How do I promote my eBook

Well, there are a lot of ways to generate traffic to your website:

1) Write articles for article directories
2) Spread your articles on other people's blogs
3) Spread your articles on document sharing websites
4) Write guest posts

There are many ways to promote your ebook/website both paid and free. The methods worked for me are article marketing, PPC and forum posting. Most of all the quality of your site is very important.

You can take help of SEO techniques like Article submission to quality article directories. Blogs can help you a lot. Forum relevant to topic is a good way of getting traffic to you e-book. Social networking sites are the best options for promoting your e-book.

Go for a Solo Ad in your niche and get the ball rolling. That's something you've to pay for however.

Some people are having good results by creating an exciting video 'book trailer' and posting it to video sites. Take a look at book trailers on Youtube. You could probably get something done over at Fiverr.

You could also create a blog at your domain.com/blog and post related content, and includes some links to your sales page. That will also help drive some traffic to your sales page.

I've had very good success promoting my ebook in my signature here on WF and on clickbank. One of the many great things about listing on clickbank is that it helps increase your ranking on search engines as well.

if you have any kind of small budget them outsource the work. You created the product and the website let someone else bring in traffic for you while you make more products and expand.

I am looking for mentor to guide me. Is there anybody can help me to be my mentor? I really appreciate it.

Thanks

Do you want your book to be generating sales for a very long time? Do you enjoy the topic you have written and plan to do more of it?

If so, it will require more than just a buy button and some affiliates.

Dedicating a website to the topic at large and driving traffic there may seem tedious and drawn out, but it works. Drive traffic to a website with a wealth of helpful information, something that will capture the attention of the type of people who are interested in your book.

Offer something free in turn for their e mail. You can have an e mail series or newsletter that gives away exclusive information not available in the public forum. Here, you plug your book. By then, the people you will have purchasing the book are super targeted.

1. They visited your site so they either want or need the information

2. They signed up for more information which means they have already made a commitment to delve deeper

These people will me more inclined to purchase your book and you will get much better response rates than you would otherwise.

I think this is the staple method to generate the best results

HOWEVER

Use all the tools available to you. Place your landing page on clickbank to give affiliates the opportunity to spread the word around for you. Test different methods to see what yields the best results.

It's not always a quick write and profit. Use all the tools available to you instead of just 1 or 2. You'll be better off for it.

Hope that helps.

So, what's the eBook about anyway? the topic sometimes affects the promotion method.

I would suggest using document sharing sites like Scribd, DocStoc and also implement some specific ebook sharing sites like Free Ebooks, Get Free Ebooks.

But, if you want to go a little more "expert", then consider guest posting a.k.a. guest blogging. It's amazing how this old-school strategy never ceases to bring results.

Another great strategy is to do JV's with other marketers in your niche. Make a short, customized email and explain you would like to give him the ebook for free.

In return, you get free traffic from his email list (wherever he promotes you).

P.S. If using guest blogging, always go for the biggest blogs in your niche. Go for the BIG fishes to get good traffic.

1. If you use good keywords, Google will pick this up and improve your ranking and exposure.
2. As far as promoting your website is concerned; if you deliver quality and valuable content, your website and eBook will do the marketing for you; only you, however, can truly answer this question.

Try ebook syndication !!

Write another ebook, or a couple, only shorter, 7 to 14 pages, put links in these ebooks back to your website and a promo add at the end again linking to your site, go to fiverr.com and get someone to do you a great looking cover for $5.

You then need to submit your free ebooks to free ebook sites like free-ebooks.net
If i where you i would choose 3 sites, place them into the categories to suit your niche.
People will search out your free ebooks on these sites and if your content is good then they will click through to take a look at your site, and hopefully purchase your main ebook.

All the best,
Steven.

PPC is a great way to get some fast action going.

Use PPC to give a free report that gives some useful info regarding the subject of your ebook. With this free report you can gain the trust of the prospective customer that could turn them into a buyer.

To give this free report away you can buy some cheap clicks thru adwords that may not have you at the top but with offering a Free Report that gives valuable info you will get clicks and then as your click thru rate goes up you will get moved closer to the top and the clicks may even get cheaper.

You can promote it by writing articles. Join Forum with your link in it. Do Blog commenting and guest blogging.

I link to my eBooks from EVERYTHING I do online.

-Forum Signature Lines
-Articles (Contextually + Profile/Signature Areas)
-My Blog
-etc

Thanks for the thread. I'm going to be doing this very soon as well.

There are many ways to promote a product or website what I do is:

Yahoo Answers - write answers related to the site/product

Make comments on related blogs
Make guest posts
Use videomarketing
