Never Ever Buy Another Info Product Again
Are you aware that every info product you have bought is compiled of info you can find for free online?
That’s correct! You are essentially paying for free information. It’s true that you may find the odd tibit or secret that has been proven through an internet marketers testing. Mostly though, the ebook or audio course is old info.
Think about it! Tell me something that you have read in an ebook that hasn’t been written about online – on webpages and blogs.
Don’t get me wrong! I still buy ebooks myself and will continue to do so but don’t think for one minute that the information therein is new.
What you and I are paying for is the packaging and most times we are buying because someone else has told us that this particular ebook is going to change our lives. The sales copy draws us in and compels us to buy. We are sold on an idea. The emotion that drives us is a ‘want’ for something better. The illusion that we can get this through buying this persons’ product has won over again – even if this is the 100th time you have purchased with no results.
So where do you find this free info?
One of the best places to find it in online discussions forums. There is a place called the Warrior forum where many top internet marketers hang out. They frequently drop their ’secrets’ there. After all, they want the world to know how bright they are. If you do a Google search for internet marketing forums you will find many.
Another area to look for free info is on the blogs of internet marketers. Again, human nature dictates that we find it hard to hold back when we have an audience. So take advantage of this failing, spy on their blogs and other free online publications.
Article databases are filled with articles revealing every internet marketing strategy that has ever been thought of. Use the ’search’ function at these databases to check out your particular area of interest.
Did you know that internet marketers frequently give away their stuff for free? If you visit any of the top marketers sites you are sure to pick up a freebie. Of course the free course is designed to entice you to buy their other products but now that you know this you won’t feel so driven to buy – not!
Now that I have just revealed how you can indeed get started and continue your business without buying any info products, anyone reading this is going to take notice and do their own research, right? Wrong! 99% of you will still keep buying and continue to blame crappy products and unimaginative internet marketers for your lack of success.
99% of you will continue to buy the illusion because the reality that you may have to do some work is just too scary to imagine.

Deciding a Subject Matter for Your EBook
This will be the hardest part of this process. The ability to write does not come naturally to most people. Due to this, we are often overwhelmed by the anxiety to write even the simplest of things. The best way to conquer this fear is to simply face it and get writing. To this end, I will discuss several tips that will help you to write your own material.
The subject you write about often determines how much you fear writing. If you are unsure about a topic, or do not simply know anything about the topic, and then you become more and more anxious trying to write about it.
The first thing we will do is break down the process into smaller parts this will help considerably during your writing. By breaking the process down, we can look at one section, work through it, and then move on to the next. This allows us to build upon each smaller success to form a larger overall bigger success.
So what are the steps involved.
Well, before you can write about something, you simply must know what that something is going to be. In other words, you have to have a subject to write about. Well, as I said earlier, we are tying to make this easier on you, so you will want to start with a topic that you are familiar with. Something you already know very well.
The topic you choose should come naturally to you. It should be something that you know very well, may have studied before, or have been doing for years, The more you know about the topic, the more you will be able o write about it.
Once you have a topic in mind, then make a list of thins that you know about that topic. This list should be as clearly defined as you can make it.
For example, say we are going to write a book on how to photograph squirrels in your backyard, we might start with a list similar to the one below:
Types of cameras for the best shot
How to get squirrels to come to you
The best background to use for subject
How to get closer without buy inexpensive lenses
These are just a few ideas. Try to make this list as long as you can. Cover any details that might be needed to complete the task that is being covered. You do not want to leave out any critical or important steps. As this will only cause confusion and frustration for the reader.
Now that you have your subject matter, and hopefully a list of potential sub topics, you will need to get started on writing the main content of your book. To do this, simply write a few paragraphs about the topic sub category. The length of each sub-topic should be between 500-700 words, If you think the topic will need more space then that, then consider breaking it down into two or more separate sub-topics. You want to make sure that your sub sections are as concise as possible.
