Online Ebook Marketing

So I’ve been trying to market the book: Old Flames. A really great ebook by E.R. Yatscoff. The ebook giveaway is still going on till the end of October, so you are free to join until then on Facebook.  That is one way I have been marketing the book. So it had been good. Got about 100 subscribers. That will hopefully amount to 50 reviews or more. It would help boost sales.

Next is trying to boost incoming traffic to the authors website. This is done via website linking. Don’t link the name of the site i.e. :www.yatscoffbooks.com. Use a different term i.e.: firefighter ebook. This will help search engines define how it is linked and changes the search terms of people looking for your site. I also get incoming links via directories and blog rss feeders. We’ll see how well they work. It is a slow process as overdoing it one month can ruin google’s view of your website. Slow and steady is the key.

There are also more traditional approaches to ebook marketing like newspapers and paid newspaper reviews, but those are expensive and beyond my budget.

Good luck!

Are give away campaigns effective for eBooks?

So since I’m marketing my dad’s ebook Old Flames, I need to find the best way to market it. What is the best way? Low budget of course. So far I’m starting giveaways. I am advertising the giveaway on Goodreads and Facebook. Trying to get as many people to write reviews of the books as possible.

So I started the campaign at the start of October and will finish at the end of October. Give them 15 days to download then see how many reviews we get on all the sites. Hopefully it works out well.

100 people so far will receive the book, I really hope it gets up to about 500 though. That would make some waves in the market.

Other methods of Ebook Marketing

The next step would be advertising online.  Maybe PPC via google or even on Goodreads.

I am also using this blog, another blog, to bring web traffic to my father’s interesting book site.

Another strategy is using web directories to increase incoming links to my father’s website. I add his website to about 3 -6 directories each month to increase incoming links. These are good websites as well so they should increase search percentages.

I’ll keep you posted on the ebook giveaway. So far I have about 100 people joined, but that’s not good enough. Need more. Join the Facebook group if you do want the book though.
