Do you know you can make money simply by sharing a free ebook? Do you know that it does take commitment, time, money and effort to build a business? How do you make money by sharing free ebooks?
To do any business you must understand the process of doing it and more importantly why you want to do it? It is not the how it is always the why? Why do you want to start a business? You must be very clear on your purpose, you must have a compelling reason to do it!
Why would people want to read your free ebook? What is the benefit? How is this free ebook going to help them? What is the title of your free ebook? You've heard it many times, the headline makes a world of difference between success and failure. What if the title of the book is "How To Be Happy, Healthy and Wealthy!" Would that title attract attention? How many people do you know want to be happy, healthy and wealthy?Your free ebook must promise great benefits and the rewards must be attractive enough for people to take action and do what you tell them to do. What if the ebook tells them they can make $300 to $1,000 a month simply by sharing the free ebook that they are reading now and there is a great reward of $1,250,000 for them when they really work hard enough for it!
Do you have a sizzling or irresistible offer? Is it simple to do? Is it duplicatable, can your friends do it too? What if the free ebook has a link to your business and everytime someone reads the free ebook and decided to do this simple business, he clicks the link to register and he becomes your business associate and you will earn a part of his business, and wouldn't he be excited if he knows he can do the same thing too? He will have the right to change your link into his link and start the viral marketing process by sharing his free ebook with his loved ones, relatives and friends. It is a brilliant idea, isn't it?
Can you share 100 or 1,000 free ebooks? Of course, you can, there is no limit to how many ebooks you can share and the Law of Averages will never let you down. Out of the 100 ebooks you shared maybe about 10 will take action to do the same and when you have 10 people sending out 100 ebooks, you will have 1,000 free ebooks circulating and this will grow exponentially to 10,000 and 100,000 as people get excited about this simple business opportunity to make money simply by sharing this free ebook!
Can you simply learn and earn $300 to $1,000 a month by sharing this free ebook? Yes, you can, because the business opportunity offered in this free ebook has a very low start-up cost and a very low monthly operating cost: US$30 a month, it is duplicatable!
What must you ask about a business? What is the start up cost? What is the break-even time? and What is the return on investment? Would you be shocked if I tell you it can be as high as 5,000% That means for a monthly investment of US$30, you can get a return of US$1,500 a month! Is it going to happen in a week or a month, of course not! It may take 6 months, 12 months or even 24 months to achieve it. But along the way you may be able to earn a few hundreds a month which is still much more than your monthly operating cost of US$30 a month.
Why viral marketing works and chain letters doesn't? It is the element of trust, belief and commitment. Abraham Lincoln said it so well that you can fool all the people some time but you cannot fool all the people all the time! People are afraid of sending emails to friends offering things that give false promises and exaggerated claims. They know the numbers will not work if people do not do what they are supposed to do. What makes viral marketing effective, is the emotional element when people get excited and tell themselves I must do this and help my friends to benefit from it too!
Will the free ebook add value to people's lives? Is there a system to track it and a support system for those who need help along the way? Is there real value offered? Is the instruction so simple that even a child can do it? If it is a product that people are already sold on it and understand the benefits, you got a winner in your hands!
Can you imagine yourself receiving a free ebook that offers you an opportunity to help others and make money at the same time with little time, cost and effort. You simply invest a little money, send out the free ebooks, as many as you want, preferably 100 ebooks at least and let the Law of Averages take care of it for you. If you can share a free ebook a day, you would have shared 365 free ebooks!

If these are not your forte, you may consider writing on a topic you know well. This can sometimes mean making less profit if the topic is not as popular, but it will not damage your credibility as it would if you wrote a poor book on a topic with which you are not familiar.

It is important to have a site which ranks high in search engine returns. Since there are so many eBooks out there, getting a site that ranks high can be difficult. Writing for a less popular topic may help increase your hits from search engines. You also need a way to sell the eBooks. Writing them is only part of the process.

