When generating revenue with a new mini E-Book, you have three basic options – all of which can be used interchangeably and even in conjunction with each other. Your first option is using the mini E-Book to drive traffic to a page that contains advertisements – or a list that is monetized with advertisements. Your second option is to direct readers to pages where they can purchase your products – or, again, a list where you will send them information and product pitches.
Your last option is building your backend income through affiliate programs. You can do this by signing up for multiple affiliate programs in your niche. You can find these programs at http://www.cj.com, http://www.linkshare.com, http://www.clickbank.com, and http://www.paydotcom.com. All of these sites contain various affiliate programs for both brick-and-mortar and information products.
Your next step should be to create a free mini E-Book in which you explain the exact details for using some type of system that involves purchasing certain tools. You can then begin building your backend income through affiliate programs you signed up for in the previous step: all you have to do sprinkle these tools throughout the mini E-Book in the form of affiliate links.
Whenever someone makes a purchase, you will be credited through one of the four aforementioned programs.Additionally, you can also circulate your E-Book for free – and try to get opt-ins, rather than direct sales. You can then tailor an autoresponder course that will train subscribers – and, at the same time, use affiliate links as a means to generate backend income.
Using either or both of these methods, you should be able to generate a substantial amount of readers, subscribers, and buyers – and ultimately begin building your backend income through affiliate programs, rather than adspace or your own products.
