Default My free ebook - what should I do with it?

Hi guys,

I have had a mini ebook written for me so I can offer a freebie when visitors subscribe to my mailing list. ( I have my own product).

What else can I do with the free ebook to help try and promote my product?

1. Is it a good idea to give it to my affiliates so they can build a list themselves, obviously they will be able to change the links within the guide with their codes.

2. Would you offer the guide to webmasters so they could give as a free bonus with their products?

Just any ideas would be great, I spent some money to have it written and properly put together so I would just like to make use of it the best way possible.
Appreciate any help or ideas.
Cheers

Just one idea off the top of my head...

You could compose an article or articles using carefully selected content from the free ebook, publish it on the main article directories like for example Ezine Articles (NOTE: If you do choose Ezine Articles make sure the quality is top notch as they've 'upped the ante' on quality) and in your call to action at the bottom (the footer) of your article have a link to your main paid ebook.

Make sure your main keyword is in the article title, first sentence, and roughly every 100-150 words thereafter - works for me! Get a backlinking campaign going on the main keyword... Hey Presto! Free Targeted Traffic!

or / and ...

As you suggest give away a rebrandable copy of the free ebook for your affiliates to give away to their lists etc.

Hope this helps you and a few others

Make the ebook go "viral" Put your affiliate links in the ebook
and just give it for free.

Do some youtube videos, write articles etc... make sure you give good content.
as long as you give good content you should be fine.

TIP: Try to give your ebook away to ebook publishers and ezine publishers to give to their subscribers. Tell them that they can offer their subscriber list Valuable content at no extra cost to them.

I agree, as an affiliate, I love brandable free reports or teasers...
Almost anything that makes it a little easier for you affiliates, is a good idea.. I think...

Good luck,

Good luck,
I only see a few publishers on Clickbank that are actually doing this.
there is a script out there that you can use to make your pdf brandable
though I dont know what the software is called.

If I find it I will post up here.

Ok great, I have now established that offering to affiliates maybe a good idea - what should I then do to my ebook so affiliates can change the links within the ebook?? I guess this is what you mean as making your pdf book brandable??

Any advice would be great, I have the ebook but need to be clear on the best way to offer it.

Many Thanks.

just saw another thread similar to this one... add your links, make sure you have a link to your site where they can opt-in for either additional information or a re-brandable copy...

post it on...

usenet
torrent
edocr.com
docstoc.com
scribd.com

What I'd do?

1. Create a hub page/squidoo lens and start giving it away.

2. Make it brandable to my affiliates.

3. Offer from my site to my subscribers.

4. Add it to my signature in the forums.

You could whack it on Scribd and similar online pdf resources. People will find it.
