What do you think of this site and strategy?

You have to present your eBook as a worth buying brand. It has to offer such tips which are not found else where.

For selling it contribute to educational forums, web sites such as help/q & a sites anderite effective posts on blogs as well as article directories. Also do mot forget to add some videos on YouTube, etc.

you can also try adwords..mm to jot just rely on SEO alone.

Hi Ben,

That plan is still fine - especially if the content of your blog and articles lends itself to be readily collated into an e-book. However, some people will have difficulty justifying the purchase of an e-book if all its content is free.

One way around this would be to add additional content to the e-book that is not included online, and perhaps also to augment the existing information from the blogs with added tips and/or commentary. This means that there is unique content in the e-book, in addition to the collation of blog posts/articles, and this will add value to it, and convince more people to buy it.

Also, if you plan on collating the blog posts, are you going to mention that the e-book is a collation of blog posts, and market it as such? If not, and you want it viewed as more of a collection of good ideas and advice based on the site, then it might be an idea to re-work and re-word the blog-posts slightly, adjusting the tone and language as necessary to suit the image of the book. Don't spend too much time on this however, just make enough changes to get the desired effect, and no more.

I only say all this, because if your e-book is of high quality, if you decide to release another (say, if you want to make this a yearly release), then they will be more inclined to purchase that too. Image and reputation is very important when starting out, so it pays to put a little more effort into polishing your content.

Sounds like a good idea though, and should pay off well if you pull it off. Good luck!
