There are innumerable ways to use ebooks to
promote your business and drive quality traffic
to your website. Once posted on your site, you
can turn them into a daily course, which brings
your customer back to read the next chapter. You
can use them as a free gift for making a purchase
or for filling out a
survey. Put your ebook on a disc, and you will
have an innovative brochure. Blow your
competition away by inserting the disc into your
sales packages.


The most effective marketing products are those
that are unique. Copyright your ebook, and
immediately, you have a powerful tool that you,
and you alone, can offer to the public. People
will have to visit your site to acquire your
ebook, which increases the flow of quality
traffic and the potential of sales and affiliate
contacts.


Make sure that you keep your ebook current.
Update it frequently as the market and trends
change. Add new advice and techniques to show
your prospects how your goods or services can
enrich their lives. By constantly keeping abreast
of new trends and techniques, you can continue to
see profits from your ebook for years after your
original creation.


Another huge advantage of ebooks is that you can
test their marketing potential without putting
out hardly any cash at all. You can even produce
an ebook one copy at a time, each time you
receive an order, eliminating the need for
storage and inventory. By this method, you can
gauge the saleablity of your ebook, and make
adjustments as necessary until the orders start
pouring in. Ebooks allow you to learn about your
market and customer habits and motivation over a
period of time, without risking your precious
financial resources. They also provide you with
an invaluable way to gather marketing information,
which you can use in many different facets of
your online business.


Use your ebook to discover what the specific
goals and problems are in your specific industry.
Then figure out how to solve these problems, and
publish an ebook with this invaluable information.
This will increase the value of your business,
upgrade your reputation, and get you known as an
expert in your field.


You can extend the value of single ebook by
breaking the book down into chapters for an
online or email course, into special reports
available on your website, or into audio or
visual tapes. Ebooks can be broken down into
several different promotional materials by
excepting some of the articles and using them to
promote your product. You can include a catalog
in your ebook to promote all the products or
services you sell. You can include a thank-you
note for reading your book and an invitation to
download a trial version of your product. Or you
can include a form for your audience to contact
you for further information or with questions,
thereby building your business relationships and
your mailing list.


Using ebooks in this manner helps to cut the cost
of individually producing separate promotional
materials. You can use a single ebook to entice
new prospects and to sell new products to your
current customers.


No other medium has this kind of flexibility and
ability for expansion. Think of your ebook like a
spider spinning a beautiful and intricate web.
Now go and create that web, and see how many
customers and leads you can catch on your web!
