Free Ebook Websites

What are free ebook websites?

You may already know that one of the most effective ways to increase traffic to your website is by offering something for free. However, if you’re like most web site owners deciding on the right type of freebie for your audience can be a challenge. After all, you don’t want to end up spending so much on the free item that you lose money even when you convert a visitor to a customer.

The good news is there are options that won’t cost you anything and that can be given away successfully as a marketing tool or even as a free gift to customers who buy your product. The surprise is that this ideal freebie is the ebook.

The first question you may have is how you’re going to afford to give away ebooks. If you’ve browsed the prices on many of the ones available today on the Internet you probably already know that they are definitely not cheap. And writing one can be time-consuming and can result in mixed results, especially if you’re writing skills aren’t top notch.

The good news is you don’t have to spend a fortune on the ebooks or write one on your own. Instead, you can look through the Internet to find free ebooks available for this very type of purpose.

Why Do People Give Away Their Own Ebooks

Considering the profit potential involved in selling ebooks online you might be surprised to learn that anyone would give these valuable commodities away. However, they do for a number of reasons.

First, some of the ebooks you’ll find have already had a successful sales run. They may have been sold through traditional means for a year or two then the profits started dwindling so the seller/writer switched focuses to a different information product or wrote a newer edition of that book. Instead of letting the old ebook just waste away on a hard drive, letting it be distributed for free keeps the writer’s name in circulation and helps them remain a perceived expert on the topic which will be good for their new business.

Second, the ebooks are being made available for free for strictly marketing purposes. In this case, the ebook will probably include a resource box for the author, including his or her credentials and a URL back to his or her site. When you give the ebook away, you are helping the other site with its marketing as well as your own. It becomes a win-win situation.

Third, some of the ebooks have been made available for free after the complete rights to the ebook have been purchased by a third party. In many cases, this is a great way for the writers to earn a sizable amount of income from the book. They charge a large upfront fee and the person who buys the rights to the ebook can do whatever he or she wants with it. For example, he or she might choose to give away the digital version then sell a published or audio version.

Benefits of Free Ebook Websites

Now that you understand why people give away their ebooks, it’s time to explore how these can be used to make your own site more successful.

Remember that the key in marketing is to give your customers something of high perceived value which costs you very little. Well, you can’t get a lower cost than free so these ebooks do meet that part of the criteria. However, today most people also view ebooks as having a high value. Readers recognize that these books take a lot of effort to create and are based on solid research. They, like you, also have an idea of how much information products are traditionally sold for on the Internet and are likely to be eager to jump on the chance to freely download such a product, especially if they have a sincere interest in the topic.

By providing these free ebook websites, you can either attract visitors to your site by basing your marketing around the book. For example, you could optimize your site and your pay per click marketing around the ebook’s topic. Another method is to require email addresses and names of people before he or she can download the ebook. You might send the link via email to increase the likelihood that a legitimate email address will be given. Then you can use this information for further marketing in the future.
