Using Free Marketing To Promote Your Ebook

There are many ways to profit with ebooks. I personally love ebooks because of the incredible lifestyle that it gives me. You can wake up with money in your inbox on autopilot. You can come and go as you please. You can maintain your customer service efforts via phone. And there's no boss over you telling you what to do. With all that said, I think now is a great time to start selling your own eBook right away.

Now with that being said, there are a lot of people who are struggling to get a lot of sales with their ebook. In fact, almost none of these people make money with their ebook. For whole entire year, they will have only made around $100 total from their eBook marketing efforts.

Now there are a ton of reasons why this can happen. Sometimes the person doesn't give their eBook business 110%. Most don't believe that free marketing works, and are convinced on the idea that paid marketing is the way to go. And some just simply put in no effort in learning about internet marketing and promoting their book online.

Quite simply, you can't make money this way. If you want to make money with your ebook, you need a supreme marketing strategy that is unrivaled with anyone else. Marketing plays a very important role when it comes to selling your ebook, and if you don't know how to sell and promote your eBook successfully, then this is a problem.

You should first start off researching and learning about the best free traffic strategies out there so that you can tap into these lucrative strategies that will bring your eBook the sales and profits that you have been looking forward to. There are a lot of free traffic methods out there, and sometimes... these free traffic methods can get you more traffic than from the paid advertising sources.

Some of the best strategies out there are article marketing, forum marketing, video marketing, blog marketing, and search engine marketing. All of these traffic strategies can yield you a ton of traffic - but only if you're willing to put the work in to make your eBook business a success.

One thing that you can't afford to do is to make excuses. You have to be responsible for your own efforts and not blame the traffic techniques for not working. If you think that paid advertising is the way to go, then you should try it. But don't be surprised if you end up spending a lot of money on a traffic source that may or may-not be profitable for you.

I've been marketing my website for a short period of time now, and I can truly say that free marketing works. In fact, 98% of my traffic comes from free traffic methods. So that says something in and of itself. Don't get down on yourself if you've played the "pay per click" game and have come back unprofitable. Pick yourself up, and focus only on free strategies that can earn you the most traffic and money.

Take these tips and use them to propel your online business today.

Good luck at using these tips to make more money in your business simply and easily.

Whether you intend to use your eBook to showcase your literary targets or use it as a marketing tool, you should know how to promote your eBook and make sure it reaches it gets downloaded by your target market. There are those who can easily create ebooks but not all of them know how to market them properly. Do not let your hard work go to waste and start marketing your eBook the right way.

Tease your audience

Treat your eBook just like a new product or service that you have to promote. Products and services are given hype through advertisements to entice the audience. Musicians release teasers for their music videos, and the same goes for movies. Apply this type of treatment to your eBook to be able to build anticipation among your audience. The easiest way to do this is to make a blog post regarding your upcoming ebook. Build rapport with the readers by letting them become part of your project. You can ask for suggestions and feedback while you are at it. During the writing process, you can give them brief updates about your progress. It's all about whetting their appetites.

Ask your friends to help you out

What are Facebook friends and Twitter followers are for, right? Use your connections to help spread the word about your project. Your friends can use their statuses to inform their friends about your work. Of course, make sure that these friends will buy your book as well. Word of mouth through social media is a very effective way to promote your project.

Provide previews

As part of your "tease the audience" move, you should provide a chapter or two as previews of your ebook. You can post them on your website or offer it for download. This will give your readers a taste of what to expect from your ebook. Never underestimate the charm of free material. If they like what they will read, they will be determined to buy the finished product.

Get recommendations from other bloggers

Your fellow bloggers can help you out by giving reviews and recommendations about your ebook. Once you have finished the book, you can send free copies to select bloggers and ask them to publish a review on their websites, which you can link to your own. Recommendations from famous bloggers will increase the interest in your work and raises its credibility too.

Keep the price down

A minimal price tag never fails to attract the attention of the audience. People tend to buy stuff even if they are not fully acquainted with it if it comes cheap. Unless you are already an established author or blogger, stick to a lower price bracket to attract readers.

