Give Your Freebie Legs
It is all the vogue with the A and B list bloggers to give away a free ebook explaining how to make money blogging or how to get traffic to your blog with social media. And they are using this method like they came up with it and it’s the latest and greatest thing. But the free giveaway has been around since Fred Flintstone. Their main methods of promotion: word of mouth, social media, and paid advertising on other blogs. But they have the tunnel vision of only see through blogging and social media marketing eyes.
The whole point of Affiliate Project X was to find a hot product, write an ebook or program that compliments the product and then give customers the freebie if they buy through your affiliate link. The main method taught to get people to your affiliate link: PPC advertising. Why the freebie? Because many of the people buying an ebook about making money with Clickbank knew how to find the product and buy it through their own affiliate link to get the product less than half price. The freebie was something you could only get one way. This method is great and it works. But if it were all you used, you would be putting way to many eggs in a PPC basket.
My method: zip the book into a .zip file, create a pad file for it, and submit it to over 2000 download sites that are pad enabled. But the thing is that each group using a specific method is virtually blind to the other methods. And as I was writing this, I happened upon a post over at The Warrior Blog about using Craigslist to promote your free ebook.
I need to look in the mirror sometimes when I’m pointing fingers.

I have an old 1909 ‘magazine’ that my husband and I found in the wall of our old house in 1987. I recently had all 41 pages scanned and put on disk so I have a way to share it. I haven’t been able to decide the best way to do it though. Obviously, I have a genealogy blog and so something historic would be an asset. I’ve been studying your blog to read your advice and tips on sharing free material. Right now, I am torn between just taking some of the articles and posting them on my blog, or the aforementioned free PDF file. Thanks for all the great articles you write to help the rest of us not-so-savvy bloggers.
