    I would say social media as people might share it with others that way. You should probably have an autoresponder in your eBook to build a list from that. That way you can keep in contact with people that visit and buy your eBook & don't lose them forever.

      Yeah, it's a good way, I never think about that of Social media people may also share my link, but in an Email marketing we it will go to any particular person. Great thanks for your suggestion. I definitely try Social media marketing.

    I have personally tried both Email marketing and Social media methods of marketing.
    However, I found email marketing to be most sufficient because if you successfully run
    a campaign, you can easily earn thousands of subscribers within a day. My conversion
    rate is not as attractive as others, but seven percent of thousand of people is indeed a
    lot of customers. I am just providing you an insight of how email marketing works.
    Many claim that email marketing is dead, but all I can say is that it is still one of the
    most effective marketing method.

    Sincerely,

    Thinh Huynh

    Personally, I like Email Marketing. But you can incorporate both.

    Have a Facebook presence with an Optin box on your Fan Page leading people to your Email Autoresponder series where you can sell your E book.

    You definitely want to market it on your blog. Use it as a freebie offer to entice people to subscribe to your email newsletter.

    Then, as others already mentioned, have an autoresponder in place that leads your customer to the sale.

    A good sequence is have a 1-2 value follow ups and 1 follow up about who you are. People like to buy from people they like and trust, not random strangers hiding behind a computer screen.

    Social Media marketing is on fire right now. Pick 1-2 channels where your audience is and start creating conversation and engaging in conversation. Then you can insert a plug/call-to-action to download your ebook.

    Another good resource is forum marketing. Find forums that are relevant to your niche, participate in the discussions, and include a link to your capture page in your forum signature.

      I would use both, but with more emphasis on the email marketing. Social media is a less controlled environment for marketing than email are. You can use social media to grow your email list - you can get followers on your list through facebook subscribe form for example.

    Social media is the best one. Beside the social media, you should do some more works, you can do the Email marketing also.

    Why does it have to be one or the other and why not both? I think that's the question you have to be asking yourself...

    Social Media, is good for Viral Marketing!

    Email, is good for Customer Retention!

    Article Marketing, is good for SEO!

    The key is to not have all your eggs in one basket and understand how each channel of marketing comes with its own rules to play by and you position your offer appropriately.

    Do as much as you can. Don't just stick to one option - you don't have to! Honestly though... i'm a lover of paid advertising. So if you can run some ads do so! Email marketing is where the money is though. Social media works if you know how to work it - and if you're a social person who loves to network with others. Like i said do as much as you can without burning yourself out, and make sure you do some paid advertising.

    Hi,

    150% I would go with email marketing. eBooks if you provide solid content can be an awesome "incentive" for someone to provide their email address in return. That means you can marketing over months bring them back sharing resources and even getting a conversions. With that said, its important to make sure that you provide value to the readers. Also,

    Email marketing can be tough when trying to figure out the right form to improve conversions however you have A/B split testing available to try different things. The point is to build long term loyalty with readers which can be done through email subscriptions.

    should I choose Email, Social media or nay other way please tell.
    In order to market by email you first need to have people on your list.

    The way you get people on your list is advertise. You should try every traffic source that is targeted to your product.

    Make the mouth of your funnel as wide as possible as long as the traffic is on target.

    Why choose if you can try all of it? Besides, it isn't that hard to handle those strategies especially social media. It will also help you to tell which strategies works best for your business.

    I go with Social Media Marketing. You can advertise your ebook very well with social media channels like facebook, twitter.

    You need to use both, but firstly, you should try the social media, then email marketing. According to me the social media marketing is better than the email marketing, hence you need to do these two at the same time.

    I personally like social media marketing because here you will get the quickest response over the marketing. People in today's generation are highly following the social media websites, so lets just start marketing through Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter,etc.

    They are both great, but your best bet is to market your new ebook every way other similar books are being marketed and how the people in your said niche are marketed to know matter what is being sold to them.

    Then find what gets you your best return on your investment, whether it be time or money, and scale those up as best you can.

    Good Luck

    Social media would be a better option to get started with.
    There are also many FB groups which are created for that purpose, which is an effective free way to start promoting your ebook.

    Why don't you host a contest? You'll get lots of eyes on your blog or website and will build a list that way. From there you can tell people about your ebook.

    Christy, I do not understand what you mean.

    Your profile links to a KDPanalytics site - so I assume you mean you published your ebook on Amazon.

    There you could use the usual promotion methods like having a free promo for 5 days where you set it to free.

    Otherwise I agree to use email marketing.

    Include a link to a landing page where you give bonus content related to your ebook in exchange for the email address.

    Social media would be my third choice but you should obviously do it. Put your cover image on Pinterest for example. FB and G+ are a natural choice.

    E-mail and social media both are good. Depends on which strategy one would use. With social media activity one can only bring traffic and exposure to the website. With e-mail marketing inquires can be flowed in..

    I prefer the Social media. Because today most of the people spend their free time by gossiping on social media. So if you prefer the social media, it may get a good result for you.
