In fact, you have to have the trust of your prospects far in advance of your product going on sale. Some of the best ways to do this is to use Twitter and other social media.

4. Write your Ebook
The secret to writing a successful ebook is to have a focus and a plan. Create an outline, develop a work schedule that you can stick to and get others to help you with the editing.
A clever way of utilizing your existing content on your site, is to pull the best pages on a topic together in an ebook and just writing a bonus section, which is not available on your site. You will probably need to do some heavy editing, but you could hire someone to do that for you if you're strapped for time.
You can also consider adding interviews with knowledgeable people in your niche in your bonus section. There are a couple of benefits to this: Firstly it improves your ebook and adds a new dimension. Secondly, interviews bring in other voices and also practical examples that may supplement the theory you've been writing about. A third benefit is that the association adds some credibility to your ebook.
If you have time constraints, think about hiring a ghost writer. Just remember, it's important to develop your own style that your readers will recognise and love.
5. Design your Ebook
Don't make the mistake of skimping on the design of your ebook. Pull the content and images together and get someone to proofread the final product. It's important to put out a professional looking product.
