You NEED E-Books Of Your Own

By Jamie Holt | July 11, 2008 .

Hey there…

Today I wanna be really straight with you… and I’m just gonna be very direct here.

If you aren’t using Adobe Acrobat or some other .pdf creation tool to make your own e-books, then you aren’t working your affiliate business properly. Period. You NEED viral e-books and you need them NOW!!

I know that may seem a bit strong, and I fully appreciate that you can make money online without them.. but as affiliate marketers, or any marketer at all… e-books really are the number one traffic generation method when done properly. I will tell you that my traffic would quite literally cut in half if I didn’t have so many .pdf’s floating around containing my links, I personally have over 3,000 in a wide variety of niches. Each one of them working for me virally as they get shared and passed around between people.

As a result of this passing around, my links get more and more exposure all the time..


Every single time I collect a name and e-mail, regardless of the niche…I offer a .pdf containing some hot content, but more importantly…containing my LINKS. Not so much affiliate links, although they work too.. but links to my sites and blogs.

Viral marketing is so powerful when you do your research properly and provide some real good content that subscribers are compelled to share with others, which in turn generates more traffic again for you and the process repeats with each new owner of the report that you have given away for FREE.

People love free stuff, and if the offering is of value, you have perfect leverage out there working for you.

The trick here is market research beforehand, knowing the deepest wants, needs and desires of your target market allows you to make a .pdf e-book that is just what they are looking for, or with information that is destined to pique their interest and keep them reading…. in turn leading them to YOUR pages.

If you can’t drop the cash for Acrobat just now, take a look around for eWriterPro.. does a splendid job too. But you gotta get one down and start your research, you’re leaving so much on the table without viral reports at your disposal.

For example, one particular report I have out there is one for travel, with this floating around I can consistently drive traffic to an affiliate site of mine that pays high ticket on travel sales across the world for me. Hot, no?

Something to think about for ya…

    Hi Jamie,

    Great post! Been checking your blog lately and you got some great content here, keep it coming :-)

    Couple questions for ya, if it’s ok…

    First of all, how on earth did you write 3000 plus ebooks, that’s insane?

    Second, how do you distribute your viral ebooks, I mean, I’ve tried it before but it was really hard to get them to go viral and spread throughout the net?

    Cheers mate :-)

    Hey Adam..

    Thanks for the comments..

    Now onto your questions dude..

    3,000+e-books is over quite a few years and in tons of different niche’s and markets..I literally research and write an e-book in every market I look into, some of them are 100+ pages, others are 30 page reports, but all of them contain my links which results in a great source of traffic.

    When looking to distribute e-books, I usually check out the webmaster forums, like Warrior, DP and others..they all have free sections for offering material as freebies, provide good content and contribute to discussion..use your sig as a promotional tool for your report. This is the same in any niche, as I outline in my free e-course here, I usually look for a niche forum and then use the forum with my e-book in that niche.

    The key with getting them to go viral is over-delivering, I never worry about giving too much content away, just ensure that you don’t give it away blindly…..always include links to your sites/blogs/platforms in them.

    I hope that helps a little adam

    Peace ;-)

    Wow, dude you must work non-stop, lol, very cool, writing that much content, I wish I had your work ethic ;-)

    Cheers for the advice mate, much appreciated, I think I’ll try distributing some viral ebooks again using your tips and see how it goes :-)

    Thanks
