People love getting things for free, and eBooks represent a substantial value in the eyes of consumers. GetFreeEbooks.com and The eBookDirectory.com are two free eBook directories that can provide maximum visibility for your eBook, and traffic to your website.
Get Free eBooks
GetFreeEbooks.com is a free ebook directory where you can read, download and contribute eBooks. For the website marketer, adding an eBook can mean traffic to your website. With an Alexa rating of 25,754, GetFreeEbooks.com is a great place to drive traffic through eBook submissions.
The eBook Directory
The eBookDirectory.com, like GetFreeEbooks, is a free ebook directory where you can read, download and contribute ebooks. The eBook directory asks that you add a link from your website to the eBook Directory in order for your eBook to be included in their directory.
To make the most of eBook directories, you will need to:
Solve a problem. People aren't searching for products. They are searching for solutions. Provide it, and your eBook will be a success.
Give it an interesting title. If your eBook title intrigues people they will want to read it.
Offer quality. Rather than getting caught up in how long it should be, remember that quality is what matters most. When you're finished saying what you need to say, and you have said it well, your book is the perfect length.
Make it a PDF. A PDF (portable document format) document is the best format for easy reading and crisp, clean printing.
Add a link. A link to your website at the bottom of each page will make the hours you invest in the creation of your ebook worthwhile.
Invest in a professionally designed eCover. Great graphic design is often a reason why people choose one product over another, so it is worth the investment. I would recommend that no cover be used if you can't afford to have it professionally designed. A cover isn't necessary. It's just better.
Encourage free distribution. Adding a Creative Commons license at the beginning of your eBook will multiply the benefits of the time you invested.
Create a Compilation. Combine the best articles that you have written for article marketing websites into an eBook. The work you have already done will take on a powerful new role in marketing your website.
