and
http://www.floodle.net/
These are just 2 examples of sites that have free resources
on them.
So
browse through the listings and see all the e-Books that
are available.
The
majority of these free e-Books are e-Books that are given
away as a marketing strategy to promote websites.
If
you download a few you will see.
This is a good way to promote your website. Create a free
e-Book and then have links in it back to your website. If
you can distribute this e-Book through other means then
slo0wly you can generate traffic to your site.
Creating an e-Book.
Creating an e-Book is very easy. Choose your topic and then
go to a website like
http://www.ezinearticles.com
Do
a search on the topic that you are writing on. You should
easily find many articles about your topic. Then all you
have to do is read the topics and re-write them in your
own words. This is easier than it sounds. You need to rewrite
the articles to avoid copyright issues and also if you rewrite
it you will be generating unique content.
You
should use a program like MS Word to write your e-Book and
then save it as a PDF. If you have the full version of Adobe
Acrobat you have a lot of features in it that allow you
to put security restrictions on your e-Book.
This
is really what you want to do as you want to limit what
people can do with your information.
They can still get around the security features if they
really want to - but at least you can slow them up a bit.
You
can also find free PDF creator software on the internet
if you look hard.
Add
a front page, graphics and easy to read text - basically
- have a look at any published book and try and replicate
what they have done for your own e-Book.
Make
sure you have written quality content and abase it on a
topic that everyone wants to know about. This will improve
your chances of selling more e-Books.
Promoting
your e-Book.
So you have completed your e-Book. Now it is time to promote
it. What are the best ways to promote your e-Book.
Here
are a few ideas;
Give the first chapter away for free.
Get your web visitors to sign up to your mailing list and
as a bonus give them the first chapter for free. This will
then allow you to email them on a regular basis.
There
is a lot of work involved here and you need to do this on
a regular basis - so it is not exactly passive income.
If
you give a portion of your e-Book away for free them people
are more likely to buy it as they can see the quality they
are getting. Just make sure you structure it so is is tantalizing
enough for them to want to know more.
Find
Free e-Books and Package them up.
Find as many e-Books as you can on your particular topic.
You can find these on websites like listed above.
Package
them all up and add them as a free bonus when someone buys
your e-Book.
Sell
your package on eBay.
Find a lot of free e-Books. Add a promotion page to each
one and sell them on eBay for an irresistible price - 1
cent.
If
you put thousands of e-Books in the pack - then your distribution
should spread like wildfire!
