How to Make $100 a Day Selling eBooks Online
Becoming a paid writer is one of the most rewarding career choices out there. If you’re anything like me—someone who loves freedom, thrives on managing their own time, and gets chills at the thought of committing to the 9-to-5 cubicle life—then writing could be the perfect fit for you.
Writing comes with countless benefits, but today, I want to focus on one in particular: the ability to earn a great living by doing what you love. Specifically, I’ll share how selling ebooks online has enabled me to consistently make $100 a day—and how you can do it too.
The advance of technology is based on making it fit in so that you don't really even notice it, so it's part of everyday life.
My Journey to Becoming a Writer
Before I, Jitendra Kumar Sahu, became a blogger and writer, I worked as a software developer in an MNC company. Over time, I explored various creative avenues, including being a nurse, a wedding cake maker, a graphic designer, a web developer (yawn), and even an aromatherapy candle maker. It took me what felt like an eternity to finally gather the courage to open up my Notes app and start typing.
The hardest part? Swallowing my pride.
Questions haunted me: What if I fail? What if someone I know finds my writing online? What if people criticize me? But I pushed through those doubts, and I’m so glad I did. Writing turned out to be not just my creative outlet but also a reliable source of income.
Why Ebooks?
Ebooks are a fantastic way to share your knowledge and creativity with the world while building passive income. I chose this path because it has a low barrier to entry—all you really need is a good idea, a computer, and determination. Once published, an ebook can continue generating income with minimal effort, making it a reliable source of passive revenue. Plus, it’s highly scalable: you can write more ebooks, bundle them together, or sell them across multiple platforms to steadily grow your earnings.
Here’s the process I followed to build a steady income stream:
The first step in selling ebooks successfully is to identify a niche—choose topics you’re passionate about or have expertise in. For me, the sweet spot was sharing practical tips for aspiring writers and entrepreneurs. From there, the focus should always be on creating value by offering ebooks that are actionable, engaging, and genuinely helpful, whether in the form of guides, self-help books, or how-to manuals. Once your content is ready, publish it on platforms like Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP), Gumroad, or even your own website to reach a wide audience. To maximize sales, market your ebooks effectively using social media, email newsletters, and content marketing to build a loyal community of readers who trust your expertise. Finally, leverage reader feedback to improve your work and uncover opportunities for future projects.
