Using Your eBooks To Piggy Back on Your Competition's Products

Creating an eBook allows you to use it to cross-promote it as a free bonus with another person's services or products.

'What?' I know a lot of you may be thinking that right now, but it is exactly what I mean. Look at who is selling competitive products to you and ask them if they would be interested in using your eBook to add value to their package.

People are always interested in looking to add more value to their current products or services. Now you're giving them a reason and a very easy way to add value to their current products or package.

What's the incentive for you? It enables you to cross-promote your products or services.

It seems pretty simple. You talk about your own products and services within the pages of the eBook and gain customers right?

One thing you do have to make sure you don't do is make your whole eBook one big promotion about your service or product. If you do this it is doubtful that your competition will want to bundle it one, and secondly no one will take you seriously.

Integrating cross promotion into your eBook without making it come off too dominant is one of the strategies I teach people when going through the mechanics of creating your very first eBook. You want to make sure you are not making it sound like one big sales pitch, yet you can still have the benefits of informing them about your products and services. This is something you should be constantly thinking about.

You want to make sure that your first and primary focus is giving quality information. Doing that is a sales tactic all on its own. People will learn to know, like and trust you on their own. Of course, it doesn't hurt to throw a few links and information about your products though!

You should really be asking yourself, "How can I cross promote within my eBook so my competitors can give it away as a free bonus to the same particular target market I work within? How can I do this by still providing them quality information but making sure people will learn about me and my products which will generate me leads?"

Cross-promotion is just one strategy on how you can use your eBook. Next time you are creating one, start thinking about other way you can use it.

By exploring your creativity ideas will come to you when you need them the most!