The next step is an important one. That is editing and proofreading your material. Make sure that you spend some time making corrections and re-reading your material for clarity. If you’re not that sure about it, then let someone else read it. Make sure that they give you an honest opinion, as you are trying to provide a high-quality product.
Once your product has been proofed, and you are satisfied with it, you can move on to marketing and selling your product.

Drive Massive Traffic to Your Site With Ebooks
If you’re looking for a great way to drive traffic to your web site, creating and distributing free ebooks may be your answer.
Although there are several different types of ebooks, this article will focus on HTML compiled ebooks.
Ebooks or electronic books are compressed files of HTML that are distributed and presented within one downloadable file. This file does not require any installation and will open on your readers desktop simply by clicking on it.
Ebooks are completely interactive with the Internet and can contain just about everything a standard web page contains, such s live links, graphics, forms, JavaScript, and video. They can also be protected with a username and password and can be prevented from being passed around by only displaying on one computer.
What’s more, you can even create a shareware version of your ebook that will either expire at a specified time, or only allow your potential customers to view certain pages and prompt them to purchase the full version.
Another great feature ebooks provide is the ability to create special fields within your ebook that can be changed by your readers if you so choose. This provides a great way to create promotional ebooks for your affiliates and allow them to include their own affiliate ID.
The possibilities are endless!
Please note: If you would like to create an ebook with any of the above features, not all ebook software programs offer these features. Please ensure you select an ebook software that will meet your needs.
Creating an Ebook to Use as a Viral Marketing Tool
Although ebooks make great products that you can sell online, they also make great marketing tools.
Offering a quality free ebook on your web site is a great way to get your visitors to come back to your web site and obtain repeat traffic.
This can be accomplished by including links to further information on your web site within your ebook and providing your readers with special offers.
Writing Your Ebook
The key to writing an effective free ebook is to select a subject that will be of interest to your target market. If your web site focuses on web site traffic, you may want to write an ebook on generating traffic.
For example, you could write an ebook, such as, “A Complete ‘How To’ Guide to Generating Massive Traffic to Your Site.” Include several references to your site throughout your ebook, such as ‘For even more great traffic generating tips, visit ‘Traffic Tips’ – Your complete source for generating massive traffic to your web site.
Increasing the Distribution of Your Ebook
Although giving your ebook to your visitors and obtaining repeat traffic is a good marketing strategy, allowing your visitors to distribute your ebook is a great strategy.
If your ebook is good, here is an example of how powerful your ebook can be:
10 of your visitors download your ebook.
Your 10 visitors each give away 10 ebooks – 100
Those 100 each give away 10 ebooks – 1000
Those 1000 each give away 10 ebooks – 10,000
Those 10,000 each give away 10 ebooks – 100,000
Those 100,000 each give away 10 ebooks – 1,000,000
For massive distribution, make sure you include a short paragraph on your main page in regard to your copyrights and distribution. For example, if you’re allowing your ebook to be freely distributed, let your readers know by giving them permission. Your text might look something like this:
This ebook may be freely distributed, used as a free bonus with any products you may be selling, included within membership sites and packages, and used as an incentive to gain new subscribers to your publication.
The key to using this technique effectively is to create a quality ebook that contains powerful information that will be of interest to your target market – not just any information, but information that your target market will be absolutely passionate about. Information that they would pay for and are just dying to get their hands on!
Please keep in mind, you can’t write a cheap little ebook of little or no value, filled with ads, and expect it to be successful. Your ebook must be good enough to actually sell to be good enough to use as a viral marketing tool.
Ebooks can provide Internet marketers with one of the best viral marketing tools online. By creating a small, quality ebook that contains in-demand information, you can produce an on going promotional tool that will work 24 hours a day, seven days a week for years to come. Your ebook will have the potential to be viewed by millions of Internet users simply by giving it away.

Attract Opt-In Subscribers With A Free Ebook
You know by now that you should be building an opt-in list. It’s one of the best ways to earn money on the Internet.
