E-books and affiliate programs

Some eBooks combine well with an affiliate program. When the affiliate receives some additional benefit from promoting a viral message, such as the ability to brand your eBook through their affiliate links, the affiliate makes a sale when the reader purchases through a branded link. You benefit from increased traffic to your website because the affiliate wants to promote eBooks to you.

Make sure your message includes a clear call to action. There should be no doubt at all about what you intend the recipients to do. Make sure the instructions are crystal clear so recipients know how to proceed. The procedure you need should also be simple and clear. Don't make things complicated or it will confuse the reader, such as adding too many links.

Remember the kiss. The principle of keeping it simple is stupid! The incentive must be clear to those you want to take action. Readers will look at your presentation for about seven seconds before moving on. If it takes longer than that for them to figure out what you want them to do, they'll move on. Don't make your message vague or difficult to understand. If you do, you will probably lose them. You must respect your readers enough to express your message clearly.

Once you are sure you have an eBook that will be valuable to an affiliate program, approach them with your idea and be able to show that it will be mutually beneficial.

Viral marketing with eBooks is one of many techniques that all have a cumulative effect in attracting customers and subscribers to your business and in attracting targeted visitors to your website. You will soon discover that this is an excellent way to increase sales, subscribers and referrals.
