20 Ways To Profit With Free eBooks

Here are 20 great ways that you can use free eBooks to

boost your sales and profits.

1. Build your mailing list

Free eBooks make an excellent incentive to entice people to join your list.

2. Keep your subscribers

Give away a brand new free eBook each time you mail out

your newsletter or at least once a month so your readers

have a reason to stay subscribed. Start a subscribers-only

eBook library and keep adding new eBooks often.

3. Entice more affiliates to promote your product

Offer your free eBooks and free re-brandable eBooks as

an incentive for potential affiliates to join your program.

4. Sell customization rights to your own eBooks

If you've written a quality eBook and have several affiliate

links in it, you can earn more money by selling the

customization rights.

5. Back-end profits

Purchase customization rights to other author's eBooks and

give them away free to your mailing list. You can make a

profit when they purchase something through your affiliate

links.

6. Become an instant 'expert'

Write an eBook on a topic that you know a lot about and

give it away to a target market. Once people recognize you

as an expert on your particular subject area, they'll be more

willing to spend their hard-earned money with you.

7. Grow your downline

Offer free eBooks as an incentive to join an affiliate program under you. Allow your downline affiliates to give away the eBooks as well so they can build their own (and your)  downline.

8. Become a leader

Train your affiliate team by giving away your free eBooks

that help them learn how to build their own businesses.

eBooks help you save on the cost of ordering printed copies

and shipping them to your affiliates.

9. Boost your web site traffic

Write an eBook yourself for free distribution and insert your web site links in a way that gives your readers a compelling reason to visit your site, either for the resources that you have to offer or an invitation to download even more eBooks.

10. Survey your list

Do you have a great idea for a new product or eBook, but

you need to find out if there's even a market for it? Create

a survey and use free eBooks to encourage people to

respond to it. To ensure a decent response to your survey,

offer multiple eBooks or a tangible product that you own,

or even a download of the very product that you plan to

create as a result of the survey.

11. Get viral

Give away a free eBook that others can re-brand with their

own links so that they will eagerly give it away to their own

mailing lists. Include your own affiliate program, traffic

exchange programs, or multi-tier affiliate programs that

readers can join through your links to get the most from

this strategy.

12. Get free advertising

Give away a free eBook that hasn't been circulated very

much or distribute one of your own products or eBooks to

ezine editors in exchange for free ad space in their ezine.

13. Get joint venture partners

Make your joint venture offer more attractive by offering

your partners a valuable or unique eBook that you own

outright or have the right to give away.

14. Build link popularity

Induce others to link to your web site by offering them free

eBooks or one of your own products. The more links you have

pointing to your web site, the higher you'll rank on the major search engines (and the more targeted traffic you'll get).

15. Promote your own products

Offer free preview versions (say, the first couple of

chapters) of an eBook that you wrote in order to promote

it and get lots more people to buy it from you. Combine

this with a re-brander to get a viral effect and increase the number of downloads of your preview version. If you're

selling a software package, give away a free report that

explains how your software best solves your target

market's biggest problem and how it will benefit them.

16. Enhance the value of your product

Give away free eBooks as bonuses along with your own

product to enhance its perceived value. This works best

if the bonus is related to the topic of the product you're

selling.

17. Keep in touch with your customers

Send your customers free eBooks on a regular basis to

show them you how much you value their business and

to remind them of your products in a way they won't find

objectionable.

18. Solicit testimonials

Offer free eBooks or bonuses to your existing customers in

exchange for testimonials that you can put up on your web

site sales page.

19. Boost flagging sales

When sales are slow, create an eBook with a few discount

coupons or special offers and give them away to your past

customers. This is also a good strategy to boost holiday

sales.

20. Revive your old articles

Update some of your old articles or sections of your

newsletter archives and compile them into an eBook

to give them a new lease on life.