Basic Search Engine Promotion
I can't tell you how many times people have asked me, "How to do I get my site to come up in the top ten of the search engines so I can get hits and sell my product?"
What they really want to know is, "How can I get people to show up to my website without spending any money on advertising my site!"People usually don't like my answer because accomplishing a "top ten ranking" on any search engine always requires careful thought along with a significant amount of work.
Three types of "Search engines" abound on the Internet. They include true search engines, directories, and links pages.At last count approximately 10,000 sites referred to themselves as search engines, though only about a dozen sites rate your attention since they drive 97% of theInternet's search traffic.
These sites includeGoogle, Yahoo!, Overture, MSN, AltaVista, AllTheWeb, Lycos, DMOZ, and a few others.When a visitor logs onto a search engine looking for information, they enter "keywords" about the subject in hopes of obtaining a list of relevant websites.
Each search engine or directory operates with its own rules about judging a site's relevancy to a keyword search.They look at text on the web page (body text) as well as words you can't see which reside in the actual code of the web pages.This code includes such things as alt tags, title tags, and others. Depending on the search engine, what you can't see may represent a far more important part of ranking well than the words appearing on the page.Search engines look at how many times a keyword shows up in the various parts of your website as well as actual location on the page.
Assuming that an important subject for your pages would appear at the beginning of a page, those web pages startingwith the keyword should rank better than those that don't.Also, in many cases, the more websites linking to your site will drastically impact your rankings.
Entire books and websites exist to teach eager website owners how to pump up their rankings on all the various search engines, however these promotion tips will serve you well in your quest for the "Top Ten!"
** See what others have done for maximum exposure!
Go to the various search engines and perform a search under
which you would like to appear.
Dissect those pages to find
the common elements that make them show up.
~ How often and where do the keywords appear on the page?
~ How many words on the page in total?
~ Do they put keywords in their hypertext links?
~ How many other sites link to them and could you easily get
a link from those sites too?
** Beware of registration vs. promotion
Plenty of companies will "register" your website with
thousands of search engines for about $50-$100.
But simply submitting to the search engines won't do much
for you. Without the proper structure in your website, only
sheer luck will cause your site to pop up in the top ten!

Cool New Search Engine On The Block
If you log on to PayPerClickSearchEngines.com you'll find they list over 600 different pay-per-click search engines operating online.
In fact, some online sources report that over 1,000 "search engines" of various size and popularity operate in the U.S. alone.
With so much competition among sites to capture the search traffic that Google.com and Yahoo.com seem to dominate like 800 lb. Gorillas, why would one new search engine rate even a second glance?
The answer: Amazon, the Web's mega bookstore, launched a new search engine with a very user-friendly interface and some of the fastest, most relevant searches online... along with a **twist** that will help EVERY person who wants to sell ebooks for profit, publish articles to get traffic, or create special reports that go viral.
Here's the story...
Amazon recently launched www.A9.com -- a search engine that creates more of a "portal" experience than the traditional search engine where you input your search terms, click a button, and pray something relevant to your search appears in the results.
When you first log on to A9.com, it looks like a traditional search engine, but once you start searching, you'll find an organized and extremely helpful set of search tools right at your fingertips.
A9.com organizes its search criteria by category on the right side of the page.
Input a search term such as "mortgage loan" or "George Washington" and you'll start to see why I like this search engine so much.
When you first input your search term, the website displays the "web" search results to show you various websites A9.com deems relevant to your search.
Click the "books" button on the right and get a list of the most relevant books available on Amazon.com.
Follow virtually any of those book links to the Amazon website and you can literally browse through the table of contents, first chapter, and even the index of most books.
Click on the "Movies" button and get a list of any relevant movies with your search terms included.
One of the helpful things you'll notice as you start searching different types of media is that you can show or hide various search results on the same page.
So if you only want to search books and movies, you can hide the Web and reference results.
Depending on the type of information you need to research, you can also use the "Reference" results to get dictionary, encyclopedia, and history information on the search terms you entered.
Needless to say, when I did a search for "George Washington," this reference section overflowed with relevant links and information.
However, I was surprised at just how much reference material was available for search terms like "mortgage," including information from Investopedia.com on alternative search terms to help me narrow my search for more relevant information.
Probably the biggest reason I like A9.com so much is that it helps to wade through the ever rising tide of information that threatens to drown us all online.
Depending on what you need to find, you can quickly get suggestions, reference material, physical books, and even information on available film and video without leaving the A9.com website.
Now, here's specifically how A9.com can help anyone who wants to publish their own ebooks, articles, or special reports.
#1 - Insert your main search term at A9.com and look at 2 things: total web results (higher number the better) and the books and movies tabs.
If you see a lot of web results and tons of books and movies on the subject, you have a VERY good (and fast) indication that the topic you're considering is "hot" enough to warrant more investigation for creating your own ebook, special report, or other info-product.
#2 - Follow the look links to specific listings on Amazon. Some of those books will allow you to go through the table of contents, first chapter, and index right there on your screen.
Use this opportunity to:
A. Make notes on the most important points on your topic (from the table of contents) and expand your list of potential points to cover.
B. Get a feel for the general topic and the typical way authors are currently approaching it (first chapter).
** By the way, the table of contents and / or first chapter will usually give you at least one great idea for an article you could create (or pay someone to create) and use to generate traffic to your website.
C. Look for additional keywords you could use for your pay-per-click campaigns as well as your headlines, bullets, and other classified ads (in the index).
#3 - Use the "Reference" tab on A9.com to access the dictionary, thesaurus, and other tools to find MORE keywords you can use to advertise on pay-per-click search engines... specific "niche" keywords many of your competitors probably aren't using.
Though nothing on A9.com is actually new, it does present a much faster and easier way to search the web, compare reults, gather marketing intelligence, and wade through available data to help you with your own ebooks, special reports, article writing, and other marketing activities.

