Introduction
You probably opened this book because you wanted to learn about how to turn the free rebrandable ebooks and reports that you can find online into big fat cash, right?
Well, you came to the right place…
You'll get 22 great methods in this book!
I've earned hundreds and hundreds of dollars in additional autopilot commissions just from using a few of these methods, so I know that using rebrandable ebooks can be a good way to jumpstart your income.

The Beginning…
Recently, my friend Oz started a research contest with some free iPad 2s
on his site that shows you a simple 19-step plan for building a 6 figure business.
The premise of that plan was based on developing valuable niche assets for yourself that would bring income for you again and again. It's a really interesting and insightful way of looking at your online business and if you have some time, you should go and take a look as well.
My contribution to the contest was about the use of free ebook and report marketing. Let me give you a brief introduction first before we go into the money making methods…

The Power of Free eBooks
First, let me ask you a very simple question…
" What would you say is the main difference between
an ebook and a website? "
Both of them can be considered online assets. Both of them contain content. Both of them are forms of information in one way or another.
Both of them provide value. So how are they different?

The Answer
I would say that the main difference is in the power of distribution.
When you have a website, it always stays motionless at one URL or domain name. My website will always be located at
TheMysteriousMarketer.com. You won't wake up one day and find it located at WarriorForum.com. Because it will always be unmoving, I have to drive traffic to my website. I can't drive my website to the traffic…
However, digital ebooks and reports are different… They can have simultaneous existences, meaning that they can exist in more than one place on the web at once. You can send an ebook to thousands of websites all across the web. In other words, you are sending your ebook to the traffic instead of vice versa.

Simultaneous Existence
And because your ebook can have simultaneous existences, you don't necessarily have to worry about any one of those websites going down. It greatly reduces the risk associated with your online asset (in this case, the ebook).
Since it can travel, it can move across the web all by itself with legs of its own. People can share it, and read it on their favorite websites or on their desktops. And you can make some sales if you have some good links in there too.
In this lies the power of ebook distribution…

What To Do…
Creating ebooks yourself can sometimes be a pain, and many times, you might not know enough about the topic at hand to produce the quality content that you need.
How much your ebook gets read depends very strongly on how good the content is. So it's in your best interest to give away a quality ebook or report with great information.
So what do you do if you can't or don't want to create your own ebook or report?
The simple answer is to take an existing rebrandable ebook and rebrand it with your own affiliate links for the product.

Building an Online Asset
For those of you who don't know, rebrandable ebooks are ebooks that come packaged with a software. That software allows you to enter in your affiliate ID, and it then goes on to replace the links in that ebook with our affiliate links. You can then distribute the ebook and earn money from it.
Free rebrandable ebooks provide you with the opportunity to make fat money from great content without having to write the content yourself. All you have to do is to load up the rebrander, insert your affiliate ID into the ebook, and give it away again and again.
Do it enough and do it wisely, and you've just created an online asset for yourself that will keep bringing in some additional autopilot income for you day after day.

The Benefits
Once it's been put out there, you don't even have to worry about it breaking down or doing any maintenance or customer service. And if the report that contains your affiliate links is really good, the report will start walking by itself, from person to person all across the internet.
It's something that can make you money, even if you:
– Don't have your own website
– Don't have your own blog
– Don't have your own list
– Don't want to learn SEO
– Don't want to learn PPC
– and so on and so forth… :)

Why Not?
Of course, having all of the above definitely does increase your advantages, and you should at least be having some or all of them.
Even if you already have your own ebooks or reports, free rebrandable ebooks are right there waiting for you. Why not use them and earn some additional income?
But still, knowing that is just one part of the battle…

Getting It Read
Finding a free rebrandable ebook or report and rebranding it with your own affiliate links is the easy part. The hard part for many people is getting it out there, getting it read, and getting some sales from it.
Most people don't have a clue about what they can do to get their rebranded ebooks out there and start making some sales. Sometimes, you need a solid plan, and sometimes you just need some options in front of you that you can use…
So now, let's get into that. Here are some of the most effective ways and places for getting your rebranded ebook out there. You'll find links to download some free rebrandable ebooks throughout this book too…

