Because since an eBook should be earning you on average $10.00 a day… combine the earnings of each of the 10 eBooks and you'll get $100 a day.

If you're not earning close to that, try adding different affiliate links in your eBooks. Take time to test your affiliate links until you are happy with the income you are making.

Your income will grow even more when you add more eBooks.

You don't have to use this technique for earning affiliate commission only. This technique can also be applied to generate traffic to your website that you have inserted Google Adsense ads on.

Instead of placing your affiliate links within the content of the eBooks, place your website that you have Google Adsense ads on.

If you don't have a website, you can use this free blog starter guide and you can get a website up in 10 minutes.

With some time and hard effort, you could possibly be earning $100 a day with this eBook marketing technique. If you can put more effort in, you will reap even more rewards from your eBook marketing business.
