I'll admit I'm still working on writing my first e-book but have tons of experience as an online researcher. All too often people are ready to jump on the ebook bandwagon using PLR content or ebooks that have resell/master resell rights. I don't know your personal situation, however, I do know what I see.

You have come on the forums asking for help on markeing your ebook. The irony is that your ebook itself is about online marketing. This is not the first time I've seen people try to sell an ebook about online marketing yet they are asking how to market online.

Take TrafficMystic's advice. Use your own advice from your ebook. Keyword marketing is also very helpful. Don't worry about Google Ads and so on. Don't worry about PPC. I personally prefer organic/natural traffic. It has worked well for me in the past (and still is working) on non-commercial websites I have done.

There's a company called SBI (Site Build It). They sell a package for about $399/year. Includes one year hosting, domain, step-by-step info on keywords/natural traffic, and has a great online forum. It's aimed at the average user, advanced user, or even someone that hardly knows anything about the Internet.

The guy that created it, Ken Evoy, also has some free e-books on onlne marketing, affiliate marketing. I'm not talking about 20+ page crappy ebooks. I'm talking about 80-100+ page ebooks. Lots of great content. A few years back I tried out SBI and is where I learned the CTPM (Content > Traffic > Presell > Monetize) concept.

On my website I have the seven ebooks available for download for free. I'll admit firsthand that if you purchase anything through the links in the ebooks it does have my affiliate ID in there. However, if you read, study, and apply what's in the ebooks then you can do everything without having to spend a penny on the SBI service. The SBI service is simply what I call an all-in-one package with support.

The link is:

You can also just go to knownothing.net and it's under the downloads section. You do have to register (free) to download the ebooks. Helps in curbing leaching. No worries about commercialism. My knownothing.net site is a completley free, no advertisements, no sale website. The focus of my website is on consumer advocacy and combating scams.]]> E-junkie Discussions; NickH http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/4205/pg/0#post14870 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/4205/pg/0#post14870 Fri, 9 Jul 2010 09:46:47 GMT have you promoted through social sites, rss feeds, blogs and forums?

If your ebook is on traffic, twitter and social marketing why havnt you used your own techniques?]]> E-junkie Discussions; TrafficMystic http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/4205/pg/0#post14870 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/4205/pg/0#post14870 Sun, 4 Jul 2010 11:51:56 GMT E-junkie Discussions; Cikxn http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/4205/pg/0#post14870 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/4205/pg/0#post14870 Thu, 1 Jul 2010 21:06:46 GMT http://www.e-junkie.com/ej/help.custom.purchase-buttons.htm

For instance, quite a few sellers seem to be "sold" (heh) on the idea of using a "Belcher Button" as explained on that button designer's site:

I would recommend making the part where you sell the product a bit less extraverte and the actual buy part more visable by doing so.

But by all means, I'm a newbie here, please wait for other replies before you do anything!!

EDIT: After re-reading the part about pirating the thing, these kind of e-books are not really pirateable, I think it is therefore better said that I do not really see anyone pay for a book that has such a extraverte lay-out --- Again, please correct me if I'm wrong, I am only a newbie here.]]> E-junkie Discussions; Cikxn http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/4205/pg/0#post14870 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/4205/pg/0#post14870 Fri, 25 Jun 2010 17:16:16 GMT Landro