The New Article Marketing
With article marketing no longer being as effective as it once was (it is still quite effective though, just not as much as years before), the latest type of site that is being used by internet marketers and article marketers everywhere is the document sharing site.
These sites allow you to upload and share PDF documents along with clickable links, your rebranded ebook included. They rank really highly in the search engines as well. You can even get backlinks from some of these sites, though not all of them.
Here's a comprehensive list of all the top document sharing sites where you can distribute your rebranded pdf ebooks. I've been through and tested each and every document sharing site I could find on the web, and these seem to be the ones that are still working until today.

*Notes
Note: There are some document sharing sites I didn't include here. Sites not included either didn't allow users to post public documents that can be seen by everyone, or they had no searchable databases so users can search for and find your ebook, or they didn't allow you to have clickable links in your PDF. There's no point uploading your ebook to a document sharing site that people can't search through or that doesn't display your ebook properly, right?
Another Note: When doing this, don't come across as being spammy. Take it slow and easy. Mix some non-rebranded free ebooks into your account.
And don't make it obvious that you're giving away a rebranded ebook.
Doesn't matter which website it is, no one likes to see that… Try to be as low-k

Here's the list:

If you don't have time to submit to all of them, I would suggest using only Scribd and Slideshare as these two sites have given me the best results.
Another thing you will want to note is, when you upload your ebook to these sites, they allow you to choose the title of your ebook. Don't just put the title of the ebook as is. Include some keywords too, because the keyword included in the title is what your page will rank for in the search engines.
You might even want to use a long tail keyword as the title. You want your pages to rank for terms that people are searching for.
Just submitting your rebranded pdfs to those sites will get you some traffic. Your ebook will most probably rank in the search engines too. If you want to maximize your results, then you can submit the URL of your rebranded eBook to some social bookmarking sites as well.

*Notes
Here's a list of some free social bookmarking software you can use…
Also, if you want to get your ebook URLs indexed quickly, then follow these simple steps:
– Copy and paste the URLs for your ebook and ping them with Bulk Ping.
– Take those URLs and turn them into an RSS feed using Bulk Ping's feed creator.
– Submit the generated RSS feed to RSS directories using Bulk Ping's feed submitter.
Note: Slideshare gives you your own personal profile feed, so you can submit that with the feed submitter too. Most other sites don't give you one.

Leveraging Your Documents
This is something that almost no one is doing. Some of the document sharing sites like Scribd or Slideshare (I recommend that you use one of these two) allow you to embed your PDF file onto your blog.
This way, your readers don't have to download the PDF in order to read it.
They can view it on your blog and even click through any links in the PDF.
It's not a bad idea to embed the PDF in a blog post on a related topic. This will add more value to your blog post too.
Apart from that, embedding the PDF on your blog will help to get it more views. This in turn will help it to rank higher in the document sharing site's directory. Users can also download the PDF and share it with their friends.

*Notes
You don't necessarily have to embed your PDFs on your own blog though.
You can embed them on free blogs too, like:
– Blogger
– WordPress (WordPress Embed)
– Blog.com (Flash Embed)
– Typepad
– Xanga
– Weebly
– Tabulas
– and more…
Tip: If you have an automated Web 2.0 article submitter like SENuke X you can put your ebook's embed code along with your spinnable article for easy automated submission to free blogging sites.
Rebrand Redux

Some free blogging sites don't display embedded PDFs correctly though, like InsaneJournal and LiveJournal, but others do like the ones I mentioned. This isn't really a big deal, because sites that don't display them correctly normally just strip out the code and leave a link back to your main document URL.
Doing this should allow you to spread your embedded rebranded ebooks all across the web as you submit hundreds of articles. You might consider creating separate accounts just for this purpose. Can you imagine the power of your rebranded ebook being spread all across the web?
Note: Spin your embed code so that your submitter randomly selects from 10 or even 30 different rebranded ebook embed codes.

