Todaythat something has been discovered on the Web. It'straffic. Every marketer knows that sales is a numbersgame. The more eyes you put your offer in front of, themore sales you make. But how do you get traffic?On the Web there is one thing that draws people like mothsto a bug zapper. It's free information. The juciest freeinformation is that which can be downloaded. When youdownload information, you don't have to worry about itmoving or disappearing like what frequently happens on theWeb. You don't have to be online to read the information.You take possession of it.Writing your own ebook to offer as a free download willdraw considerable traffic to your Web site. But I'm nottalking about writing an ebook, and I'm not talking about"considerable" traffic. I'm talking about an explosion oftraffic.There are thousands of ebooks available on the web thatgive you free distribution rights. I propose that youcreate a free ebook directory.How does a free ebook directory turn traffic into gold?Here are just a few ideas:1. Sell affiliate products or services.2. Sell general advertising.3. Publish a newsletter.4. Sell ebook promotion.Here's how to create your ebook directory:- Put an ebook submission form on your Web site. Ebookpublishers will provide information about their ebook andthe URL to download the ebook. You don't really need aCGI form. You can use an email submission form. (see"Submit Forms Without CGI" in the bucarotechelp.com WebDesign section.) This means you can put your directory ona free host.- Don't host any ebooks on your website. When a publishersubmits an ebook URL, you should download a copy. Makesure the download URL works and that the ebook is not justadvertising, a scam, or worse yet - pornography. You haveto accept a certain amount of advertising in an ebook.After all, that's the purpose of offering a free ebook.- You don't really need a database. Create a section ofyour Web site for each "category" of ebook. Cut and pastethe information you are sent into a page in theappropriate category section. Put only five ebookdescriptions per page. Link the pages of each categorytogether.- The reason you put only five ebook descriptions per pageis because on each page you will also put affiliateadvertising or general advertising. As visitors browsethrough the free ebook directory pages, you want topresent a good amount of advertising to them.- Use the front page of your Web site to feature ebooksfrom publishers who are willing to pay $10 per month forthat extra service. If many publishers inquire aboutfeaturing their ebook, you can devise other specialfeature methods, such as search engine positioning. Free ebook publishers are always looking for directoriesto submit their ebooks to. The more ebooks you havelisted, the more traffic you will receive. It's a verysymbiontic relationship. This is a Web business you canstart with very little risk. You can start with a free Webhost, get free hit counters, and a free search engine.Yet, the potential income from a free ebook directorycould be considerable.Only a few good ebook directories exist on the Web.
