Well done, Joan, I was looking at lots of tips on promoting an ebook, but yours gave me a great action plan to start with. I have put all these down, and we are now going to promote our seo ebook so that we can then help our clients with advice on how to take these steps and what issues you need to deal with. Thanks again, and wish you great success in the blogging world.

Just thought your readers might be interesting in this: http://ParticleBook.com

It’s basically a nicer way to publish an eBook to the web. You get to pick your own url for the book, like http://mayans.particlebook.com and then you can write to it just as you would write to a blog. Check it out.

In preparation of releasing my 13-ebooks in the Adventures in Delicious Dating After 40 series, I invited a dozen other relationship/dating experts to contribute a piece to a compilation eBook. This will be offered as a gift-with-purchase for my and the other’s products. It will then cross promote everyone else as well entice buyers for that first purchase!

I also created a free 50+page ebook of one chapter of each of the 13 books to give as a freebie for those signing up for my elist. They get value, and of course each chapter promotes that book.

Several ideas:

Is your book related to any professional assocations — local, regional, national or international? Offer this e-book as a membership giveaway for a new member and/or a conference teaser.

Offer book as a door prize at your next presentation or other event.

Have other profesisonals purchase at a discount rate to offer as THEIR door prizes or other special event.

Write a free column in a suitable newspaper or other media. Mention the book in the “about the author” tagline at the end of your article.

I’ve just finished writing my first ebook “Designing a Compelling 30-Second Intro.” From that I created a free ecourse called “12 Mistakes to Avoid in Your 30-Second Intro.”

Also, I second Patricia Reszetylo’s suggestion of doing teleclasses. I’m currently offering teleclinics to networking groups where I will help 2-3 participants with their intro.

These are both ways to demonstrate my expertise and promote my product.
