Make More Money -
Giving Away Your Niche E-book..

In my last article titled: 'How
To Insert Affiliate Links Into Your Free Report or Review', we
talked about adding niche product affiliate links into body
text for maximum profit, so now I'm going to tell you how to
get your free report out in front of your chosen niche
marketplace.
Once you have written your free
report / ebook and inserted the links to various products
offered by your affiliates, (you being the affiliate) the next
task on your list is going to be finding a good home on the
Internet for your free report.
You will also want to develop
strategies for promoting the free report so you can generate
some interest in both the report and the affiliate links
contained therein. Here are some ideas to help you make a
permanent place online for your free report, as well as
publicize the report in the right places.
One potential means of
finding a home for your free report is to start up your own web
site, hosting is pretty cheap nowadays, plus if you have your
own site you have the opportunity of selling your own relevant
niche products (take a look at my article titled: Turn Your
Hard-drive Junk Into Niche Marketing Profits-Fast). Don't want
to pay for hosting no problem, most ISP's will allow you a
small amount of free space on their server.
Another alternative is to get
your free report listed in listings of E-book directories. Look
for directories that focus in some manner on topics that are
related to the niche subject matter of your free report.
This will make it easier for
people to come across the link to your free report while
looking for information online. This approach can still lead to
some excellent traffic for your free report, and best of all
its free.
Free Promotion For Your
Free Report
Now that you have a nice new home
for your free ebook / report its time to start your promotion,
now for me spending money at this point would just be silly as
this is really a viral income so you can't expect to make shed
loads of cash with just one report and therefore PPC or any
other form of paid advertising would just be defeating the
whole object of the exercise.
The method I use is very straight
forward and very free, I write around 20 unique articles, which
are relevant to my free ebook. I then post the articles to my
favourite article sites over the next couple of days.
After the initial marketing
launch I will submit 1 or 2 articles a week, which usually
keeps things going, if the revenue starts to dry up, submit
another larger batch of articles, If that doesn't work chances
are interest in your free publication has passed, so move onto
the next product...easy.
Unlike some niche marketer's I'm
not going to tell you to submit to hundreds of sites as that is
just a waste of time, in my opinion you only need to post to a
select few and here's why,
'Ezinearticles' has a PR6 rating
at the time of writing, and from experience if your articles
are good you'll get great traffic.
For a series of 12 articles I
recently wrote over a couple of weeks regarding a health niche,
I received 1368 views, resulting in 987 unique visits to my
niche site, this was in the space of just six weeks and for
only submitting to one good article site.
Here's my favourite
article sites: EzineArticles.com
ArticleDashboard.com
ArticlesBase.com
ArticleAlley.com
GoArticles.com
Buzzle.com
In my experience it's only really
worth submitting to article sites with a good page rank, if you
want to find the page rank of any site, go to Google and get
the toolbar.
If you want to extend your
marketing, you could submit some free press releases, which can
add credibility to your give-away.
There you go, probably the
easiest way you will ever find of making money on-line and it
won't cost you a cent. So do it again and again and again, it
beats watching TV.
Hope you enjoyed the article, why
not take a look at my other guides their all free, or get in
touch, its always good to hear from like minded
individuals.
Putting together your own content
is by far the best path to take, however if time is an issue
you might want to try the following websites which offer plr
content and packages on a one off or monthly basis,
alternatively take a look through resources as i may have a
couple of PLR packs there which you could use.
Sorry I'm strugeling to find a
good one at present I will update this section if and when
i find one.
