Internet Babel

One way to get alot of free traffic is to give away alot of free stuff. Free ebooks, free reviews, anything of quality to your readers that will help them and help gain your blog momentum.

Lets say you write a quality ebook, or what you think is ‘quality’ on… getting good traffic. Now you’re trying to think of how much to sell it for, you decide to sell it for… $10. Now firstly unless your blog is highly established and read alot already then where is your kudos? why should anyone buy a product off someone they haven’t heard of, they have nothing to start from, no recommendations no proof, nothing. So chances are you will sell hardly any, the few you do sell will gain you a tiny bit of traffic, if any and bring you a little income which is basically worth wiping your ass with.

Think of all the other great FREE ebooks already available from well known entrepreneurs and blogs. Short-term you may think “but if I give it away for free, what’s the point” but long-term it’s by far the best option. Just look at, for example John Chow’s ebook ‘Making Money with John Chow Dot Com’ I’ve read the ebook and it’s a great ebook, well written, clear, definitive and to a degree advantageous to anyone who reads it.

So why would somebody buy something from ‘you’ who they’ve never heard of. Giving an ebook, a quality ebook away for free will bring you lots and lots of backlinks and long-term traffic. John Chow got an unbelievable amount of backlinks for his ebook and great feedback. Another recent example is John Reece; he released the free ebook on his income.com blog called ‘The Rebirth of Internet Marketing’ I’ve also read that and it was excellent. You can tell he’s put the effort in, it’s well worth a read and… it’s free. It’s easily more intellectually written, more intellectually considerate, more honest and more advantageous than the majority of highly priced ebooks available on the subject.

I have given away in total… I think 11 free site reviews for this blog. Each of which have received a great response from the receiver, they liked the review even though they were blunt they were honest. That’s the key, be honest because if your not a naive marketer will soon lose their naivety and become aware of your previous dishonesty.

So to finish, I’m just saying, whenever you can – give your readers quality freebies! it’s a win win situation. They get a free product or review and you get free backlinks and long-term traffic as well as possible word of mouth kudos.
