Make Money Online With e-books

Anyone can make an e-book, and lots of people profit by selling hundreds or thousands of copies. Some people can even sell more than that. However, there is only one way to ensure continuing success and profits when selling e-books, and that way is viral marketing. If you can make people talk of your product the way people gossip in a small town, then you will start making money. Here are a few tips to assist you in your endeavour at viral marketing.


You must be aware that word of mouth is a very important advertising strategy, and you need to plan for people to want to talk about your e-book in a positive way. This must be considered in all stages of your planning as it is extremely important. Obviously, if you want people to talk to their family, friends and colleagues about your work you must make sure that it is worth their time and that it is entertaining and interesting.

When you are planning your e-book, you need to consider whether the topic is worth talking about. Depending on your chosen topic, it may be worthwhile making some aspects of the text humorous. As I said before, it must be interesting and worthy of note. People don't generally speak highly of things that bore them stupid.

Consideration of the best way to pass this information on is important. If you plan for your readers to pass on information via some technological means, you also need to make sure that this can be done without difficulty. You may want to search the internet and research how various web sites do this. One technique that is often used is a link for telling friends. This link will allow the current reader to send a standard informative email to the person of their choice.

Of course, people will generally pass information on more willingly if there is some sort of motivation or incentive. I doubt I need to tell you the best incentive…money! If people think that they will be making money, they will certainly be more eager to pass on your information. You might consider using some sort of affiliate program or financial encouragement.

In today's world, technology is forever growing, and you can certainly use this to help you in your latest money making venture. Some of you may need to do some sort of training to bring yourself up-to-date with the latest marketing technology, but you will be amazed at how beneficial it will be. You will be able to find all sorts of programs to automate your viral marketing.

Your e-book needs to be able to maintain itself as much as possible. People will talk to their family, friends or even acquaintances and those people will go and talk to more people until there are no more people to talk to. That is your plan and that is what will start making money for you!
