Well, it is definitely yes!
In the early day of internet marketing, giving away ebook free was a very good list-building strategy. It worked extremely well. But it is no longer the case in TODAY scenario. Giving away your ebook free is just not enough for your online business. You’ll need to do something different.
The net is so saturated with the free ebook because every one is giving away their ebooks free. Some of them are poorly written and reading them is just a waste of time. Of course, I am not saying that all of them are poorly
written. An exception is Rebrand Profits by Gary Hugnh. It’s a very good and informative ebook you should read. It's Free.
So, to compete with so many other free ebooks out there, you’ll need to do something different or come up with a new idea. People are more willing to distribute your ebook if you provide them incentives. The more benefits you provide, the faster your ebook is passed on. Remember, giving away your ebook is a very good form of free advertising.
Yah...I know but HOW?
It’s definitely by way of ebook rebranding. It has been used by top internet heavyweights to get people to download and distribute their ebooks free.
In this article, I’ll show you three simple ways to get people to distribute your ebook free using ebook rebranding techniques.
But first...
You need to have your own info-product, be it an ebook, a report or just a compilation of articles, tips or whatever you found on the Net. Inside the infoproduct, include links to the affiliate programs you are promoting. Be selective on the affiliate program you’re promoting. Promote only affiliate programs that are relevant to your infoproduct. They must pay well, allow you to recruit subaffiliates and most important of all offer at least TWO-TIER commission pay out. This is the first and foremost thing you need to do to encourage people to rebrand your ebook. This is particularly important because this is how you will make a fortune from your free infoproduct. Here is how it works:
If Joe signs up the affiliate program in the infoproduct, you get commission for his signup. If he then distributes the infoproduct to someone else and that someone else signs up through Joe’s affiliate link, both of you get paid! Can you see how powerful it is? Of course, you need to makesure that your info product is informative enough that the readers would give it away even without incentive.
Second technique is to charge people certain fees for them to rebrand your ebook. In other words, you are selling the rights to rebrand your ebook. This is particularly the case when you have no choice but to promote a single tier affiliate program. To make your offer more enticing, sell them the master rebrand rights.
Yes, I know you may be wondering why I said so. I’ll quote you an example to illustrate this.
Say Joe buys the master rebrand rights and distribute your ebook to everyone he knows. Then, whoever wants to rebrand the ebook Joe gives away, he or she has to pay Joe instead of you! Sound interesting? In such way, your readers are more willing to rebrand the ebook because it earns them more profits. I would definitely love the idea of me charging the people fees instead of you.
The third technique would require you to have your own products. Don’t worry if you’re too busy and have no time to create one. You can buy resell rights to a product. Ebookslot.com at (http://www.ebookslot.com) is a good place to shop for ebooks and software products with resell rights. You can buy a package of ebooks with resell rights and repackage it to create your own unique product. Then set up an affiliate program and write a free info-product that promotes your product. Include a message in your ebook
that tell your customers you are willing to give away the rebrand rights only if they buy your product. Instead of asking your readers to BUY the rebrand rights, you actually ask them to buy your products. People will join your
affiliate program if they think it’s easy to promote your product and make money.
To create rebrandable EXE ebook, you can use Active Ebook Compiler which is by far the most affordable html compiler. You can also use pdf995 or pdfedit995 if you are creating rebrandable PDF ebook. Both tools are free!
So, start creating your own infoproduct with links to good affiliate programs TODAY and success is just right on your doorstep!
