Sales Tips and Marketing Strategies

The first step in generating targeted traffic

Start a thread on different forums and other social networks and leave a link to your free E-book in your signature file for other members to see. Post a short article on your blog and encourage visitors to leave a comment. Mention your E-book when you leave well thought out comments on other relevant blogs related to your niche. Also use social bookmarking sites to spread the word about your blog post on your E-book.

There are many free membership sites that you can join that will let you create banner ads and graphics. Put these on your website; also try exchanging ads with other webmasters and blog owners. This will be sure to drive free targeted traffic to you site. To further increase the affect of viral marketing offer to let people put ads in your E-book with the condition they give it away to their visitors or subscribers on their list.

Writing articles that are relevant to your niche or service you provide. Pre approving reprint rights lets visitors immediately use your articles without wasting time on getting permission from the author. This will enable them to use your articles right away on their blog, website, or perhaps a newsletter they send out to their list with the condition the resource box stays intact.

Finding E-books to rebrand on the internet is relatively simple. Some owners may give out their E-book with the condition you leave some of their links intact, others may give full license to rewrite or put yourself as the author but these licenses usually come with a cost. Try to find products that provide “branding rights”. That is where you can include your own name, website, and contact information.

Those of us who regularly shop on line are familiar with the array of free gifts, free bonuses and just plain freebies that are offered to a visitor to a website to encourage them to buy. How could you collect, select and offer free gifts, which will be valued as much as the original merchandise that is being purchased, put these gifts together and add them to your E-book? There are just three steps to do that very thing. They are:

1. Identify your key words in each chapter of your E-book. Now, type those words into your favorite search engine. You are looking for free E-books on the same subject in more depth, by a greater expert than you are, or by someone who gives a new and fresh angle to the topic. Add a link to the free E-book in each chapter of your E-book.

2. Research the Internet for related free gifts. Now you are looking for things that you could give as free gifts in your E-book that will make it more appealing and give it more pass-along appeal to your readers. For example: If you are selling gardening supplies, find a planting guide on the web that can be downloaded and include that as a gift in your E-book.

Here are six ideas to help you start your viral marketing campaign:
