How can I use an E-book as a means of creating a residual income?

With an ebook, once it has been written and converted to PDF format it can be downloaded and sold many thousands of times over. Its a marvellous way of selling information expecially for the little man who has little capital on starting his or her own publishing business.
To get a residual income with ebooks one needs to setup a sales system so that the whole system can be automated from the sales page to purchase to download for the customer. Once setup the ebook sales can continue 24/7 for years.
The beauty of this system that you can setup more ebook sales systems on autopilot which can bring in a huge residual income of several thousand dollars a month.
With ebooks there is little waiting time as the customer can be reading the book on his/her computer within minutes (instant gratification).
Even more residual income can be had by embedding your ebook with affiliate links of other products of interest to your customers. When the customer reads your ebook they can then purchase similar products from which you can earn commission - approximately 50% on some ebooks.
Residual Income Galore!
There are many more possibilities with ebooks e.g. creating a viral ebook is a whole new ball game, and once created can have others pass your ebook around the Internet creating more sales for you over time.
Lastly if you feel overwhelmed with the thought of writing your own ebook then you can simply hire a freelance writer on the Internet to write the ebook for you and hire someone else to market your ebook as well. The opportunities are endless!
