    Some general tips for any ebook you have

    Try selling it here. If your ebook is genuinely good, people will buy it. It needs to be well priced too. If you can put up a page on the net where you are selling it, that would be fine as well. Get some recommendations and reviews.

    Why not try a press release?

    Set it up with an affiliate/membership site script. Like this:

    If you have questions or need help, I personally use the script above with great success.

    What I would do is release a good excerpt from your ebook (a few pages.. not a paragraph) which will draw attention to your e-book *IF* it is good.

    I think you can use auto hits websites. At least they show to a wide variety of web users. One such website I use is http://www.urlpointing.com

    If you don't understand what I am saying visit it and you will know and it is free to use.

    Create a splash page for it, capture the viewer's email address and send them a link to the sales page. Even if they don't buy it you can then follow up later. Put the splash page on traffic exchanges, safelists, on a blog, forum, basically anywhere you can.

    Optimize the sales page for search engines and advertise it in classified ad sites, ezines that cover a related topic etc...

    Clickbank is one of the top places to promote your ebooks.

    Try to get a higher ranking in clickbank.

    Start selling in our Marketplace together with some free review copies :) I have gotten pretty good results from my latest eBook using this strategy :)

    My blogtalkradio show this evening is actually on that exact topic - writing and marketing e-books. :) I'll be chatting with a published author about marketing tactics for e-books, so be sure to listen and call in if you have specific questions, and we'll see what we can answer. :) It's at 6pm eastern tonight.
