6.10 Using Your Blogs to Give Your Mini EBook Away

Another way in which you can disseminate your mini E-Book is by giving it away through your blogs. This is especially effective if you own more than one site in the same niche. For instance, if you sell Internet marketing products on 25 different sites, you can begin using your blogs to give your mini E-Book away, even if the sites the blogs are on do not contain the sales page for your site.

Another great way in which you can begin using your blogs to give your mini EBook away involves first posting a quick advertisement for the mini E-Book on your blog – and then commenting on others' blogs. It is important that you do not spam. Not only is it unethical, but it is far more likely to hurt you than it is to help you. It will probably eventually get you blacklisted from commenting and banned from search engines. Instead, you will want to post useful, relevant comments on blogs – and then direct them back to your site with a link. No only will this get you traffic from other blogs, but it will also increase your search engine rankings by pointing a link from a relevant site to your blog.

Aside from focusing on useful comments, it is crucial to take a number of other things into consideration. For instance, you will want to take into consideration the blogs you comment on. One way in which you can find high ranking blogs in your niche is by searching the http://www.ask.com and http://www.google.com blog directories. You can then sort blogs by importance and by commenting rules – and then carefully select the ones that will give you the best benefit by posting on them.

The last crucial part of using blogs to give your mini E-Book away involves creating a powerful landing page on your blog. If you generate traffic through comments, but are ultimately unable to convert any of that into subscribers, then it is essentially time wasted.
