E-book Promotion Tips?

9 years ago

You may find this website helpful:

eBook submission and promotion. Submit your e-books, increase traffic and sales.

5,000 downloads is a LOT of downloads for a new ebook. It's not impossible for a popular topic, but it's optimistic.

Also my experience is a lot of people download ebooks, but never read them (or even open them). I'd be more concerned with readers than downloads.

If you can structure your ebook & your marketing so that you know people at least open the ebook, and read it (like offer some incentive to do so), this will have a big effect.

e.g.
5,000 downloads, but 10% actually read = 500 readers

2,000 downloads, but 50% actually read = 1,000 readers

Which would you prefer?

Thanks

  Thank you, it's my company's. Although still relevant, it does need a major update, and one is planned.

I would think they'll vary in what they allow.

However, make sure you'll put an irresistible offer inside your ebook to get them to download it. Put it in the front as well as in the back so people are sure to see it even if they don't read the book all the way to the end.

And then use your paid book as an upsell...

Note: If you don't have another product, you could use a high quality PLR product that is related as your bribe to get them to sign up.

You're better off setting up a squeeze page and giving away the ebook in return for their email so that coax them along with the content and market to them in the future. Will increase the vallue of the people you want to download your ebook.

As for traffic it all depends on you. If your squeeze page converts around 40% then you need around 12,500 people to come to your squeeze page... very doable in a month but you would have to invest that $100 wisely and get a lot of free traffic. Or JV partners.

Hey I've already set up squeeze page. I was thinking to go for Free Wso and upgrade my membership that will cost me $80. but i don't think so free wso will give me such an amount of subscribers. I also had an idea of buying a banner add on WF, but it will be costly for me, and honestly i don't know if i should link it to my free wso or my squeeze page. My current CConversation ratio is 40% but i'll make some tweaks before starting the campaign and hopefully conversation ratios will go up

some self-published e-book authors also tap bloggers to review their books in exchange for a copy. maybe you can try that, too. or your might consider hosting giveaways to spread the word about your work

I have a sci/fi fantasy ebook for FREE, anyone have any insights to promote this book. I plan to use this as an incentive to promote my book series which comprises of 7 books, book 2 is about to published. I supposed I can use the same ebook submission sites mentioned above. Anyone has insights for this specific genre?

Thank you

Here is my site, any feedback would be much appreciated: legendsofamunra.com

Well since you're making $1726.23 every month, without even selling a single product... i think you should stick with what you're doing in your signature. You can get your advertising budget there.

Besides submitting to the ebook directories, how about taking some content out of your free ebook and use it to syndicate it across the internet so that you will get more people coming to your website. There are many free platforms which you can use to share your content. You just need to be prepared to work on it if you have limited budget.

Just a note on free-ebooks.net

I used to use them quite a bit years ago, and just logged on to their site to submit on of my latest books.

Now they require you book to be over 50 pages, (if is its non-fiction and I am assuming it is) and if it has affiliate links they want to charge you $49.50 for a year.

Just FYI.

  Try out with some gigs from Fiverr.With at least $5 you can some promotion to your eBook
  You probably need to invest before you start earning.
  I can conclude your budget is restricted for real marketing.

Just wondering how a free ebook can benefit a paid ebook. Shouldn't you just put the same effort into selling the paid one and less into giving something away?

I don't have big Marketing budget, at Most i can spend $100 on Marketing of my Free E-book.

It's certainly possible to promote an eBook with a low budget of only $100 but the much bigger question is why would you need to since your signature says that you make $1,726 per month without even selling any eBooks?
