There can be many factors why you would want to publish an ebook, but the two most usual are to promote something and to publish a novel. This piece will concentrate on how to use an ebook for marketing, because even the author of ebook novels has to advertise them because they do not have a publisher.
If you are considering using Internet marketing techniques, three of the best are all related. You may write an piece for a newsletter or blog (perhaps as a guest writer); you could compose pieces on topics related to what you want to promote and hope that owners of newsletters and blogs copy your piece into their publication or you could compose an ebook on the topic.
Whichever course of action you choose, you will be hoping that the reader of your piece, clicks through to your web site and buys what you are advertising. They will be able to do this, because you have left a hyperlink to your web site at the end of your article or book.
Which of these ways is the best might depend on your abilities as a author, on your abilities as a promoter or on the technique that best suits the item that you are trying to promote. Time can also be a factor. It will obviously take longer to write a book than an article.
So, is there anything to be gained from writing an ebook instead of an article? That depends on quality and your capacity to send the article or book viral.
What does viral mean? it simply means that the writing is so good, practical or funny that people will want to pass it on to their friends.
You can see why this is known as viral advertising: your twenty friends forward the article to their twenty friends et cetera, et cetera. It could be read by millions in a week. If it is decent enough. An article of less quality may be read by thousands over the same period in low-circulation newsletters.
So, let us aim for the top. How do you decide on a issue for an ebook? Well, does it have to relate to something that you are already selling or planning to sell? Is the ebook itself the item or is it a marketing tool? In viral advertising, the ebook ought to really be a free pointer to your website.
So, in order to find a subject, look in places like Yahoo Answers. See what surfers are having issues with. Mosquitoes in the summer; gifts for the loved one at Christmas and St. Valentine's Day, etc. etc.. Then open Google's search page (open an account if you do not have one) and switch on predictive text.
Now enter the phrases that you lifted from Yahoo Answers slowly and see what comes up. These are the most sought on search phrases for that subject to have been used recently. Note a few of them down and enter them back into Google or whichever search engine you like.
How many other websites are using that key phrase? 500 million? Well, at least you know that people are interested in it, but there is loads of competition. Find a key phrase that you are happy with, compose your ebook using that title and then you 'merely' have to promote it, but at least you know that the public would like it and you know the strength of competition.
