Creating your own ebook is not an easy task but consider creating one for free nonetheless. It may seem like an act of insane generosity at first glance but there's a method to this madness. With the right techniques, one free ebook can help drive enormous traffic to your site.

Tip #1 

Be sure you are using the right keywords for your website. The keywords free ebooks are among the most powerful generators of website traffic. People love to get things for free and if they find out you're offering a free ebook in your website, they'll definitely come and visit. Once they get there, it's up to you to make the most out of their visit.

Tip #2

Set conditions for people to comply with before you let them download your free ebook. It doesn't mean you're making it harder for them, but rather, you're just maximizing on the opportunity provided by your free ebook. You may, for instance, require them to provide you with your email address before they can download the ebook. You must of course be honest with what you'd do about it. Be clear that you will only use their email address to contact them about updates on your website and that you won't share their information with other parties.

Tip #3

Establish short-term agreements with other ebook authors. You can write a review for them on your website, with the said review containing a link to their website and vice versa. It's all about give and take!

Tip #4

Promote your ebook in all possible places. You can talk about it in forums you frequently visit and participate in, blogs you commonly visit, other websites you can submit entries to, and anywhere else that gives you adequate space to talk about your free ebook.

Tip #5

Change the signature in your email to one that will invite readers to visit your website so they can avail of your free-ebook offer. Because you're offering something for free, people are more likely to respond to it than any other invitation that does not mention those two magical words: free ebook. Secondly, using it as your signature will eliminate the possibility that you'll forget to include the invitation in your email. It will always be there because the signature is part of your email template!

Do the same with any other systems that require use of signatures.

Tip #6 

One part of your ebook should contain an interesting anecdote as well as a link to your website. This must also contain essential information about the main topic of your ebook. Use this as an excerpt. People who read it will not only have a taste of your free ebook but also get to see the link to your website.

Tip #7

Insert the URL of your website in all possible places of your ebook. This should be done without destroying the coherence and flow of your writing. You want readers to remember that you have a site they can visit to without making it so obvious!

Tip #8

Create podcast discussions about your free ebook offer and of course don't forget to mention your website link. Create the video version and upload it in You Tube.

Follow all eight tips and you're sure to find the traffic to your website soaring high!
