Starting a Viral e-Book
By Craig Cawthorne
Ebooks, or electronic books, are the online or electronic version of books, newsletters, publications, manual, etc. Ebooks are downloadable files from the internet and can be installed to one’s computer. Some of the popular books, like Harry Potter, actually have an ebook version. Some of these are free; some are available for a minimal cost. The concept of Ebooks has been adopted by marketing people because of the ease of distribution to a huge number of people over the internet. They incorporated advertising and marketing strategies with Ebooks to boost revenue, at the same time giving useful information to other people. That is how the term viral ebook came about. Viral ebook is, basically, an ebook that is passed on to other persons which brings several benefits, mainly profits, for each individual. These Ebooks are free, most of the time, to encourage more people to get them and pass them on to others. Viral Ebooks contain useful information about something related to what the marketer is promoting. And since it is a marketing tool, these viral Ebooks contain links that lead to the marketer’s web site. Thus, if a person reading the ebook becomes interested and clicks on the link, that will already be a potential sale to the one who originally sent the ebook. If you are planning to start making such an ebook to promote your products or services, you should consider several things before jumping on to it. The very first thing that you have to think about is the topic. How to choose a topic? An ebook can talk about anything. But, of course, if you are planning to make profit from it, your ebook should talk about something interesting. It should deal with things that most people are concerned about. People want things where they can benefit from in whichever way it may be. The first thing to consider when thinking about the topic for your ebook is your main goal. You have to define your purpose of writing the ebook. If your goal is to increase sales of your product or service, then your topic should be something related to those things. You, as the maker of the ebook, should also be interested in the topic you choose; else, it will feel like a burden doing something that you do not really like. Also, it will be easier for you to write things about a topic that interests you so you can express yourself better. To better help you in selecting a topic, you must set an ample amount of time thinking about it. Go in a place where you can concentrate. Try to think of the things that interest you, things that you are comfortable with. Then list down all those things that come to your mind, even the crazy ones. Once you’ve listed them, select those that can be related to your product or service, if you are promoting these things. If not, select the topic that you think will be most profitable. Also, make sure that you can have a lot of resources for the topic you choose. More resources would mean more information to put in your ebook, and the more interesting it will be to read. Having a good topic is the best way to start your viral ebook. A topic that interests you, as the author of the ebook, will make the journey of creating it be enjoyable and fun. Other than that, more valuable and quality information will be incorporated since you know the topic well. So start brainstorming now with yourself. Choose the best topic that you can think of. And make that vision of increased profit turn into reality with your own viral ebook.
