Fiverr ?

I wanted to know if anyone here knows any ways i can give say an ebook away for free on Fiverr where no payment has to be made.

I was just thinking i would create a new fiverr account and create a gig with a title like:

I will give you for my ebook for FREE not $5

and in the discription describe what my free ebook is about and place a download link at the end, but i'm pretty sure that my gig would get deleted really fast.

What do you think?

Any help on this would be great.

Thanks,

Martin

    Hi Martin,

    So far, that's a no-entry to fiverr. But if you a play a little intelligent it should work.

    Some thoughts:-

    Offer a fiverr gig where you sell a paid version (or say version 2.0) of something. Inside the description you tell the details of it and include a link saying 'if you would like to have a copy of the ver.10, get it here' - I think fiverr wont delete such a gig. And you can get a 50-60% conversion with this. I'm not sure though. I think it should work

    Hope it helps.
    Mervik.

    You could do a $5 gig for the physical product (or a printout that you don't go broke if you really have to ship it for $4) and then offer the download as a "sample".

    You could even add a subscribe form to the free download page "... just to make sure not everybody downloads it...".

    This would be a little sneaky but as far as I can tell within their rules.

    Nobody can prevent you from showing what you have if the gig is really about the physical product.

    anytime someone sells something for $5, fiverrr takes $1 out of there and pays the seller $4. so if you give something away for free, they dont get their share so they will not let you do that.

      Right !
      I think the best idea is to offer your book as a gift to your gig.
      Take another ebook about "make money online in 7 steps" ( just an example) and make a gig like this:

      " I will learn you how to make money online in simple 7 steps and You'll get my premium ebook for FREE"

      With this method everyone is happy. Fiverr receive money and you promote your book (+$4 / gig )

    I offer a $5 ebook on one of my fiverr gigs and then deliver three ebooks with optins to build my lists.

    I get good feedback as I overdeliver on the advertised ebook and people gladly join my list if that is what they are looking for.

    Why don't you brainstorm a bit and find a good reason that would make people jump on your offer for $5 then headline it What is your value proposition?
