Free ebook websites have been around for a long time and dominate almost every niche imaginable. A question that I received in my website consulting business is whether ebooks can help you generate a full-time income online. And, do you need an ebook to constitute reputable affiliate programs.
In the early days of internet marketing and information marketing, it was easy to find success stories about men and women who had marketed their digital ebooks and made a killing in terms of sales and revenue.
Nowadays, it takes much more than hosting a free ebook website to earn a substantial living online and to increase your website traffic.
Current Trends (that seem to work!)
Can you imagine giving away your products for free?
That's what it takes now to help build a following.
Giving away a front end product in the form of a video, an ebook, or even a cd or dvd is helping the most successful internet marketers to add to their email lists.
Why is that so important?
Building your list is crucial because not everyone is going to purchase something the very first time they hear from you. And, because of that fact, you want to make sure that they hear from you again.
Also, it's important to understand that it should be your goal to sell your audience more than just one product or service over time.
In the past, the ebook was the first and last product option normally introduced and sold.
Now, that free front end product is the key element in introducing your audience to several "upsells".
These upsells can be in the form of home study courses, short-term membership sites, long-term membership sites, mastermind groups, one-on-one coaching, and even done for you products and services.
You'll also find that many of the reputable affiliate programs offer 100% commissions on their front end products as it encourages support by their affiliate team, increasing traffic to their squeeze pages, and increasing the number of people opting-in, and thus purchasing one of the many product or service options presented thereafter.
Your Next Step...
If you've already created an ebook, you might consider using it as an ethical bribe on a squeeze page, enticing people to opt-in in order to receive your valuable information all while being added to your list.
While your email list is growing, you may either turn your focus to supporting an affiliate program of another marketer in your niche, or concentrate on developing your own upsell products and services.
