I have written an ebook and want to sell it online. How do I go about getting a merchant account?

Sell it on you will have to give some of the profit to the affiliates promoting your site, but the good thing is you wont have to do any advertising for it because all the affiliates will be doing that for you, which will save you money in the end.

Your first focus should be on positioning your e-book in front of those seeking what you have to offer. I would suggest that you build a website to target your audience. There are a few great web hosts that can assist in this task. I would suggest that you take a look at several options to get the best match. You can see a great example for your comparison through the host that I use at
As far as the bank account goes… You will know when to open the account as your business grows. I would suggest not bothering until you have a significant steady stream.

BEST WISHES!
