Here is a listing of resources that you can use to market and/or sell your e-books online. Joe shared these resources with me today, so I haven’t had a chance to explore their use yet, but most of them let you list your e-book for free in exchange for a simple link swap…

eLibrary – Open Ebooks Directory – includes most of the ebooks sold on the internet. Free for addition of one’s own ebooks.

Listing Of More Directories – This listing is very concise, showing you which resources are good, those that are conditional and others that aren’t worth the time or effort.

Here are two more strategies to utilize…

1.) Create free reports, in .pdf format, that you can give away as free incentives. Once you have created the incentive, upload it to your web host and then create a blog post that links directly to it. This works especially well for generating sign ups into various advertising resources (safe lists, text ad exchanges, etc.) You could also use this strategy to give away a companion set (.pdf and how to video) where you drive traffic through the .pdf and require an opt-in (at the end of the .pdf) to view the video.

2.) Use the free .pdf reports to build your mailing list. Nothing will get people to take action faster than the answers to their questions and the solutions to their problems. When you become a problem solver, using .pdf generated information, people will gladly opt-in to your mailing list to find the resolution they seek. Create your reports to specifically target your niche market. Don’t use the reports to sell your business opportunity, products or services, use it to give incredible value to sell and brand yourself. If you are selling a weight loss product or opportunity, for example, then create a .pdf that offers information on weight loss. Something as simple as a listing of 10 resources online that offer information on losing 10 pounds in 10 days (for example) will do the trick!

The same thing applies to those who are targeting Internet marketers. DO NOT target Internet marketers with your business opportunities, it does not work. Target Internet marketers with information that will HELP THEM build their business FIRST! Share advertising strategies, list building techniques or anything else you’ve learned that can benefit another…

“Internet Marketing is the art and science of empowering, communicating and building a relationship with another human being based on their wants and needs, not mine or yours.” V. Smyth

Cheers!
