As you understand well by now, there are dozens of different ways in which you can promote your mini E-Book. One of the more promising methods is to submit to E-Book directories.
E-Book directories are usually multi-purpose sites that also display articles from a range of different topics. Their main purpose, of course, is to act as a massive directory of different free and paid E-Books.
One easy way to find E-Book directories is to search Google for an “E-Book directory list,” rather than an “E-Book directory.” A number of Internet marketers have assembled full, free lists of directories for this exact purpose.
There are a number of things you will want to keep in mind when you submit to EBook directories. The first is the title and description you use. While you are submitting primarily to get downloads from site visitors, you will also want to integrate natural search engine optimization techniques whenever possible. By placing the keywords you are targeting in your title and description of the mini EBook, you will gain a more relevant backlink.
The next thing you will want to consider is how to differentiate your mini E-Book from all of the other offers in your category. One good way is by getting good graphics work done. This immediately makes your mini E-Book look more professional than other E-Books in the same directory.
Another way in which you can differentiate your mini E-Book is by putting together a compelling description paragraph. Give a powerful, focused incentive for visitors to actually download your mini E-Book.
The last way in which you can submit to E-Book directories and get better results involves re-branding to allow anyone who downloads the mini E-Book to insert their affiliate links. If your goal is to get opt-in subscribers for your list, then letting anyone distribute it and take the affiliate commission should be no problem for your business plan.
