Marketing Ebooks (E-books)

7 Steps to Marketing Your Ebooks:

List you ebooks on as many free ebook directories (like ours http://www.mindlikewater.com) as possible. Here are some others:

Trade links with as many ebook related sites as possible. Visit http://www.LinkPartners.com and search for related sites that will trade links or do your own searching using an engine or our directory. Optimize you current site for search engine traffic. In addition to that, you will need to create many informational pages to attract more search engine traffic and more visitors. Focus all of your effort on Google.
Consider creating a nice looking electronic book cover (image). We can quote you a price or visit this link to learn about ebook cover software: http://www.mindlikewater.com/ebook_cover_software.html.
Setup a small advertising budget and test out a few different options. You can try Pay Per Click advertising using Overture, Google Adwords, Findwhat, 7Search or our own Ebookhunt. You can also test out traditional advertising, but be careful. You will have to keep the costs low and do a good job of converting sales.
