Earned $380 Within 2 Days of Launching - My original hosting eBook with 38 sales in 2 days! - Big potential - Just 2 days old

www.HostingEarner.com made 38 sales or $380 within 48 hrs or 2 days of launching - it was registered on May 11, 2008

Description:

38 sales or $380 earned within 48 hours or 2 days of launching!

I registered www.HostingEarner.com on May 11, 2008 to sell a unique e-Book about earning $600+ / mo by getting into the hosting business which I have written myself, and I have already made 38 sales within 48 hours / 2 days already at the time of writing this.

I have advertised this book in the following ways:

1. SitePoint Marketplace with ad in the 'Advertise your Services' section. See the ad here

2. I advertised this on a popular web-master forum called Digital Point. See the sales thread along with extremely positive reviews here

3. I advertised this on another webmaster forum called Webmaster Talk. See the ad here

That's the only advertising I have done so far, which resulted in 38 sales so far making me $380 in sales. The book is priced at $10 per copy.

The new owner can make even more sales by advertising on other webmaster forums or by doing some common advertising like AdWords etc.

The new owner will get the following:-
1. Full rights to the eBook.
2. The domain name www.HostingEarner.com is registered at GoDaddy and will be pushed to his account free of charge. I can also host the site for the owner for free for as long as he desires.
3. The entire website with the sales page, images etc - as it is right now.
4. I can also agree to sign a contract stating that I shall never sell the e-Book again after the new owner has secured it's rights.

The eBook is priced at $10 USD and the sales process is completely automated, the buyer gets the book automatically after paying with PayPal. I use a $5 / month service for this automation, which I will let the new owner know. I will also offer any help required with making changes to the sales page or anything else related to the website or e-Book.

Please see the attachments for proof of all the 38 sales in my PayPal account.

I'm selling this because I'm a web-developer and I want to get funds for a new project which I have in my mind.

    Are you willing to offer a sample ebook? I'm interested in placing a bid but I can't unless I see the book.
