Free eBook Listing Sites

by Jerryl

Hello,

Has anybody had any success with the eBook listing sites? You know the ones that list your eBook for sale, (along with 100's of others, of course.)

Or how about giving away an eBook to build your list on those sites?

Thanks

    If you make an eBook with MRR or giveaway rights, you should have some way of the reader getting back to your website. Insert some links to your products, your websites, your affiliate links in a good eBook.

    It's a proven method.

    Then offer MRR for it, with a restriction stating it cannot be altered. Of course you should lock your PDF first.

    I watched a really good explination of this in one of the traffic dashboard videos from Kim Roach. I need to write a good free report before implamenting it, but from what Kim reported it does work well - even better if you pay to get your book featured on the homepage.

    The homepage of something like free-ebooks.net is going to get you a lot of traffic

      I tried this method last year having seen in on Kim's Traffic Dashboard.

      I am in my early IM days (and was still very much a newbie then). I wrote a 20 page ebook on setting up an internet business. It wasn't too bad, but it had no great insights. Would have been interesting to the newbie looking to find out about IM though.

      All in I paid about $90 for a listing on the homepage for a week. In total it was downloaded about 2,000 times. Sounds good so far....but even though it was full on links back to my squeeze page I only got about 100 views of my squeeze page and 35 people signing up to my list.

      That said I am sure you could improve massively on this with a better quality product.

      One other thought is that people looking on these free ebook sites are likely to be 'tyre kickers' rather than 'buyers'. This has proved to be the case with sales from my 35 sign ups being very poor so far.

      Hope this helps

      Dave

        A lot of it has to do with the quality of the writing, the subject matter, and the way you link.

        You'll need to contextually link in your paragraphs and also use your words to build a bit of excitement or anticipation about the thing you're talking about , then present the link to someone interested.

        Looky-Loo's suck, I have hundreds, but tell me Dave, did you recover the $90? If you did, or made more than $90 from your low-quality list, then you were successful.

        If not, you've learned what to do and that you can do it better next time.

        I lost money on my second WSO, but I still did a third, and will do a fourth.
