Viral Marketing Ideas for Your Ebook
1. Write a compelling, easy to read and/or a controversial ebook. The ebook must, most importantly, be a resource which adds value to it's readers either professionally or personally. This will ensure that your ebook will become popular through word-of-mouth advertising and not result in a flop. Be creative with the elements of your ebook, providing not only links to products, but also links to surveys, video tutorials, your newsletter and perhaps even to a bulletin board you've created for folks to discuss your ebook's components. The possibilities indeed are limitless, so let your creative juices flow. Just be cautious not to overdo it and come across as "spammy". All links in your ebook should flow with the other content and benefit your readers.
2. Locate affiliates to promote your ebook. Don't try to go at it by yourself! Offer them a generous commission and turn 'em loose. Supply your affiliates with a clear marketing plan and a wealth of tools such as articles, ezine letters, banner ads, forum signatures, etc. Many internet marketers don't really know how to promote products, so do a little extra work up front to ensure your affiliates are equipped and motivated to sell your ebook.
3. Promote your ebook like crazy via article marketing, your list, bulletin boards, classified ads, ezines, video sites, etc. There are literally hundreds of ways to promote your ebook, so implement the ones which you feel will be the most effective and make the best use of your valuable time and resources.
Producing and promoting ebooks is rewarding and can be extremely profitable. Taking the time to plan a good promotional strategy will ensure that your well written and valuable ebook becomes an unstoppable viral beast!
