5 Deadly Viral Ebook Marketing Mistakes and How to Avoid Them

by: John Hocking
Creating a viral ebook marketing campaign can be one of theeasiest and most effective ways to promote your productor website.Before you begin writing your viral ebook, you needto know the 5 most common mistakes that can cost youtime and potential income.

1) Never Link Directly to Content You Do Not ControlYou should always use redirect links placed on your ownserver instead of direct links to affiliate programs.You never know when the program you are promoting willchange the way its affiliate links work or go out of business. Using redirect links allows you to quicklyreplace the affiliate links with the new version orredirect to a similar product.I can not stress enough how important this step is to you.Once you launch your viral ebook, you can not get it backto make changes to it. Using redirect links will preventdead links and lost profit.

2) Avoid Using Dated Information By Providing Too SpecificDetails.Do not talk about free trials or time specific discounts.The affiliate program you are promoting my not always beoffering the trials or discounts. You will anger your readersif they can not get the bargains you promised.You should also avoid statements like "Just Released" or "Just Launched!". The program you are talking about mayhave been around for years but the time your reader getsyour ebook.

3) Never Include Information You Do Not Want All Over The World.Because of the viral nature of your ebook, it will eventually spread to every corner of the world.If you include personal information like your home phoneor your cell phone number, you may be unpleasantly awakened at all hours of the night. The person in England or Japan, may not be aware you live in United States.It is best to provide only an email address or autoresponderfor the initial contact.

4) Do Not Brand The Ebook YourselfPutting yourself in the position of having to manuallybrand and send each copy of the ebook is a sure way to turn your campaign into NIGHTMARE.You may be thinking, "What's the BIG DEAL?"Let imagine for a moment that your ebook starts out slowlyand only 10 people request a branded version the first week. It takes you about 6 minutes per ebook to brand it and sendit to the user. You have just given up an hour of your life.Now those 10 people each give it away to 10 people thatalso request branded versions. You now have 100 new requestsat 6 minutes each. Now were are talking 60 hours.As you can see with each passing generation, you willquickly become unable or unwilling to fulfill requests.The solution is to give your carriers the ability and instructions to rebrand the ebooks themselves. This willtake you out of the loop and allow your virus to growexponentially unattended.

5) Do Not Forget To Launch A New Window For External Links When linking to any information not found directly inyour ebook, you should always open a new window. Manysales processes use javascript that could cause compatiblyproblems if viewed within your ebook.It would be terrible if a viewer where ready to buy aproduct based on your reccomendation but was unable to because you failed to include this simple step.

Avoiding these 5 simple viral ebook marketing mistakes will greatly increase the profitability of your campaign whileavoiding the pitfalls.

3 Reasons eBook Publishers Need AutoResponders

by: David Hallum
I'll bet you think ebook publishers don't needautoresponders, am I right? Well they do!And here's why...
#1. If you publish more than one ebook,why not make up a list of your titlesand call it a catalog. Then place yourlist on a autoresponder, then you couldtell people to send a blank email to your autoresponder to get your freecatalog via email.
#2. If your ebook is in EXE format, somepeople will be afraid to buy and/ordownload it. You could place a copyof any reviews you have of your ebookon a autoresponder along with a samplechapter. This way people could get a peek at your ebook contents, plus their fears would be eased by knowing that someone else has bought, downloaded and reviewed your ebook.Reason
#3Let's say you use one or both of the above, but still no one buys or downloads your ebook/s. Let me ask you this, "Did you send them afollow-up message?" You do know that most people need see your offer at least 3-5 times before they will make a decision. Don't you?Well now that you know, you will need a autoresponder that can automaticallyfollow-up for you. This way you only need to set it up once then let it do the work for you.I found a company that will not only give you free follow-up autoresponders, they will alsopay you to help them give them away.Here are some of the features they offer:
*Instant, reliable delivery (in only 10 to 30 seconds!)
*Unlimited, reliable follow ups (up to 5, even 10 times!)
*Unlimited message length
*Unlimited message changes
*Control Panel Interface is easy and simple
*Powerful personalization features
*Database of your prospects' e-mail addresses
*Powerful mailing list management features
*AOL and WebTV friendly
Let's see your prospects' request your information via e-mail and they get it in a matter of seconds. Then their names and e-mail addresses will be added to your database and then the system schedules delivery of the next follow up messages (at a time you decide on forthe next follow-up message to go out) all automatically.
This is a completely FREE service and very easy to set up. After you're done setting it up, your ebook marketing machine will be working for you 24-7. Still thinkebook publishers don't need autoresponders?
