How to give away my ebook?

16 replies
Hey warriors.

So after weeks of procrastinating I finally put together my first ever report/ebook.

It's basically a step by step process on how ANYONE can get their first few subscribers onto their mailing list. Intended for those who just want to get their first few and grow from there

My question is, what are the best ways for me to give away this report?

The purpose of the exercise is to both grow my list and get this report in front of as many eyes that need this information to really kick start their online business.

Cheers folks,
Sean

    Hey Sean,
    You can possibly arrange a JV with a another product owner, which will promote your give away e-book in his thank you page as a bonus to the buyers\subscribers.

    This way, you get new opt-ins and he get a product to build his value without creating it, or another valuable thing like free promotion to your list.

    You need a highly converting squeeze page where you need to send visitors...

      I guess to know if it's high converting or not you need to get people to it, right?

    Free giveaways are often appreciated by people. But if you want to make it as a WSO for a low price, you are also welcome. If you are planning for a free giveaway, just make a thread here and post it under your post. I have seen m many to do the same.

      Cheers man.

      BUT, sending traffic to either a squeeze page or blog was the part I was wondering about

    Hey Sean,

    1) Create a squeeze page offering the ebook and then drive traffic to the squeeze page.

    2) Use the ebook you just wrote as a traffic generator in itself. Here's what you do. Include links in your ebook to another squeeze page (you'll have to make a new one) and then upload the ebook to ebook directories like:

    Free-eBooks.net | Download free Fiction, Health, Romance and many more ebooks
    Ezine Directory and eBook Directory
    eBooks, ePubs, eBook best sellers, eBook bargains - eBookMall

    Good luck!

    Reverse psychology. Do your best to prevent others from sharing it, threaten life & limb to those who do, and protect your ebook zealously. It will end up in every torrent & black hat site before you know it!

    PS: Is that Alex Jeffries with you in your signature picture?

      I like your thinking Wendy

      It is Alex yeah. I met up with him at a warrior event over in London in May. He's as nice in person as he is online. Really genuine guy

    Hey Sean,
    I'd go with the link in the signature option. Set-up a tracking plugin on your blog (just search for "link cloaker") and you'll be able to track how many times you report has been downloaded.
    People generally appreciate a free gift and will might turn into repeat visitors for your site etc.

    Promote it on the ebook directories. Promote it on your main page (create a squeeze page for it). Promote it on relevant forums in your niche. Promote it on your blog, and do video marketing for it and lead people back to your site. Also write up some articles and do SEO to get traffic to your site.

    You can write an article and submit it to ezine articles.

    Those interested in what you wrote, will click on your link to land in your squeeze page. Once in your squeeze page, if they like what they see, some of them will sign up to get your free report.

    That is how you give your free report away to people.

    You can use facebook, email signature, article marketing, and other traffic techniques to send people to your squeeze page.
    That is the way is done in this days.

    I hope that helps a little bit.
