Four Good Reasons to Use Viral
E-books
It is a well known and widely accepted fact, that
E-books….FREE E-books…are one of the best weapons
in a viral marketing campaign arsenal. Here are four good
reasons why this is true today and will continue to be true for the
foreseeable future:
1. E-books are cheap to produce and
don’t take long to set up. If you have articles that you have
already written about the subject you are promoting, you can simply
combine these articles into an E-book. If, on the other hand,
writing isn’t your forte, you can use rebrandable E-books
that have been produced by others. Just use your favorite
search engine and do a web search for “rebrandable
E-books”. You will get a lot of hits and have many
to choose from. One way to distribute these E-books to
visitors to your website is to give them as a free gift for subscribing
to your newsletter. If your E-book contains material that people will
want to share with their friends and family, they will pass it along to
them… they will pass it along to others…and you
will make money.
2. E-books are capable of reaching a
large audience. The only limiting factor is the enthusiasm or
the participants. Therefore, it is absolutely vital that your
E-book contain something that people will want to share like timely
information or humor. Remember that people like to know
something that the rest of the world needs to know. They will pass
along something that makes them look like they are in-the-know.
3. E-books are a way to sell other
products other than the one you originally targeted. For
example; if you are selling garden products, your customers could also
be interesting in E-books about lawns, trees landscaping, etc.
4. E-books are effective in building your
reputation. It is an implied recommendation if you give a quality
E-book and users willing pass on to others.
