Why Not Use Your eBook as Advertising Space?
Have you ever thought of using the eBooks you’ve created for more than just revenue stream? With a little creativity you can use your eBooks to generate you multiple streams of income
One strategy of how you can do this is selling advertising space within the eBooks that you are developing.
Here is an example. An eBook on how to plan a wedding on a budget. When talking about weddings we are talking about a multi-billion dollar industry. Do you not think some companies would want to be able to advertise their products or services to customers who just bought a product that their business is build around?
It sounds like a dumb question, but I want all of you to ask, ‘What other businesses would be interested in getting in front of the audience I will be attracting?’ It’s one of those creative questions that I urge all of you to constantly develop and ask yourself.
Just to ingrain it. For the target audience that I will be attracting, what other businesses would be interested in getting in front of them?
You mind is going to start to race about all kinds of other businesses. Some may even be your competitors. But there could be some other complimentary businesses that provide services or products to the particular market that you’re marketing to, who would be interested in purchasing ad space within your particular eBook.
Your ads could be scattered throughout, they could be right at the beginning, they could be at the end. Whatever. But it provides you a way to generate revenue by selling advertising within the actual eBook.
Adding value to your current costumers is also another thing you can do with your eBooks. For me I try to constantly work on developing and maintaining good relationships with the people on my email list. I don’t have a big email list, but I have a great one.
I want to constantly add value to everyone on my list and all of my customers and one of those could be by compiling a very valuable eBook that summarizes or perhaps outlines the step by step procedures, or provides clarity on a particular topic that my email list may be desperate to find out.
Adding value to my current customers and you is what I constantly try to do, especially when they are win-win for both of us.
If you are not really sure on what to write eBooks on, just look to your target market for help. If they are asking questions, needing solutions to a situation or you can give step by step directions on how to do something, that is of great value there and will make a great eBook. This is a great way to add value to your current costumers or future customers. Combining that with selling advertising it is a great win-win for you and something you should constantly be thinking about.
Hidden opportunities to make profit can be find if you just go into business with that mindset of providing your customers value and combine it with a little creativity.
By exploring your creativity ideas will come to you when you need them the most!