Building the List
There's no doubt that you should be using your rebranded ebooks to build a list. Give the ebook away in exchange for your readers opting in. Not only are you building your list, but you also get the chance to earn money from subscribers who purchase things from your affiliate links.
Not just on a blog, but you could create a high-converting squeeze
page and drive traffic to that squeeze page too.
Tip: What some people are doing is that they give the rebranded ebook to their subscribers along with giveaway rights. That means that their subscribers have the right to give their rebranded ebooks away, thus increasing the chances of their earning even more.

Tips For List Building
The first part is getting your rebranded ebook up there for all to see, so that they can opt-in to your list and download it too.
However, you will need to drive some traffic to your squeeze page in order for this method to be effective.
The following methods will all give you great ways to get people who will want to be opting in to your list.

Building the List
You can send your rebranded ebook to your list directly as a present.
This may be obvious, but there are a lot of different ways you can do it…
You may even want to direct your list to one of your great blog posts that includes an embedded PDF instead of sending them the download link directly.
Don't have a list yet? I recommend that you get one with AWeber…

Free Reviews
Again, something I don't see other people doing but which can really be very powerful is writing a product review about your rebranded ebooks.
Normally, people do product reviews for affiliate products. But you can do the same for free products like your rebranded ebook.
Write a good review about what the product teaches you, your results and impressions from it, etc. But don't give away too much information, because you want your readers to download the ebook and read it for themselves.
If you want to learn how to write reviews fast, you will probably be interested in studying The Art of Writing.

Free Traffic
A good way to get more traffic to your opt-in pages and your reviews is to make use of your forum signature. This is one of the easiest and fastest ways to drive some good targeted traffic to your site.
It can be one of the most important areas of virtual real estate that people overlook. Also, people are always looking for something good and free, so make it clear and enticing in your signature.
Note: A bit of traffic here and there is all you need. In a later step, I show you how you can turn a small bit of traffic into a viral tidal wave. But the most important step is to get that small bit of traffic to your page quickly and easily. That's why you should keep this step and the following few steps in mind. Keep reading onwards…

Another easy way to get some traffic, but it all adds up. Most rebrandable ebooks come with the product cover image. However, you may want to design your own unique cover image for your rebranded ebook just so you can use it for this step if there isn't one or just to make it look unique.
You can take this image and upload it to photo sharing sites. In the description, have a link to the page where people can see that you used the product cover image.
Again, use the right keywords for the title, filename, and description of your images as these will rank in the search engines, as well as the Google Image Search (hot). Here a list of some popular photo sharing sites that you can try posting to.
Note: Again, do it in a professional way, as someone wanting to show of their collection of posters and art. Don't come across as being spammy…

Coupon sharing sites normally have a lot of traffic, and there are a lot of people there from all types of markets. People are always looking for a good deal.
One thing you can do is to password protect the download link to your rebranded PDF so that it can only be accessed by exclusive members who have the coupon code. You can do this by changing the visibility status of your WordPress blog post from 'Public' to 'Password Protected'.
This may be a bit clunky, so here's a short tutorial on how you can edit the display of your password-protected post.
Another thing you can try is using this WordPress plugin. It's quite cool, but a bit buggy at the moment because it has just been released so it may or may not work for you. But I have no doubt that the author will be fixing it up more in the future.

People will then need to enter a coupon in order to download the PDF. You can then share this coupon on coupon sites, giving you more traffic and backlinks as well. To show you a live demonstration, I've set up this page
where you can get a free rebrandable report on the topic of earning a fortune with product creation along with a bonus software. To get this report, however, you will have to search for a special access coupon code…
It's somewhere online
Some of the more popular coupon sharing sites that you can submit to include:
