Maximize the Power of Your E-book by Adding the Option of Branding

E-books and electronic information have seemingly been around since close to the dawn of the Internet. However, the technology that has evolved to make e-books more profitable is cutting edge. If you've ever published your own e-book, you know how easy and profitable it can be. What you may not know is that your e-book could pack a greater punch with the power of branding.

Branding is taking an embedded link such as http://www.website.com in your e-book, and allowing the purchaser of your e-book to change the link to include their affiliate link to look something like http://www.website.com/myaffiliateid. You may be saying, great, so you can let them change a link, big deal. Well, this can be a great big deal if you use this tool correctly.

Let's say you have an affiliate account for a product X. And your affiliate ID is productXseller. Well, if you can embed your affiliate link into your e-book such as www.productX.com/productXseller, and then allow your affiliate link to be re-branded to your buyer's ID to look like www.productX.com/productXseller's-affiliate you can generate a lot of passive income. This is useful for affiliate programs that allow you to earn credit for what your affiliates or "down-line" produce.

Another benefit of making an e-book brandable is that it gives your readers an incentive to pass on your book. This gets it into more hands typically than a standard e-book. It gives the buyer something that is in it for them. If they re-brand your e-book and then pass it along, chances are so will their customer and so on. Before you know it, hundreds of copies of your e-book may be distributed out among the Internet. I know this to be true, because I've created a brandable e-book myself. I've seen how powerful of a system this can be. Go to my link at http://www.acgrei.com/Free_Traffic/Free_Traffic.zip and download a free copy for yourself. It includes everything you need to re-brand and distribute my e-book. Look it over. It should give you a greater understanding of what I'm describing by seeing it firsthand.

That leads me to my final point. The beauty of brandable e-books is the way in which you can distribute them. You can sell them online at your website, via online auctions like Ebay, distribute them with your newsletter or as a bonus for visiting your website. You want to get your publication into your customers' hands any way you can. By using this strategy, you can make money, even by giving away an e-book for free. Have a profitable day!
