1. Bought ebooks from eBay
2. Bought PLR articles (public label rights) from eBay
3. Combined a PLR article and an ebook and added further
information from online sources to create my own unique ebook
4. Created a cover for the ebook
5. Written the sales literature
Once I've written the sales literature I need to transfer this to a simple 1 page webpage and then add the payment system.
Now to create all my web pages/sites I use a superb piece of software called XSite Pro.
I fully recommend this software as it's one of, if not the easiest way in which to create websites or web pages.
You can get this software here:

Once you've created your sales webpage you need to add the payment system.
The easiest one I always use is Paypal:
Simply sign up and you'll be able to accept paypal payments, credit/debit cards and e-cheques on your web page.
Once you've set up a paypal account you need to decide whether your ebook will be just an ebook - a product the customer can download, or whether you'll also provide a hard copy of the book.
I offer a mixture, some of my products are download products, others are printed and bound products ... the decision is yours ... BUT make it clear on your web page which option you've decided so as not to confuse your customer.
Now, let's concentrate on downloadable ebooks - products that the customer downloads as soon as they have made a payment.
What you need to do is convert your ebook into a pdf format. This enables you to store the book on your web page for the customer to download.
I use Acrobat Pro to convert all my ebooks into pdf format. You can buy it direct from Acrobat ... however I picked my copy up from eBay for about £8.00 - just search for: "acrobat pro".
Next you need to get your webpage online and for this you need to buy web space and a domain.
Now there are thousands of places to get web space and domains, I use www.godaddy.com and have had no problems with them ... plus they are cheap.
Decide on an appropriate domain name, register it and buy webspace and you are ready to upload your webpage.
If you use Xsite Pro, then they have a built in FTP - this is what is required to upload your website/page online.
I also use Cute FTP version 8, it's available here

Once you've got your website online you need to upload the ebook to a separate file on your webspace.
So you'll have: www.yoursite.com and the ebook will be stored at www.yoursite.com/ebook
You need to name the file that holds the ebook in such a way so that people don't just guess where you are storing it. There are pieces of software that do this for ... I use the above method as I find it easier.
You need to go back to Paypal and insert the link for the ebook once people have paid for it ... this is explained clearly at paypal.
