Hi,

I have a free ebook (Basic version) and advanced ebook (paid version)...

how do I do viral marketing with this free ebook? i don't have much
experience in viral marketing with free ebooks....

do i just give resell rights to everyone for the free ebook? and teach them
how to sell it online?

and in the free ebook, have links to get my paid ebook?

what are some SOLID basic tips to quickly implement for this viral strategy?

thanks
BJ

    I do it like this:

    1. Set up a squeeze page
    2. Add a picture of the ebook
    3. Add an opti form

    That's it. your ebook go viral, you build your list and sell your paid products (I have an example in my sig if you want to see - the seo stuf-)

    Oh yea, I guess that you added embeded links, so you can also distribute it to file sharing sites...

    A last thing, get affiliates and allow them to send the free ebook to their list with embeded links so when someone buy, affiliates get credited.

    All the best.

        Any suggestions for this?

        I just finished a book and am trying to decide if this is the right monetization/distribution model for it

    Viral marketing means you put your url on the ebooks and distribute it out free. in your url make sure you have a landing page to capture op-in.

    google search "free ebook directories" (100+ if i am not mistaken) and submit your eooks there. and vistors pickup your ebooks may distribute to his/her list or as freebies to cpture op-in.This will make your ebooks spread like VIRUS accross the net and generate tons of traffic in years to come.

    Make sure you got Private Label Rights ebooks and your url on it (no other's url) or you are the viral marketing for others instead of your own

    This is what i would do...

    1. Sell it w/ master rights and a minisite. For an OTO, let people brand the link for the more expensive one w/ their affiliate link.

    2. Sell it as a WSO.

    3. Join giveaway events and let it be your freebie. This means you can also follow-up w/ those who download it.

    4. Post it to warez/p2p sites but dont tell it's yours.

    Free ebooks are hard to go viral but paid ones...
