How do I market a Free eBook?

    I've just written my first eBook that I need to somehow publish on the internet. I'm trying to push it out through P2P networks, but that hasn't worked yet.

    Any other suggestions?

    you should use a landing page , so you can collect email address of everyone who downloads it.

    Lists = free money

    WunschShrek has a good idea there. Use the free e-book to collect information about those who download it and then you can add those people to your mailing list and market your paid products to them as well.

    You can also add an "e-mail to friend" button on your pages so that people who know someone who would be interested in the e-book can click that button and send them a message with the download link. This will really give you a viral effect for your e-book.

    You can write and submit articles to free directories that have links to your e-book in the author's resource box section of the article. I use articles specifically to direct people to my newsletter subscription page.

    I have found one place where I can market my eBook - FreeIQ.

    FreeIQ accepts Audio, Video, Downloadable PDF, and a variety of other products. You can publish the content for free for any one to read, or you can publish paid for content and earn money. Here's mine: How to make money while you're online.

    Thanks to everyone for their suggestions.
