Affiliate Marketing Tip – Write A Free Ebook


Writing a free ebook is a great way to sell more affiliate products. 
The ebook can work for you in two different ways and I encourage you to use both methods in each free ebook you write. 

The first way is to promote affiliate links directly in your ebook where appropriate. You can casually mention a product in the body of a particular chapter, review a product as part of your ebook, or add an “Additional Resources” section to the end of the book. 



The second way is to link to your content site from your ebook. You can offer additional information on the site or link to a review page. By sending your readers to your website you get the chance to expose them to additional affiliate products and have the opportunity to get them on your newsletter list. 

Let’s take a look at how you can get started on your first ebook.
 Find a topic that you are fairly knowledgeable about and come up with an overall theme for the book. What are people looking for on the particular topic? For example, parents of infants will be interested in tips and strategies to get their baby to sleep through the night. A mom looking for a work at home job may be interested in how to spot a work at home scam and where to look for legitimate jobs. 


Come up with an outline, or group some related articles you have written on a particular topic. Now all you have to do is flesh it out a little bit and of course incorporate your affiliate links. An ebook typically consists of at least 25 pages. That may sound like a lot, but you should keep your font size fairly large to make it easier to read on a computer screen. 

Let’s talk about format for a moment.
 You can purchase software to create an ebook, or you can make it a PDF document. PDF documents will work on just about any computer and people are comfortable downloading them. I usually write my ebooks in Microsoft Word, format it in there, add any pictures or graphics and then turn it into a PFD. You can either do this with Microsoft Acrobat, or use one of the free PDF creation services on the web. 

Your next step will be to get the ebook circulating. After all you are not going to make any affiliate sales if no one reads your book. You can offer it as a free download on your site or give it away as a bonus for subscribing to your newsletter. I also like to add a note in the footer of each page that the reader is welcome to pass the book along to others who might be interested in the topic. 

Offer the ebook as a free giveaway to other website owners and post it on the free ebook directories. Then sit back and watch the book do the work for you. After a few weeks you should see the affiliate sales come in. Time to move on to another book.

Making Money with Articles PARTE - 1

Making Money with Articles: Article Directories Article directories are websites that house free articles. These articles are usually put there by whoever owns the copyright to them as a promotion method. Each article has the owners byline placed under it so that those who eventually read the article will know who wrote it (or at least who owns it) and will be able to get in contact with or visit their website for further information. Articles directories are a great place to put your articles so that they will make you money. By using this method, people who are interested in your product or service will see your article, view you as an expert in the subject, and will visit your website. Even if you cannot write or do not have any knowledge on the subject on which you are promoting (for example for you run an affiliate website), you can always hire a writer to do the work for you. Getting quality articles written will be expensive up front, but they will pay for themselves in

Tips for Promoting your Home Business Idea or Opportunity

By Jimmie Sypolt From the beginning of commerce, businesses have been promoting the ideas and products of other businesses as a way to make their own business a successful one.   For example, you may see that a real-estate company may promote a particular lawyer in order to close a sale while that lawyer will also promote that real estate company in his firm.   Everyone has heard of the barter system and may have thought that this system is outdated and is not used anymore.  However, with modern technology, the barter system is still alive.  People still trade services and items rather than using money.  The business of Internet marketing is proof that the barter system is still alive.   In the Internet Marketing world, we call this new form of the barter system, cross promoting.  This system is in place to trade of advertising space.  Advertising companies in the past have charged top dollar for premium advertising space on the most prominent bill boards or a radio station
