I am writing an e-book about Internet marketing, and I am going to give it away for free. The e-book will not contain any affiliate links (at least that's what I am thinking right now). Do you have any ideas about how I can turn readers into buyers? Should I use a "One Time Offer", or maybe include affiliate links or just links to my blog (where I have all sorts of affiliate links)? Thanks Jens
Well if you are giving away the eBook for free I suggest that you have a second product that you will upsell with the free give away..maybe a video version of the eBook for $10 or something, because most people are lazy and would rather watch a video than read an eBook What I'm doing is selling an eBook for $3 and when they buy it they get 1 month free in my membership site and each month after that if they want to stay they have the option to pay $97 a month. It's no guarantee i will get tonnes of sales but it's all about upselling. One Time Offers aren't very good so i don't suggest you do one of those.
well simple throw in a lot of links in d ebook of ur site... where u sell stuff or simply have ads.. make the links look innocent examples if d ebook is famous u hit jackpot... n upload ur book on uploadjockey.com they will pay u for the hits so loads of money($1 eCPM)... n tada... u have a tidy sum...
put in a couple of pages throughout the Ebook that is reserved for ads sell the ads for one time fee to other IM'ers put link to your site and other offers in the Ebook Put a link at the front and back stating that they can buy plr-rights to the Ebook upload the ebook to sites that pay you for every download, like you upload the file, and whenever someone downloads the file through your link you get paid. It's not much but it's something. This will only work as long as people download through your link, when it's viral they probably won't be downloading through your link anymore. maybe you could write some more (like 10) short reports on the subject and tell them in the free ebook you've got those available for free as well. You'd just insert your download link from the site above and you'd earn a little something like that as well. Especially when it goes viral greetz, jobic
