Free E-Book on Building a REAL Business Online

7 replies
I'm putting together a free e-book for people who are interested in building a real business online. (Not just post links and make affiliate sales/commissions). I know there is already a ton of information out there in the "make money online niche", and you may not want to waste your time reading something "you already" or "doesn't work". Thats why I want to get real feedback from real people who are seriously interested in this topic. What are some of the specific subjects/topics you would like to see covered in such a e-book?

    Why would you want to do that?

    No, seriously. Putting together an ebook and give it away.

    I suggest that you write an ebook and sell it.

    My suggestion is if you are trying to build a list give away a free report but keep the best tips and strategies for your book and have it as an OTO.

    While I somewhat agree with the advice of the 2 previous respondents, I am not totally against your idea of giving the Ebook away as a free product. HOWEVER, you certainly should be getting something in return. Money is not always necessary but in the very least VALID CONTACT information so that you could solicit those who download the book. And maybe to a LIMITED amount of trusted colleagues, Warrior Forum Members, marketers, etc... You would give a free or review copy. The constructive criticism that you receive from it could possibly help you continue to revise it until your Ebook becomes a STELLAR PRODUCT that you could sale for a premium price. Hmmm and maybe you could give 3 or 4 chapters away for free in order to create an interest in acquiring the rest of the Ebook rather then giving the entire Ebook away. Finally, I love your topic and can't wait until you finish the book. Furthermore I would greatly appreciate if you reached out to me when your book is completed.

      Thanks for the replies everybody! I creating the ebook as free thing to give away for people who subscribe to my email list. I'm actually in the process of creating a video course that I'm going to be selling that will go in full detail of how to create an online business from the ground-up targeted more to new or young entrepreneurs . In the outline process I'm already up to 14 chapters/modules. So this video course is going to be super in-depth with me taking them step by step through videos, PDFs, and text. I just need a free e-book or incentive to have people to subscribe to my list. And I want it to be a e-book on what the people want to know not just what I think they need. Make sense?

        Olivia500,

        Of course makes sense!
        If you deliver what you have promised, you'd make good money.

          I think instead of creating the eBook I might just offer the first 3 or 4 modules of the course free for those who subscribe!

    For the longest time I had trouble finding a good niche to get into. I'd say this would be pretty big for newbies.

    And not just "Popular niches: This, this and that".
    I'm talking mathematical analysis using keyword tools, ebay, amazon, etc.

    Great idea though!
