My website (see signature) is all about Mount Everest. I want to build up my mailing list and thought about giving away a free ebook to do with Mount Everest to get more people to sign up. The thing is, I dont know what to put in the ebook! Anyone with any suggestions please?
If your website is ALL about Everest, then take out some content from the blog and put it only in the ebook.
Or you could do e-books about winter camping, survival camping, survival gear, winter tents, the list is endless really. You could give away a 5 part series or a 10 part series or a newsletter with Mt. E's news and such. Get creative and make it fun for yourself. Good luck.
If you know of some interesting mount everest videos on youtube, then create a sidebar youtube widget which displays your favourite everest videos for free. You can then talk briefly about the videos in your ebook and get the visitors to go to your blog to view them. To see the type of effect I'm talking about see here: http://authorityaffiliatemarketing.com (the videos are on the bottom right and are randomly displayed - the widget is free).
You can use yahoo answers to find the top 5 common questions about Mount Everest. Then take those questions and make them chapters in your ebook. With the answers to those questions being the content. Make sure to include a link at the bottom of your ebook and let them know they can share the ebook with others so you can get residual traffic from that.
You should check out the 'List Building 101' ebook at: iccmsite.com ......I learned from it back in 2007 and have been making a consistent $3,000+ monthly. I love how simple you can make money via email marketing combined with CPA offers.
