eBook Marketing... another Traffic Source, untapped?

6 replies
Hi guys!

How are you doing today? I hope you are doing fine.
Let me share with you today a fantastic traffic source that is being VERY much underrated...
Are you creating quality articles for your business providing value to the community? Are you submitting these articles to Article Directories? Are you sharing these articles within your personal Blog?

What if I tell you that you can submit your article in a complete different way, adding this new method to your Traffic Sources arsenal?

Have you heard before about eBook Marketing?
If not, I will enlighten you right away...
What if you grab one of your articles, and create an eBook from it? Are you getting the idea?

You can add a nice title, a table of contents... you can add some pictures (public domain or self made) and voila! You have just made an eBook from your article.

Of course you should make an eBook from an article that has 1000 words or more, because it has no sense to create a 3 paged eBook... Ok, you can do it, but personally if I am a visitor and I see an eBook with 3 pages, I will keep reading something else because it does not call my attention at all...
But If I see an eBook with a nice and catchy title, a table of contents, more than 15 pages, it will definitely call my attention, and so it will for your prospects!

So... what do you think about this? With a single article you have the opportunity to share it in another traffic source, to maximize your visibility chances even more...

You can add some affiliate link within the content, and also you can create a footer section with the URL of your blog, or your squeeze page. Use your imagination and you can do tons of things within the content of your eBook!

Ok... I've just created the eBook... so where can I upload it?
You can upload it into eBook Directories, just like Article Directories but for eBooks... more free targeted visitors for your business and even more exposure and backlinks for your website!

Let me share with you some of the best eBook Directories I've found so far...

http://www.ebookjungle.com/
http://www.free-ebooks.net/ (This one is very professional)
http://www.ebookheaven.co.uk/cgi-bin/suite...y/directory.cgi
http://receivedtext.org/
http://www.ebookfreeway.com/
http://www.ebookmall.com/publish-ebooks
http://www.ebooktika.com/
http://manybooks.net/contact-authors.php
http://e-library.net/free-ebook.htm

You can also upload your eBook to sites like Scribd, Crocodoc and Docstoc...
There are many sites and this could be time consuming, but it is really worth it, and many of them will make your eBook rank high in Google searches.

So... let's go back to the main topic, if you didn't know before about this traffic source, it's time to invest some time and create eBooks from your best articles don't you think?

I will give you one last TIP before I finish with this post today...
When you upload an eBook to an eBook Directory, you have to place a nice and catchy title to attract people's attention... but that's not all, some sites like Scribd will use this title to show the name of the eBook as a title in SERPS. So a bit of Keyword research won't be harmful

Feel free to leave replies, and share your experience using this traffic source!

See you soon, bye!

    Well well well...

    1,000 words is a little on the low side for an ebook.

    One page is usually about 500 words. That means what you suggest would be 2 pages. To add a table of contents to that would make the whole thing look a little weird.

      I'll prefer a 1,000 word ebook that is direct to the point than a 10,000 one full of fluff and saying the same thing over and over.

    That's a great resource thanks! . Of course what about Amazon! Get your ebook published on amazon will give you tons of exposure.

    Ebook with affiliate link would be good. I never tried this method but it must work anyway
