Hey, using eBooks, eReports and eCourses is a fantastic way to
build a list.
You can use these things as an "incentive" for joining your
affiliate program, as a "thank you" for visiting your site, a
"bonus" when someone purchases a product/service from you. The
possibilities are endless!!
Many eBusiness people use them, however, some are making TWO
HUGE MISTAKES when they do use them. Here is what they do...
1. They upload these things to their site and publish the
download link WITHOUT capturing an email address and name.
The WHOLE POINT of using this "stuff" is to build a list. YOU
CAN'T MARKET TO A GHOST!!! Instead of uploading your items to
your server and just publishing the download link, work
smarter... Set yourself up with a mini-site where you can direct
people to and for the PRICE of their email address and name,
they can have the download link sent to them.
NOW you have a warm body to market to AND you know what they are
interested in.
2. They don't take advantage of customizing eBooks, etc with
THEIR OWN links.
You want your marketing efforts to pay off for YOU. If you are
giving away an eBook with someone else's links in it then all
your marketing is paying off for the person whose links are
inside. WHY ARE YOU DOING THAT??
There are tons of people out there falling into that trap.
However, right now YOU'RE my concern. If they want to not bother
spending a little extra and purchase a customization license
that's their downfall. Actually, we want those people because if
they distribute our eBook with our links inside, great...they
are marketing for us.
But YOU..no, no, no my friend. You are into working
smarter...not harder. So ensure that if there is a customization
license and if you can afford it, then upgrade to it. Get your
links, site name, url and in some cases ads in the books,
courses and reports you are giving away.
THEN encourage those who do request your reports, etc to give
them away to their networks, downlines and associates. Your
links and info are laced within and when people open it they see
YOU and THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT ;o)
Here are two products which have customization licenses
available, which won't break the bank.
1. "How To Turn A Simple Sign Up Process Into An... Unstoppable
Income Stream." (eBook) http://www.profitspace.com/book.html
2. "How To Guarantee eBusiness Success" (eCourse)
http://www.profitspace.com/success/cust.html
A "mini-site" is included so all you have to do is paste in your
autoresponder address or web form and you are good to go.
Viral marketing is the most cost effective marketing tool we
have. An eBook or eCourse laced with your links inside can end
up in more places than you could dream possible, and of course
reach on your own.
Use viral marketing to its FULLEST and get it pulling for you
and your ebusiness ;o)
