In this article I'll explain some important elements of viral
e-books and how they can enhance your viral marketing efforts by
acquiring affiliates to promote your products or services and develop
global awareness of your company's brand.
So Let's Proceed...
If you want to create an effective viral e-book, there are a few vital components that must be included to maximize the probability of viral results.
First you need an attractive e-cover for your viral e-book, if you are a skilled graphic designer you can create it yourself. As for the rest of us, we can outsource the task for only $5 at Fiver.com.
Now let's discuss the content of your new product. Your e-book should display primary information about the publication itself, such as its trademark information and author's name with a brief bio. Then, to act as a directory for the material within your e-book, you should have a Table of Contents. This should more or less summarize the different areas of the publication so when a reader wants to revisit or jump to a certain section in the e-book with a click, he or she can just proceed to the page indicated in the Table of Contents.
It doesn't matter what your objective is in developing your viral e-book, try to keep it concise, containing as much exclusive, valuable and accurate information as possible.
Furthermore, you would not want your readers to become bored with hundreds of pages in your e-book. If your e-book is large and contains lots of pages, consider assembling a "Short Glimpse" of your e-book that works as a preview of the full-version. This sneak-peak version of your e-book should only contain enough information to intrigue readers and inspire them to buy the full-version.
The format of your e-book's pages should be consistent throughout. The pages should also appear professional, yet be as straightforward as possible, this builds reliability.
Other than the absolute content and hyper-links that you will put in your e-book, you should include a page that describes and provides guidelines on how affiliates and others can put their own hyper-links and affiliate IDs in your e-book. You don't want to be contacted personally to explain to an affiliate or a new owner of your e-book instructions on how to re-brand it. Clear and complete guidelines on re-branding and personalizing should be made available within the content of your e-book. This allows readers to sign-up as your affiliates. Once they have obtained their own affiliate link codes, they can do their own personalizing of the publication within the guidelines displayed in your e-book.
When you are developing a viral e-book, convenience is the key. Having an easy to re-brand, yet exciting, accurate and valuable e-book will improve its possibility of it being distributed to more individuals throughout the world-wide-web.
Including irresistible benefits and incentives that an affiliate will receive for promoting and circulating your e-book will definitely generate huge profits almost immediately. E-books merge well with on-line affiliate programs, because affiliates can take advantage of the benefits of endorsing the viral message, like being able to re-brand your e-book with their own affiliate Ids or hyper-links. The affiliate makes a profit when a person purchases your products or services through his/her affiliate link in your e-book. You can also prosper from a lot more traffic to your website because affiliate marketers are willing to promote your e-book for you.
Be absolutely certain that your concept has apparent take action instructions. There should not be any doubt at all about what you intend for clients and affiliates to do. Be sure that the instructions are completely transparent so that the way to take action is clear.
The process that you require should be quick and easy. Do not make things complicated or it will confuse and frustrate people. Remember the K.I.S.S. principle: (Keep It Simple Stupid!) The instructions should be apparent to those you want to take an action. Visitors will look at what you're offering for about seven to 10 seconds before they leave your webpage. If it takes longer than that for them to figure out exactly what you want them to do, they will simply move on.
Do not make your concept vague or difficult to understand. If you do, chances are you will lose prospective customers and affiliates. You must regard readers enough to show your concept clearly. Once you are sure you have an e-book that will be of value to the marketplace, embark on affiliates with your idea and be able to ensure them that promoting your product will be mutually profitable.
Using e-books is one of many techniques that have a collective effect on gaining affiliates to promote your products and develop brand awareness, as well as gaining visitors from within your target market to your website. You will quickly find that this is an excellent way to increase sales, subscribers, recommendations and the size of your customer database.
