Making Money With Viral eBooks: The Right Way To Place Your Affiliate Links

Creating a successful viral eBook can be easy if you provide people with quality content, but I must mention that there is a "style" of viral eBooks that usually always fails. Those are the eBooks that people have created that are just full of affiliate links. If you create an eBook and want people to share it with others, and then you fill that eBook with tons of "ads" for your own products and others people's products, then very few people are going to share that eBook with anyone else. As a result, you haven't created a viral eBook.

Now, there is a correct way to place a few affiliate links within your viral eBook that will effectively make you extra money when people share your book with others. Basically, you are going to want provide links in your eBook that provide people with a "free trial" of software (where they may eventually purchase the full version), free eBooks that they can get from quality websites (that allow people to eventually make a purchase for a full program), or you are going to want provide people with links that give them access to discounted deals that are related to the topic of your eBook.

For example, maybe you have created an eBook on MySpace Marketing. You might then share with everyone that they can get a free trial version of software that will allow them to invite multiple MySpace friends at once on MySpace. As you can imagine, this would be a great tool for people doing MySpace Marketing. Now here is the catch, maybe with the free trial version, they are only able to invite a certain number of friends and leave a certain number of comments each day with the software. If they are just doing a small amount of MySpace Marketing with this software, then they would see the value in the tool and eventually want to buy the full version of the software.

Here's a second example: Maybe you have a second eBook on internet marketing. You teach some great stuff but then you also tell people about a few really great eBooks that they can get for free that also have to do with marketing. You may send them through your affiliate links to those websites where they are going to really benefit from the free info. But if they are really serious about their marketing, then they will eventually purchase the products on these websites, which once again, can bring you more affiliate commissions.

I have seen many people who have also used affiliate links in their eBooks to tell people about really inexpensive ways to solve additional problems that aren't solved in the eBook. I believe that if you are going to do things the correct way, then you should first provide people with great content and then provide a few of these 3 types of affiliate links at the end of the book. You will then start making some nice income when people constantly share your eBook with the world.

But there is a second question that people may have. That question is: where is one of the best places to find quality affiliate links for your eBook? Well, if you've ever written an eBook, then I know that there is a really good chance that you have heard of ClickBank. While using the ClickBank marketplace, you will be able to find many websites that offer free trials of software, free eBooks, and tons of websites that offer inexpensive solutions for people. Also, ClickBank doesn't have problems when people include affiliate links in eBooks. Some affiliate programs that you find aren't going to let you put your links in an eBook, but ClickBank is the easy way to include great links without having to worry about if you are going against the wishes of the merchants.
