Now that the world is endowed with internet and most of human activities now depend on the internet, there are some businesses that have become extincted or outdated because they are affected by internet. One of the businesses is textbook selling.
In the olden days, this selling of textbooks was so lucrative that it can be found almost everywhere. Due to proliferation of schools, many people were engaging in the business.
But now, most schools don't depend on textbooks any more. Students depend on internet to make research. Lecturers do give lectures online and distribute ebooks for their students.

I think it is possible. I heard that Study Pool will help us sell textbooks in the form of PDF, Microsoft Word, etc. You can try it and explore the site.

Students still use textbooks in my location. It is a profitable business here since students need to buy textbooks for their studies every year, although they search for information on the net quite often.

Yea, sure, one can make money selling text books, this is because some people prefer their books in hard cover or hard copies while some want it in softcopies.so it just depends on people's preferences, so in any way you can always sell textbooks profitably.

All you need to do is to make your textbooks in pdf format and put them on book platforms for sale. I bought Blanchard in my university days as pdf and all my mates also bought because the book was encrypted to work on only one device per copy.

In my country the selling of the hard copies text books for the school work is still very profitable. In fact every student is expected to have their own copies for the text books being used by the syllabus.

The key to success in this business is that you network and have connections to be supplying to schools. It sells like water if you can strike a good deal with the schools.

No matter how lucrative the business is it is seasonal in nature. This is a business whose demands only increases during school sessions. Immediately schools go on vacation, its demand drops.
Similarly, internet has adversely affect the market of the hard copied textbooks. Students are now resorting online as their basis for resources research.

I still feel that selling textbooks would still work as I believe there will still be students or even parents looking for text books for their kids when it comes to learning. Some schools even still use textbooks when they teach as well.

It is true that the internet really is the more popular source of learning but you will always get people who will prefer textbooks to online.

Every business has its Market and target audience. Textbooks are used in schools, so selling them would definitely be lucrative. The most important thing is knowing your target audience and look for a way to attract them.

For me I think the business is so lucrative when located in the right location. For instance places near the learning institutions like schools, town centres and densely populated areas.
