How to promote free e guide.

8 replies
I'm planning on creating a short e book or e guide with some affiliate links in it. I don't want to charge for the e book since it will be pretty short, probably around 10 pages. I am hoping to profit through making some affiliate sales.

Can anyone suggest some ways in which I could promote this e book? Thanks.

    Clickbank is teeming with affiliates ready to promote products. With a solid sales page, that's probably the first place I'd start.

    Yeah I agree with Eric, clickbank is a great place to start. Also if you have a large social circle you could send a link out to many people as well as post it on social networking websites and forums where you are regularly active (but make it available once they sign up their email so you can create a mailing list for future promotions and etc)

    I would start by adding it as a free give away in your signature on here. Then, I would build a blog around the topic, post to it like crazy (outsource some of the writing), and build a list from there. I would use it as a free give away for joining a newsletter list. Then, you can promote to your list regularly with the products you are featuring in it.

    You can also run a WSO and give it away.

    I don't agree with putting it on clickbank at all. If his income comes from his affiliate links in the ebook and it is free, how can you sell it on clickbank.

    The first step is to tell us who your target audience is and what how your ebook will help them.

      If it is a category that can be found on fiverr.com, I would suggest making it a gig and at least you get $5 for each copy.

      I am doing the same thing and getting upsells regularly. But it has to be a hot fiverr category. If not, there are a handful of gigs that take your gig or offer and promote it around the net. I suggested one in another thread - off hand the username is domignostics on fiverr who offers to feature your gig in a monthly pdf newsletter which is distributed and marketed across the internet. And at $5 I don't see how you could go wrong with that.

      You can buy traffic as well at very low cost. Here on WF you can find a few WSO's that send loads of people to your offer - do a search for traffic in the search feature in the menu above.

      If you got a little more money, there are other advertising methods that work for many others.

      But I would try all the free and low cost methods first - including a little elbow greese and eyebrow sweat!

    Don't forget 'paydotcom.com' either. It's another affiliate network.
    Also, offer other marketers 'give away' rights.

    There are many ways depending on the niche. I would try creating a fanpage and offer the ebook as a gift for liking your page.
