Free Ebooks, Free Software, Free Design & Marketing Resources!
 

=====================
1) The Buzz About Ebooks
=====================
 

What's all the buzz about Ebooks, and where do you fit in? 

  • You can publish & sell your own Ebook for profit
  • You can publish & give away your own Ebook for Marketing purposes
  • You can resell Ebooks for commission
  • You can give away Ebooks that contain your affiliate links  

Publishing Your Own Ebook for Profit 

Choose your topic either by your area of expertise, or by selecting a specific market and targeting their needs. I highly recommend this Free Download, which will cover everything from Research to Sales: 

Ebooks: A Complete Guide to Self-Publishing

http://www.webservicenetwork.com/ebooks/SelfPublishing.htm  

Once you have read through the above resource, and are ready to design & compile your own Ebook, you will need two (possibly three) pieces of software: 

I use & recommend Ebook Starter (excellent program!):

I also use & recommend eBook Edit Pro:

In addition, you may want to create PDF-format Ebooks. Instant FREE Download:

An easy way to accept credit card payments, and set up your own Affiliate Program, is through ClickBank. If you don’t already have an account with them, Click Here To Sign Up . 

 

Publishing Your Own Ebook To Give Away 

Why in the world would you want to Give Away something you worked so hard to publish? Good question! There’s no better way to get people’s attention than to give them something for FREE! The better your content, the better it will work for you as an explosive Marketing tool.  

You’ll want to read Shelley Lowery’s article: 

How to Create a Viral Marketing Ebook
http://www.webservicenetwork.com/articles/ViralMarketingEbook.htm
 

Obviously, once you’re convinced this is the Marketing Tactic for you, you’ll want to review the resources mentioned above for creating & compiling your Ebook. 

 

Reselling Ebooks For Commission 

There are some excellent titles already written that would highly compliment your website’s content – why not add value to your website by offering these titles to your visitors, and make a commission on each sale? This is very easy to do, as most Ebook affiliate programs offer you pre-made advertisements and articles to use. It’s as simple as Copy, Paste & Cash a Check! ClickBank is a great place to search for Ebook affiliate programs. If you don’t already have a free account with them, Click Here To Sign Up Now . You can also do a search at Google.com using “ebook+affiliate” (without the quotes) as your keyword. 

  • There are also many Ebooks and Ebook Packages that offer complete Reseller Rights upon purchase. You are allowed to resell the Ebook(s) as many times over as you wish, keeping 100% of the sales price. See section three (below) – “What You Can Get For $5”  
     

 
Giving Away Ebooks To Increase Affiliate Sales
 

Many sites are now offering “Branded Ebooks” that you can Give Away freely on your website or in your newsletter. Branded means that the ebook contains your affiliate link to the sites/products that are promoted within. You will want to look for these opportunities on websites that offer relevant and complimentary content or products/services.  

A great example is The Absolute Beginner's Guide to Starting a Web Site by Milana Nastetskaya, found on my Archives page: http://www.selfstartersweeklytips.com . Since I write on the topic of “do-it-yourself web tips”, this is a perfect compliment to my content. If someone chooses to purchase Milana’s products/services after reading her Ebook, I would then make commission on that purchase. If not, I have provided valuable information to my subscribers and site visitors, and they have received a valuable resource for free. It’s a win/win/win situation ;)
