    Hi all,

    I have recently published the eBook, The Essential Guide For Forum Entrepreneurs to illustrate how I managed to generate income by posting in forums and is wondering how did you actually promote your eBook to achieve better results?

    I have done the following so far:

    1. Invite senior forum members to review my eBook.
    2. Ask for reviews for my eBook from my peer bloggers.
    3. Email Marketing.

    Any ideas / suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    You can use Signature marketing in huge traffic forums.
    Social Bookmarking and demo ebook distribution can also help !

    First thing I notice is that you are not collecting emails to build your list. Second thing I noticed is that you do not have it set up with any kind of affiliate program.

    From experience you will not sell many and you will spend a lot of time and money to get it out there.

    Best thing to do is invest in a membership script that can help you run and manage the selling of your product and affiliates.

    www.launchFormulamarketing.com

    This is the script I currently use for my upcoming product launch and I can't say enough to do it justice. It simply is exactly what any person who wants his products to sell should use.

    Thanks for the advice, I will check them out.

    I did have my list set up for every purchase of this eBook :) I save them into my own database after every successful transaction from PayPal.

    I am still looking for a good affiliate system to use for my eBook thou..

    Post in forums asking for help in Marketing your ebook. ;)

    Like others have said, I would get a good affiliate program going... clickbank?

    How about ebay? A simple eyecatching headline "Ebook - make money online with forum posts" - catch the make money online searchers

    I'd also improve your sales page, make it a little bit longer and lighter (there is a lot of text compressed into a little space). Like others have said, you should be building an email list of the people that come by your site - offer some free content that people will sign up for (like a couple chapters out of your book, or a mini course) They give you their email and you send them the free chapters or mini-course on making money by forum posting. They get good content and you get a way to sell them repeatedly on your product. You could set all this up to be done automatically with AWeber or another autoresponder.
