Zero traffic/ Limited funds to spend on Advertising for Ebook

by eagle3y3
8 replies
I have an ebook but I don't know how to spread the word. I keep seeing solo ads, create a youtube, seo, forum marketing, guestblog but most options require money and tons of it. My ebook is a niche cookbook that I've researched heavily. Would it be wise just to sell on Amazon and promote through fb and reddit to go review for free? I've already added my link and social media accounts in my book to sell future products. Would this be an effective plan?

    Creating a youtube video promoting your Ebook will cost you nothing and will bring you a lot of organic traffic.
    Doing basic SEO will do too and cost nothing.

    I bet if you do a little research you will find a forum for cooking (cooking forums)
    Here are a few I just found from Google
    -www.cookingforums.net
    Discuss Cooking - Cooking Forums
    Cooking Forum Discussions | Cooking Ideas, Cooking Tips & Recipe Swapping | Taste of Home
    Most of these are free too and will bring you traffic to your Ebook

    Guest blogging , Comment posting you name will bring you a lot of traffic without you spending all it will take is some little hard work and patience from you. So by you saying most options require money and tons of it, is really not the case.

    Hope that was helpful

    I can do a youtube video but once again, I would have to bring traffic to that channel in order for it to get views. I'll look into forum posting more but I myself never found myself clicking on signatures so I figured it would be a waste of time. I've looked into guest blogging but most are either asking for money or don't do guest blogs.My main concern is wasting a LOT of time in order to get no results. I'm more than willing to put the work in if I know I can get results.

    Try speaking to cooking blogs and influencers within the community. Maybe you could allow them to demonstrate a few of your best recipes in exchange for promotion of the eBook, which would provide income to them through an affiliate link.

    Why don`t you try social media ? That`s a free place to share your product and get real visitor traffic from.. just focus on the free marketing techniques for starters

    Why don't you create a landing page and give the whole book away for free or a part of it and have the whole book at a one time offer.

    Create a landing page and let your funnel do the work. Getting traffic is the easy part!

    Go find some cooking forums and participate on those. You have classifieds like craigslist and backpage. Don't let others full you about these sites. Each one produces between 5 and 10 leads a day alone for me. Just that but it takes posting my ads every morning.

    Create yourself a facebook page and start participating on other pages and that will bridge people back to your page and ask for a Like.

    You have Twitter is a good traffic source.

    These are all good networks its people that screw them up.

    As the saying goes systems work it people who fail.

    I promote books on twitter with the following hash tags:

    1. #FREEKINDLEBOOKS
    2. #FREEKINDLE
    3. #FREEBOOK


    Please make sure that your picture looks great in icon size.


    Remember that twitter gets the picture it uses from your amazon cover.