Marketing your eBook should go side by side with the writing process. By doing this, you're making sure that there are people who will be waiting for you to finish your eBook so they can buy it.

EBook Marketing - Another Underestimated Traffic Source

Let me share with you today a fantastic traffic source that is being VERY much underrated...

Are you creating quality articles for your business providing value to the community? Are you submitting these articles to Article Directories? Are you sharing these articles within your personal Blog?

What if I tell you that you can submit your article in a complete different way, adding this new method to your Traffic Sources arsenal?

Have you heard before about eBook Marketing?

If not, I will enlighten you right away...

What if you grab one of your articles, and create an eBook from it? Are you getting the idea?

You can add a nice title, a table of contents... you can add some pictures (public domain or self-made) and Congratulations! You have just made an eBook from your article.

Of course you should make an eBook from an article that has 1000 words or more, because it has no sense to create a 3 paged eBook... Ok, you can do it, but personally if I am a visitor and I see an eBook with 3 pages, I will keep reading something else because it does not call my attention at all...

But If I see an eBook with a nice and catchy title, a table of contents, more than 15 pages, it will definitely call my attention, and so it will for your prospects!

So... what do you think about this? With a single article you have the opportunity to share it in another traffic source, to maximize your visibility chances even more...

You can add some affiliate link within the content, and also you can create a footer section with the URL of your blog, or your squeeze page. Use your imagination and you can do tons of things within the content of your eBook!

Ok... I've just created the eBook... so where can I upload it?

You can upload it into eBook Directories (search for "eBook Directories" in Google), just like Article Directories but for eBooks... more free targeted visitors for your business and even more exposure and back-links for your website!

There are many sites and this could be time-consuming, but it is really worth it, and many of them will make your eBook rank high in Google searches.

So... let's go back to the main topic, if you didn't know before about this traffic source, it's time to invest some time and create eBooks from your best articles don't you think?

I will give you one last TIP before I finish with this post today...

When you upload an eBook to an eBook Directory, you have to place a nice and catchy title to attract people's attention... but that's not all, some sites like Scribd will use this title to show the name of the eBook as a title in SERPS. So a bit of Keyword research won't be harmful...

Web Marketing Strategies: Why You Should Publish on Kindle

More and more people are publishing their eBooks on Kindle. Should you publish on Kindle? Yes, and here's why.

What is the Kindle?

The Kindle is an electronic device made by Amazon.com that is about the size of a large paperback book. On this device, people read electronic versions of books. Because of this, they don't have a traditional computer-type screen. Rather, they have a screen designed to mimic what a printed book looks like. With the Kindle, though, you can change the size of the type, zoom in on a page, search for specific words and jump to a chapter without all that inconvenient fumbling around with pages.

There are also apps that let people read Kindle books on their computer, their phones and their tablet devices such as the iPad.

If you are marketing on the web, you should always be looking for ways to get your ideas and your name in front of more and more people. Sales of Kindle books have boomed in the last year or so. If you already have any free reports, any eBooks that you've created to either give away or sell, any series of blog posts that you could put together into a book, you can put them on Kindle and sell them to one of the largest markets on the planet: Amazon.com.

Is it Hard?

Getting a book ready for Kindle is fairly straight forward. For a simple report or eBook, simpler is better. There are lots of instructional videos and forums on the Internet that can help you get everything in order and uploaded.

Sing up for a free account at Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) to get started. You set your own prices for your eBooks and Amazon only takes a small percentage. You get the rest. You also get your name in front of more people, and you can include live links back to your site or sites within the book itself.

Be sure to use key words in your book title and the book description. Also, do an Amazon search for other books on your topic to see what they have used. Check Google Keyword Tools to see what people are generally searching for. When you use this information, it will make it much easier for people to find your eBook.

Getting your eBook on Kindle is a great way to get people to know about you, get people to your web pages AND make a buck or two.
