Review of Celtnet eBooks Store Product and Site

The eBook marketing arena is a very crowded one and there are so many ‘me to’ sites out there that it’s difficuly (if not nearly impossible) to distinguish between the various products out there. The truth is that most offerings are just copies of other products offering the same content and the same services.

Why, then is the Celtnet eBooks site any different? In many ways it’s very similar to the other sites, offering a selection of eBooks, software and information products with resell rights. What makes this site stand out is that it also offern new eBooks (proper publishing-quality eBooks) on a range of topics. It also offers eBook advertising to eBook authors and publishers (on the Celtnet eBooks Publishing Page) where you can upload the information about an eBook and provide a link back to the sales page of your eBook. Basically you’re offered free advertising from this site, and all for the pirce of a link back to “http://www.celtnet.org.uk/ebooks/”.

Although it seems to be a fledgeling service at the moment, the site also offers the ability for you to sell your product there either for a flat annual fee or for a 60:40 profit-share on the sales of your product (where the 60% share goes to you, the author).

But what really makes this eBook site stand out is the site itself. The code has been re-written from the ground-up so that installation on any UNIX host is a breeze. Change six constants in one file and upload the the database from an automated script and you’re away. Moreover the entire codebase is available at a ridiculously low price (see the Get your own eBooks Store page). If you want a fully-fledged site up and running there are packages containing 25, 75 and 150 products ready for you to hit the ground running.

Unlike most other eBook stores the first 25 products are pre-loaded into the system and you get image files with every product. This means that you can hit the ground running and within 10 minutes of downloading the package it can be on the web and ready to run.

The site also comes with Google AdSense advertisements built-in. Just supply your AdSense publisher ID in the configuration script and you can be up and running earning additional income from your site.

This site also has four ‘featured products’ on each page. These are automatically and randomly selected from the database. This means that your users always have something new and interesting to look at and that text is kept fresh (as long as you continue to add products) which keeps bringing the indexing engines back to your pages.

There’s also a built-in mailer so you can wirte a sales letter about a new product you’ve added and send this to your existing customers and anyone who’se registered on your site.

Also, sales are handled automatically through PayPal and a download link is sent automatically to a purchaser. This link is encrypted and automatically generated and is set to expire after a time set by you (typically 14 days).

Basically you get a fully-featured sales site which you can customize to your own use and sell for a profit at your own site.

Whatever your eBook advertising and publishing needs then I urge you to visit Celtnet eBooks. It will definitely be worth your while.

If you are looking for sources of products for your eBook or information site then eBay is an excellent place to look. You can use the link below to find Private Label Rights Products on eBay. These PLR products usually allow you to both re-brand and re-sell the products in your own store.
