Using Your eBook as Advertising Space

Have you ever thought that you eBooks could be used to generate multiple streams of income? Instead of having only one revenue stream coming from them, use a little creativity to really push how much you can get from each eBook.

To be more specific, you could actually sell advertising within the eBook you are creating to make money.

Example. There's an eBook out there on how to design a wedding on a budget. The wedding industry is a multi-billion dollar industry. Let me ask you a question: Do you think some of the companies that sell products and services for people who are getting married would be interested in getting in front of somebody who has purchased a particular product on the exact topic that they have built their business around?

It may sound like a simple question and answer, but that is the question I want all of you to ask yourself. What kind of businesses would be interested in getting in front of the people you will be attracting? This should be one of those creative questions you constantly 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?

Thinking about it this will really get your creative juices flowing. All different businesses will come to mind, maybe even some of your competitors. You will also think of businesses that have complimentary products or services geared towards the particular audience that you are marketing to. These are the people that will be interested in purchasing advertising space in your eBook.

It is your decision how you want to layout where the ads would go. You could place them all at the end, beginning or have them scattered throughout the book. It doesn't matter how you do it, by selling advertising within your eBook it is providing you a method of generating more revenue

One way to use eBooks is to add value to you current customer base. An example of this is what I do to my email list. Now, I don't have a very big email list, but I have a great relationship with those who are on my email list.

To maintain that relationship and provide my current costumers valuable information one thing I could do is create an eBook for them. It could summarize or give step by step directions on a subject that my email list has questions about.

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.

Keep your eyes out for what your target market are wanting to know, or what business questions they may have. All you have to do then is develop an eBook outlining the procedure, give more information or answer they questions to solve that particular issue and they will see it as you providing great valuable information. This is something you should be constantly thinking about how you can boost your current relationships with your customers and an eBook is a great way to do this and selling advertising within it benefits you as well.

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.

Ideas will come to you when you explore the possibilities of creativity!
