How can you earn money by promoting your website?

Put together a short ebook, publish it for free, keep the profits for yourself while spreading the word about your business!

I am taking you through this process in three easy steps. Before you know it your book will be out there explaining your products to the entire world!





Your Story Behind Your Business

Your human interest story behind your business can be your biggest selling point. Everyone is interested not only in rags-to-riches stories, but what are the reasons you started your business and why did you think it would be successful? If you run a particular type of business such as web hosting, what are the steps you took to start your business?

Don't worry about eloquent phrases or fancy words. Tell your story as you would to a friend sitting next to you at your kitchen table. Write it exactly as you say it. It's the best kind of advertising for your business, not someone else's. If you are not sure of your writing abilities, have a friend or a professional writer put your story together for you. Remember, when writing there must be something that the reader takes away - inspiration, a new idea, a lead into a compelling product or a new design. Tell your story in one, two or ten pages. It's your book!

Publish Your Story For Free

Yes, for free! There are many publishing companies on the web that will publish your book in a basic service. These free services vary in difference, some offering Print-On-Demand in their package, along with registering your book through online booksellers such as Amazon.com, Borders, and Barnes & Noble. If you want to publish POD there may be a minimum length for instance, twenty-five pages. Length differs, but it's worth writing a few extra pages for the exposure it gives you and your business! Ebooks are stored on site. That means that 24 hours of the day millions of people clicking on "selling on the web," "web design," or other topics will find you explaining your expertise and gaining a potential customer's interest.


Keep Your Profits While Spreading The Word

You are paid on a quarterly basis for the sale of your book (s). You can divide your business know-how into many short one or two page topics, charging $2.50 - $10.00 for an ebook, keeping 40-50% profits for yourself. You have ways of managing your business that would work for other people. Business topics are the number one best-selling ebooks. And if you don't think someone will pay you to learn how you started your business, all I can say is, I received my quarterly ebook/POD check today, did you?

The most popular search engine Google, places great significance on the link popularity of your web site. In fact, you can even get listed in Google without submitting your site to them, by getting other sites to link to yours. Finding many high ranking sites that link to yours, will improve the search engine ranking of your own web site.

Four effective ways to increase link popularity

1. Get your site listed in the search engine directories - first submit your site to the human edited directories of ODP (Open Directory Project - dmoz.org) and Yahoo (yahoo.com). Getting listed in these directories will give your site a boost in link popularity and improve search engine ranking in other search engines.

However, this may take some time.

You can get listed much faster by getting links from niche specific directories. Find these directories by doing a search on the major search engines with the primary keywords of your web site.

2. Provide high quality content - people will naturally link to your site if you have what they want (i.e. articles, software, etc). This will save you a lot of time searching for quality links yourself.

Optimizing your content with well placed keywords, will improve your search engine ranking dramatically. Search engines love focused content.

Don't you love it when you immediately find what you are searching for?

One way of achieving this is by writing and publishing articles. You can include a link at the end of your article. When your article gets published, you will automatically have gained a link to your site.

3. Requesting links from other sites - request links from sites that ideally have a high search engine ranking. Start by including a link from your site to theirs. Include a paragraph describing what your link is about. This helps achieve a greater number of clickthroughs to your site.

Request that they do the same when linking to your web site. If you provide this for them (with some of your primary keywords included of course), and provide quality information, you will have a greater chance of gaining a high quality link.

4. Write a testimonial - write a favorable review of someone's product or web site. Include the benefits you received through visiting their site. If that person wishes to use your testimony on their site, make sure they include a link back to your web site.