3 Fastest Ways To Get Traffic To Any Website
After all the debate over website design, shopping carts
and credit card processors, every website owner eventually
comes to the startling realization that they need one more
thing to survive - website traffic!
Without website traffic it's the same as building an
expensive billboard and, instead of placing it alongside a
busy highway, hiding it in your *basement* where nobody can
see it.
Upon realizing they need traffic, most website owners run
out and start blowing chunks of money and time trying to
get "hits," but they fail to grasp that there are really
only three (3) reliable ways to get traffic to any website.
Method #1 - Buy Traffic
Currently, the fastest way to get traffic to any website
involves using the little classified ads on the right side
of search giant Google's results pages.
Called Google AdWords, the system allows any advertiser to
open an account with$5 activation fee and start seeing
their ads appear on Google within about 15 minutes.
Advertisers only pay when visitors actually click through
from their ad on Google to their website or affiliate link.
Overture.com also sells traffic by the click, but they make
you wait three to five days to go through their editorial
review process before allowing ads to appear on their
network.
You can also buy advertising on dozens of other pay-per-
click search engines.
They all follow the same basic model of only charging
advertisers for targeted visitors who read an ad based on a
keyword search and decide to click through for more
information.
Log on to www.payperclicksearchengines.com for a list of
over 600 choices ranked by market penetration.
A word to the wise on pay-per-click advertising: Watch your
costs and track and measure everything. Even though you can
get traffic for as little as a penny, you should track your
results by search engine and by individual keyword if you
want maximum success.
Many a company has lost its entire advertising budget
paying only a nickel or a dime per click, but not watching
their conversion rates and pouring money into keywords that
don't convert... while neglecting the keywords that do
bring sales (mainly because they don't know which is
which!).
Method #2 - Borrow Traffic
If you need traffic to a website, then borrow it from
people who already have it... especially people with lists
of loyal subscribers or traffic from search engines,
affiliates, or other steady sources.
"Endorsed Mailings" and "Reciprocal Linking" by other
people represent the two fastest ways to borrow someone
else's traffic.
If they maintain a list of subscribers, convince them to
send an email out to their people telling them why they
should check out your site.
Also, negotiate a prominent link on their web pages to
siphon off targeted visitors who find their website.
Often the best way to persuade someone to do this involves
paying them a commission, agreeing to do a similar mailing,
or providing a link to them on your site (or a combination
of all three).
Imagine how much traffic you could get if someone with a
list of 10,000 loyal subscribers told their people to go
look at your website!
Method #3 Recycle Traffic
The most economical way to get traffic involves turning
one-time visitors into regular, repeat visitors that you
direct to multiple sites over time.
You do this by pulling website visitors into your sphere of
influence by enticing them to sign up for your newsletter,
autoresponder sequence, or "mini-course."
Then you keep in contact with regular articles, special
reports, and recommendations enticing them to visit your
own and other people's websites.
Ultimately, every website owner should orient all of their
marketing efforts towards this end of developing a stream
of recycled traffic, because it costs the least and creates
the best return on time and money invested.
It doesn't matter if you promote your own product, promote
only as an affiliate, or some combination of the two... if
you don't recycle traffic and get more than one hit out of
each visitor, you're making one of the biggest mistakes
anyone can make online.

and credit card processors, every website owner eventually
comes to the startling realization that they need one more
thing to survive - website traffic!
Without website traffic it's the same as building an
expensive billboard and, instead of placing it alongside a
busy highway, hiding it in your *basement* where nobody can
see it.
Upon realizing they need traffic, most website owners run
out and start blowing chunks of money and time trying to
get "hits," but they fail to grasp that there are really
only three (3) reliable ways to get traffic to any website.
Method #1 - Buy Traffic
Currently, the fastest way to get traffic to any website
involves using the little classified ads on the right side
of search giant Google's results pages.
Called Google AdWords, the system allows any advertiser to
open an account with$5 activation fee and start seeing
their ads appear on Google within about 15 minutes.
Advertisers only pay when visitors actually click through
from their ad on Google to their website or affiliate link.
Overture.com also sells traffic by the click, but they make
you wait three to five days to go through their editorial
review process before allowing ads to appear on their
network.
You can also buy advertising on dozens of other pay-per-
click search engines.
They all follow the same basic model of only charging
advertisers for targeted visitors who read an ad based on a
keyword search and decide to click through for more
information.
Log on to www.payperclicksearchengines.com for a list of
over 600 choices ranked by market penetration.
A word to the wise on pay-per-click advertising: Watch your
costs and track and measure everything. Even though you can
get traffic for as little as a penny, you should track your
results by search engine and by individual keyword if you
want maximum success.
Many a company has lost its entire advertising budget
paying only a nickel or a dime per click, but not watching
their conversion rates and pouring money into keywords that
don't convert... while neglecting the keywords that do
bring sales (mainly because they don't know which is
which!).
