Those of us who regularly shop on line are familiar with the abundance of free gifts, free bonuses and just plain offers that are offered to a visitor to a web site to encourage them to purchase.
How can you collect and offer free gifts, which will be appreciated as much as the original merchandise that is being bought, put these gifts together and add them to your E-book?
There are just three steps to do that very thing. They are:
1. Identify your key words in each section of your E-book. Now, type those key words into your favorite search engine. You are looking for free E-books on the same topic in more depth, by a greater expert than you are, or by a person who delivers a new and fresh angle to your topic.
Add an affiliate link to the free gift in each section of your E-book. Make sure your visitors can give away the e-book too, but not change the promotional links inside so you get your links showing up all over the web!
2. Research the web for related non-e-book free gifts. Now you are looking for gifts that you could distribute as bonuses in your e-book that will make it more appealing and give it more pass-along appeal to your customers.
For example: If you are promoting gardening supplies, locate a planting guide on the web that can be down-loaded and include that as a bonus in your product.
Add a link to the free gifts you find with a changeable promotional link if possible.
Just like in step 1, make sure your customers can give the e-book away too, but not edit the affiliate links so you get your link spread all over the web!
3. Download-able/Brand-able freebies. Visit freebies pages that have downloadable freebies - like E-books and software - and give away them as gifts with your E-books.
Try to locate gifts that you can brand with an affiliate link or two (Not too many!) as you can possibly make money even from the freebies you give away.
Just like in step 1, make sure your customers can distribute the gift away too, but not edit the affiliate links so you get your links spread all over the web!
Other key words you can search for are freebies, free E-books, free software, and/or free reports. Then add the key word (Topic) of the free stuff so that it matches your product topic. Like… “Freebies for gardeners" or "freebies, gardeners" if you have a gardening site or product.
Give your customers the best that you can offer. Give them your product, along with additional reading material and free gifts to boot. Everybody loves a bargain!
Deals With Free Gifts
So, you finally decided to set-up a website so you can earn some money from home. It doesn't matter whether you decided to start a website to promote and sell your own products or services, or to promote the products and services of an affiliate program you belong to, either way you need to generate traffic to your website.
One of the ways you can generate traffic to your website is to offer your visitors something for free.
That's right, giving them something for free will get them to stop by and see what you have to offer, and it can get them to return to your site over and over to see what else is new that you are offering for free.
People love to get free gifts and you can offer them to your visitors as an incentive to subscribe to your ezine, blog or newsletter, if you have one, or for joining your business, or you can give them away to your visitors just for stopping by and taking a look at your website.
So what do you have that you can give to them that's free?
There are a lot of things you can offer and they won't cost you anything to set them up and give them away. The best thing to do is to offer a small variety of free things in order to capture the interest of a broad range of visitors.
Here's a brief list of things you can offer your website visitors.
Free e-Books
Free Content that automatically updates on a regular basis.
Free articles that they can use in their newsletters, ezines or website.
Free Email Accounts
Free Daily Jokes
Free e-Cards
Free Daily Horoscopes
You see, this is only a short list, but the items mentioned above will give you a wide range of items to choose from.
Some of the Free Content that you offer should update on a weekly or daily basis. This will keep your visitors returning to see what's new.
You can also allow your visitors to give away your content to their website visitors. This works best with articles and e-books, because when they post your articles on their website, newsletter or blog they must include the resource box at the end of the article. The resource box will contain a little info about you and/or your website and a link back to your website.
In time, this will provide you with 1,000's of website and newsletter owners, who will have your content and/or articles on their sites, providing you with 100% free advertising and more visitors to your site, through their efforts. Also by having your articles and content on other peoples sites, newsletters or blogs, you will also get your site listed higher in the search engine listings because this will generate more links back to your website.
This will generate free traffic to you from the search engines.
Wow, imagine that. You give away free gifts and content to your website visitors, they place it on their websites, newsletters, blogs, and your website gets listed in the search engines and before you know it a flood of people are coming to your website from all over the world, and you finally start making serious money selling you products and services.
So what did you do? You gave away free gifts and offered free content and you generated a lot of traffic to your website and you made money.
So what are you waiting for? Get started today. Yes, it does take some time to get things set-up, but once it's done and things start to show some results you'll be able to sit back a little and enjoy the fruits of your labors. It won't be long and this will give you an army of people promoting your website for you by giving away your free gifts and content which will lead back to you.
