list.

7. Create a directory of web sites in eBook form.
List web sites in the directory of companies and
people who agree to advertise the eBook on their
web sites or in their e-zines. This will give them
incentive to give away or advertise your eBook.

8. Allow other people to give away your free
eBook. This will increase the number of people
who will see your ad in the eBook. You could
also include a mini catalog of all your products or
services that you offer in the eBook.

9. Gain new leads by having people sign up and
give you their contact information before they can
download your eBook. This is a very effective
way to conduct market research.

10. Make money selling advertising space in your
eBook. You could charge for full-page color ads,
classified ads or banners ads. You could also
trade advertising space in your eBook for other
forms of advertising.
