ONLINE MARKETING

Sorry for the late reply, ok I understand now, I was trying to explain the strategy I use when I need to Sell ebooks for clients, let me try explain in a point format.

1. I search for forums relating to the ebook im trying to sell
2. I check there ranking on alexa to make sure they are reputable and get lots of activity
3. Then I encourage my clients to start posting threads or answering them as they have the knowledge
4. Once they have gained reputation and are allowed to have signatures we load a link to the ebook (website included) in the sigs

I ask my clients to join at least 5 forums relevant to there niche and make around 5 posts a day on each forum as these improves awareness and help with back linking.

Hi All

I am in the process of marketing an E Book and Informational products, what would you say is the most effective way to do this?? I understand online is the way to go.

The problem is I would first like to build up a database of interested people and then take it from there. I would just like to first advertise somewhere as I dont have a website yet.

Would appreciate some advice.

Thanks

Having a landing page is quiet necessary because you need to send the traffic to a site where they will learn more about the product and get to know the seller better as well as you can build a mailing list that easily.

Detail you forgot to put in is: are you giving the book away for free or selling it. cause if you are selling it you should look at Amazon.

These days you don't even have to sweat on building a website, there are so many web designers in South Africa.
