Default My Traffic Experiment

I recently did an interesting traffic experiment that I
thought I would share with my fellow Warriors.

This simple strategy has generated over 700 visitors and
added an extra 100 subscribers to my list.

And best of all, I was able to use existing content that
I had already created. So there was very little additional
work involved. You simply use your existing content and then
leverage it for additional traffic and exposure.

Here's what you do...

First, you take one of your articles, or a collection of
related articles and you turn it into a PDF. You can do
this for free at http://www.youconvertit.com or
http://www.pdfonline.com/convert-pdf/

You then submit your newly created ebook to
http://www.free-ebooks.net/ and http://www.getfreeebooks.com


Important Note: You MUST make sure that you have a promo
at the end of your report that sends people to your squeeze
page. That's the key to building a list with the PDF report.

If you go to http://www.getfreeebooks.com/?cat=34
you can see my own ebook listed (in the Internet Marketing category).

That's all there is to it!

Simply turn your articles into a PDF report and then submit
your PDF to http://www.free-ebooks.net/ and http://www.getfreeebooks.com

I've tried other ebook directories but I've found that those
2 send 99.9% of the traffic.

Here are the traffic stats from the past 3 months from just
this one report. I really should do more

Default How to earn money online

I have been trying to earn some money online by joining many kinds of sites (freelance, PTC) and I have been fairly successful until now. I have made about 600$ and I am still trying to find more effective ways. I just started a blog some weeks ago where I can share my own experiences. I invite you all to share your own good and bad experiences with me so that other users can avoid common scams while striving to find a way to make their income online.

You can find my blog here :

You can send me some of your own experiences at :

And I will publish them after I investigate their validity.

Great tip Kim, and many thanks! This is something I would have never known about otherwise.

Without checking, I would assume those two sites must rank well for terms such as 'free ebook' guaranteeing more traffic.

Only thing I can see is that one of those sites charges $20 for adding your ebook, but other than that there must be a ton of free ebook sites that will take them for free I would think. Anyone got a list!

Yes, I just noticed that free ebooks.net has a $20 charge for submitting your free ebook. They also upsell you on all sorts of things on the way out. I went ahead and submitted a free report anyway, hope it gets approved.

Kim,

I just tried to follow your advice and discovered two things you didn't mention:

1)There is a fee of $19.95 for submitting an ebook to Free-ebooks.net | Download free Fiction, Health, Romance and many more ebooks.

2)For Free-ebooks.net | Download free Fiction, Health, Romance and many more ebooks, the ebook must be longer than 20 pages.

I just wasted several hours creating a really nice ebook of 13 pages.

Thanks anyway for the inspiration. I'm sure I'll figure out something else to do with it.

Thanks for this excellent tip. I would like to know if this strategy of ebook submission will work in any kind of niche?

Did you try it on non-IM niches and got as much traffic and subscribers? I would love to know the results you got in non-IM niches.

Your site ranking can go from 100+ to Page 1 in one month. Don't try my service or you will be hooked!

Wow! I found this post after you posted the list of places that accept free ebooks. This is tremendous information!

I've been experimenting with ebooks and reports to attract attention to my (print) books and websites. This info opens an entirely new avenue for PR.
