12 years ago

There is a TRAIN sized methods exists but you really need to focus in one method , In my own strategies Facebook will do the work for you .

1. Create a contest with your e-book

2. Offer something to your users

3. Advertise in blogs and PPC about your offer

I think your best bet is to use a combination of methods to get your free ebook out there. You can use document sharing sites, free ebook download sites, upload them to torrent sites, get the work out on social networking sites such as facebook and twitter. The list goes on and on, just get it out there.

Attach a super high price tag and then upload it to all the torrent sites. It'll get out there.

Love that idea!

Also submit it to all the free ebook directories:

Free-eBooks.net | Download free Fiction, Health, Romance and many more ebooks
Jogena's eBook Directory
http://www.wisdomebooks.com/add76.html
Add Ebook. Submit Ebook. Ebook submission. eLibrary.
Free ebooks - Download 20,000 free ebooks at the eBook Directory.
Directory of Ebooks and Ecourses
Ebooks Free Download - Ebook Search Engine
A huge directory of free ebooks!

That should help too....

Hi,

Create a version of your ebook which people can "re-brand" with their own liknks - affiliate, web site, whatever.

If you're granting give-away rights they then have an extra incentive to disitribute/pass on their "braded" version for the chance of commission, more traffic to their own site etc depending in the extent of re-branding you allow.

Giving away the benefits of the book kinda defetes the whole purpose of going viral, wouldn't you say?

Hi,

I guess it depends on what you are seeking to achieve - if it's about getting the ebook out there (and the ebook is something you'd be giving away anyway) then the rebrand/redistribute route can be very effective.

All a matter of personal choice and strategy.

Best,

Andy.

  Video marketing is a good way to spread the word as well. Create some informative videos and have a link to your squeeze page in the video description and also mention your website in the video.
  
  Submit videos to top video sharing sites like youtube and rinse and repeat. Videos really do bring a lot of traffic so if you are not doing them you should start now.
  
  Thanks

Offer 100% comissions.

--------

EDIT: My brain must have skipped "Free" ebook..

Just attach a price tag to the ebook and offer 100% comissions. That would be better IMO. Depends on the market though!

Thanks

Allow re-branding, after all you're giving it away. Or charge say $7.00 and offer an affiliate program whereby the person buying the book can re-brand/resell and keep 100% of the commission.

Start a blog write articles related to your e-book.

Use ebook directories.

FaceBook, twitter any of the social networking sites.

Write articles for ezine directories (just make sure you read ALL their rules) and have a great come on in your author's box.

Thanks

Send ebook to your big list of prospects.

1) tell them they have rights to spread or give the ebook around to whoever they want.

2) Also tell them in at the start of the ebook. i.e. say "You have free GIVEAWAY rights to this ebook.....yada yada"

These tactic should increase the effect of your viral bomb.
