E-books for business promotion

Write a book? Are you crazy?

Maybe so. Writing a book used to be a major undertaking, and getting it published could be very difficult or expensive if you were forced into vanity publishing (where you pay someone to produce your book).

But that's all gone away. The Internet and computers have made it possible to publish "e-books" - electronic files, really, that you can sell or give away.

Some people use free e-books to promote their business. Others business is selling their e-book. Still others mix both together. There are dozens of ways to use electronic books to promote your business and dozens of businesses that can be built around e-books, yours or someone else's.

If you have a website already, you might be able to easily produce a book by bundling old articles and tying them together with very little work. Technical guides and how-to's make are excellent content, and can help establish you as an expert in your field.

And of course you can always print hard copies for hand-outs at trade shows etc. or just put the whole thing on a CD that you pass out to solicit business. It's easy today to include video and sound, so this can become an incredible marketing tool.

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
