For everyone interested in my latest money making venture you will be proud to know that I have sold the master rights of my eBook for $1,001. It was a interesting offer and I took it. I was offered $1,500 but the buyer never came through. I could have taken the easy route and listed it on sitepoint. But the thing I have learnt about sitepoint is that NO ONE PAYS!
Funny thing was that once I was paid I was told by my hosting provider that I could not transfer the domain until 60 days had passed. Obviously this made me feel like a dick because I had just taken a payment of $1001, and if I told the buyer that he could not have the domain he would have been pissed off, and rightfully so.
In the end it all worked out though, and I made the sale and am quite happy with it.
At least with digitalpoint you know most of the time who you are dealing with, and whether they are trustworthy or not.
The eBook was a great traffic source for me though, and it brought in a influx of over 1,000 readers to this blog. But it was very time consuming as well.
Before anyone starts accusing me of photoshopping I did edit the damn screenshot in paint so that it could fit the screen better, I swear to GOD I have to learn how to add/resize images properly in wordpress.
As you can see the sales of the eBook did pick up to the point where I was making about $200 a day just from selling the eBook.
With that goes another one of my nice web assets, I am not sure what to do now!!
I have asked the uberaffiliate known as Sup3rnova for some advice, lets see if he responds. 
Whaddya all think I should do?

Just put in a more little effort in the presentation, you would have seen a big increase in sales.November 23rd, 2007 at 6:51 pm -

I love the blog Mubin, but I must say, something that earns even $50 per day (let alone $200) is worth WAY more than $1k. That is, unless you left something out of the story

What you should have done… was putting the eBook on Lulu.com… People would have downloaded your eBook or buy a hard copy of it…
I personally copied all of Chuck Norris quotes… made a Word document… uploaded on Lulu.com just to test the service and already made over 50 dollars (and counting) for 1 hour of work… (without picturing how to maximize my profits)…
Maybe next time
