Now that we have established that the process of building and configure an eBook store can be quite simple, here's a blueprint of how I would go about automating the process of selling an eBook or Digital Product.

Click Bank: There are a few ways you can go about this concept, for someone seeking a fast start I would say Click Bank is the way to go. As an affiliate you will have access to loads of digital content ranging from ebooks to software. Click Bank is basically a commission based affiliate network that caters to digital publishers.

Joint Ventures: A joint venture in Internet marketing is defined as, “A mutually beneficial cooperation between web site owners” according to the Internet Marketing Dictionary. Many times joint ventures in Internet marketing are entered into between a person has developed a new and innovative product or service but has no Internet marketing history and no list to market his product or service to and an established Internet Marketer who has spent years developing his list and his reputation. This is the kind agreement that can be described as a win-win situation.

The joint venture gives the developer of the new product or service access to potential customers that he would otherwise have access to and the experienced Internet Marketer gains access to product or service that the members of his list can benefit from. Both the product developer and the established Internet Marketer make a profit that neither of them has made without the other... and that is the very essence of the joint venture.

By joining forces and pooling resources and talents, a joint venture allows all parties accomplish more than any one of them could have accomplished alone. The fact is that the joint venture is one of the better kept secrets of successful Internet Marketers. You can have been trying to break into the Internet marketing game for very long time before you have ever heard the term. Joint ventures are certainly not new concept, however. They have been around since Internet marketing began.

Affiliate Marketers: Affiliate Marketing is an Internet-based marketing practice in which a business rewards one or more affiliates for each visitor or customer brought about by the affiliate's marketing efforts.

The Affiliate Marketing industry has four core players at its heart: the Merchant, the Network, the Publisher and the Consumer. The market has grown sufficiently in complexity to warrant a secondary tier of players, including Affiliate Management Agencies, Super-Affiliates and Specialized Third Parties vendors.

Affiliate marketing overlaps with other Internet marketing methods to some degree, because affiliates often use regular advertising methods. Those methods include organic search engine optimization, paid search engine marketing, e-mail marketing, and in some sense display advertising. On the other hand, affiliates sometimes use less orthodox techniques, such as publishing reviews of products or services offered by a partner.

Affiliate marketing—using one website to drive traffic to another—is a form of online marketing, which is frequently overlooked by advertisers. While search engines, e-mail, and website syndication capture much of the attention of online retailers, affiliate marketing carries a much lower profile. Still, affiliates continue to play a significant role in e-retailers' marketing strategies.

Opt-in List: Email is still the most popular and most used application on the Internet. It’s also an efficient means of distributing your message to large numbers of people who have requested that information. As a form of marketing, it generates high response rates—and gives you measurable results with instant feedback.

But because email marketing been so abused, it’s just not accepted any more to send emails to people who haven’t chosen to receive them. Bust that rule, and there’s a good chance you’ll be out of business. That gives you the problem of building up a list of willing subscribers. When you’re first starting out, there’s often a temptation to simply purchase an opt-in email list. Lots of people sell them and you can easily pick up a million or so addresses for just a few bucks. But while that may appear to be a fast, easy way to build up customers, the names on the list may not be up to date or even opt-in contacts at all. You could well find yourself inadvertently spamming.

Auto Responder: Automation of your Email marketing process is crucial for the success of your business. An automated system enables you to reply immediately solicited information, send follow ups to your prospects, and save lots of time. Automation can be achieved with tools known as Auto responders. The auto-responder is a program that automatically sends a reply with a pre-designed response to any email address that sends email to it. Auto-responders are great for confirmation messages as well.

The auto-responder allows you to capture the email addresses of your visitors, so you can build your own opt-in targeted mailing list. This is a great tool to use for an Email or Newsletter. You can offer via auto-responder a free article that pertains to the subject of the newsletter to all of your new subscribers. The auto-responder will automatically extract the prospects name and use this information in your follow-up messages. With this marketing tool you can send personalized follow-up messages. If you personalize an email message, your prospect is twice as likely to buy from you.

You can sell your products 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with the help of an auto-responder. Auto-responder is a handy tool that automatically follows-up with a series of email messages at preset time intervals and works for you 24 hours a day. You will be able to develop your follow up messages and set reliable time intervals.