When you have a list, you can send members a newsletter with one or more interesting articles along with ads for products related to the topic of your list. The larger your list, the greater the positive response will be to your ads. And, the more money you will make.
Creating and managing an opt-in list involves a number of tasks, including:
- Defining an appropriate topic for your newsletter
- Implementing software or subscribing to an external opt-in list service
- Attracting potential list subscribers
- Preparing articles and ads to send to your list
In this article we’ll discuss an aspect of attracting subscribers by offering a free article or ebook.
Today, nearly everyone expects an incentive in return for giving you their name and email address. It’s not enough merely to receive your periodic newsletter. After all, they don’t know the quality or content of your newsletter. So they expect something of value up front.
The typical product you can offer as an incentive is a free ebook or article.
To successfully get new opt-in subscribers you’ll need to offer an ebook or article that provides immediate benefits. That is, your product must solve some problems or answer some nagging questions of your target audience.
You can offer an ebook or article you have resale rights to or you can create your own. Most existing ebooks with resale rights have been marketed for some time. Often these products have been marketed by people with more resources and experience than someone just creating their first list. So, the information in these ebooks is often familiar to many people.
You’ll often find that if your product has unique content you can corner the market for your particular set of solutions. This offers an advantage because your target market can only get these solutions from you.
How to Develop Ideas for Your Ebook
As you gain experience with your topical area you’ll probably be able to identify some of your target audience’s problems or concerns. And, knowing their concerns or problems, you’ll likely be able to offer a few solutions.
Once you have identified some solutions, you can expand your thoughts to a few paragraphs. To explain them clearly and give examples, each solution may be become a chapter of several hundred or even thousands of words.
You can often research your topic and look for additional solutions by using the search engines or by searching various article sites. Once you locate material that describes solutions you can express those solutions in your own words. You can add your own examples to make your expression of the solutions unique and more personal.
While copyright protection applies to the expression of ideas, it does not prevent you from expressing those same ideas in your own words. There are many books and ebooks that express the same concepts in different words. So, your expression of the solutions you choose to present will not conflict with the rights of others.
Preparing and Publishing Your Ebook
Most people use a product like Microsoft Word to prepare their ebook or article. With it you can check spelling and grammar, create chapters, headings, bulleted lists and a table of contents. You can also add photos and clip art to help explain and illustrate your ideas.
You may already have access to a commercial clip art package. Many packages are available at your local computer store. And, even though I own several clip art packages, I’ve found that I’m usually satisfied with Microsoft’s free library of clip art.
Microsoft allows you to download and use any of over 150,000 images and sounds from their online library. To search and download art from Microsoft using Microsoft Word, select “Insert” then “Picture” then “Clip Art”. Then select the Clips Online tab. You’ll then be able to search photos, clip art and sounds for just the right images to illustrate your ideas. As long as your purpose is to enhance your own product, you can freely include Microsoft’s images.
Once your ebook or article is complete you’ll want to create a PDF file. This is the most popular format for downloadable ebooks and articles. People using both Windows-based PCs and Macintoshes can view documents in PDF format.
You can “print” your document to a PDF file using any of several free conversion applications. Newer PCs often come with this conversion software preloaded. If your PC does not have this software you can get it free from several sources. Three free products that create PDF files from virtually any Windows applications are:
- PrimoPDF
- PDFCreator
- doPDF
After creating your PDF file you can then upload the PDF to your server. You’ll need to upload it in BINARY format rather than ASCII format. To make sure you did everything correct you should download your PDF and test it to make sure it is viewable.
You’ll also need to create a web page that promotes the benefits of your ebook or article, describes your newsletter, and includes a subscription form. In addition, you’ll need a “Thank You” page that has a link to your ebook’s PDF file so subscribers can download your product.
With unique content that offers an immediate benefit to potential subscribers, you’re sure to have a successful list building experience.
