eBook Profit Spiral

Here are three eBook promotion methods that will spiral your profits. And, by-the-way, they only cost you time and effort.

These eBook promotion strategies are easy ways to attract readers to your Web site. From there, you can develop ways to build an opt-in subscriber list and make sales.

Even better, these techniques require no additional work once they are set up.

The reason, because they continue to attract readers.

These three strategies are:

• Offer a free eBook
• Offer a free eCourse
• Syndicate eBook Chapters as Articles, or extract Articles from your eBook

Offer a Free eBook

Compile articles on a selected topic into an eBook and give it away.

Set the giveaway on its own page on your Website.

Include a description of the free eBook and add an opt-in request form that requires visitors to enter their name and E-mail address before they can download the eBook.

This builds a mailing list of people who are interested in the topic of your eBook.

This strategy also allows you to test various offers, especially if you install something like Google’s free Analytics program to determine how many visitors landed on the page.

You can also offer your free eBook to people that subscribe to your newsletter or eZine. The eBook can build the subscriber list when you offer it as an incentive.

In addition, place an update form in the eBook, so that readers can receive updates.

While this seems like a lot of work for a free eBook, the strategy pays off because your readers come to know and trust you. And readers that know and trust you buy products that you recommend…as long as you continue to recommend only top-quality products.

You should also allow others to give your free eBook away. This increases the effectiveness of the links that you embed in the eBook, and brings visitors to your site, and brings visitors to the affiliate offers that you promote.

Variation #1: Allow others to give your free eBook away through a sign up on your site.

Variation #2: Set up a “Branding” system so that the people that are giving your eBook away can enter their link information. This way you capture their names and E-mail addresses, too.

Offer a Free eCourse

An eCourse is really an eBook that is separated into segments and delivered by an Autoresponder.

An eCourse can also be a collection of articles that are not as tightly edited as an eBook.

Once the eCourse is set up, readers that sign up for the course (opt-in) receive one installment on the schedule that you select. For example: Once each day, once a week, every other week, etc.

Then, you use this eCourse to gather names and E-mail addresses so that you can market to interested readers.

Syndicate Your eBook Chapters as Articles

Website publishers are always on the lookout for fresh content for their sites. You can break your free eBook into chapters and offer these for syndication.

When you syndicate your articles, you convert them into Javascript. Then, the Website owner copies this Javascript to their Web pages.

The benefit of syndicating your eBooks as articles is that you get a wider distribution of your important content. This helps you brand your products and services.

The disadvantages to a syndication system are that you host the Javascript on your Website, and that you pay for the bandwidth of serving those pages. (Since the Javascript code is larger than the normal Web page, you need an account with unlimited bandwidth if you use this technique and are successful.

For an affordable unlimited hosting account, check out the Host Gator offer.

Another disadvantage of syndicating your pages as Javascript is that some people turn off Javascript in their Web browsers. These folks won’t be able to read your content.

The place to get free Wizard software that will convert your pages to Javascript is:

Syndicating your eBook content pages can provide a service to other Website owners. You provide the code for them to use.

First you write an article or separate your eBook into chapters.

Then you create a normal Web page with the eBook content that you want to syndicate.

Finally, you use the free software to compile Javascript code that contains your content.

With this Javascript code, all other Website owners have to do is then write articles to plug into the code. You can find free code for doing this at

These three methods may seem easy, but you must implement them if you are to increase the profits of your eBook business.
