underprice them. Price your book at the highest that your target market can afford to pay, and if your sales are slow, lower your price. Before you take that step, make sure you are promoting your book like crazy on the Internet and on websites. Ideally the price should be able to generate large profits, however you should not neglect the fact that price is one of the major elements that people value an ebook prior to the purchase. This is why you want to go straight into your marketing efforts by charging the highest price you are willing to charge.

It's even harder to price an ebook since it is a relatively new commodity on the market. Because an eBook is a digital product, its worth can be misunderstood by the average person. This ultimately means we need to approach ebooks in a different light to help us establish their actual true worth in this competitive cyber landscape.

We can take a look at what differentiates a book that's printed from an ebook. A printed book is an object you can hold in your hand, store on your bookshelf, even hand down to the next generation. Pricing often reflects elements such as stock, design, paper, promotion and production costs.

However, the fact that they are a way of conveying ideas is the factor that binds hard copy books and ebooks together. It is the ideas in these books that have the ability to change, or possibly transform, people's lives. What is the idea worth when compared with the cost of pen and paper?

You determine how to price your ebook based on the value of the ideas contained within it.

Figure out if what you want is to gain maximum exposure for your book and sell it to a lot of people. This goal is aimed at drawing customers to your business or service, or to establishing the credibility of your reputation. If this is your main goal, you should aim to keep your price on the low side. Some authors have even priced their ebooks at a profit loss to draw a high number of new customers. The key is to find a price that maximizes your profits and the number of books you sell.
