You might be able to finish the whole thing in a day, or you might take a few weeks to do it.   In any case, make sure you wait at least a few hours after writing your ebook, then come back and reread it.   You’ll catch all kinds of little mistakes and typos that you’ll need to fix.   When you’re satisfied with your work, send it to a friend or family member to have them proof read it.   Another set of eyes will catch a whole new set of mistakes.

Now you’re ready to publish your ebook.   Follow the instructions for turning your document into a .pdf file.   You also need to make an ebook cover.  Free ebooks don't requre a great looking cover.  If you don't have the money to hire a professional, design your own ebook covers.  Just search Google for "free ebook covers" and design them from there.  It’s not as good as hiring your own graphic designer, but you probably don’t want to spend $60 on just one ebook cover that you're giving away for free anyway.

Submit your free ebook to as many sites as possible that will take it.   You'll find a huge list of free ebook sites just by using your favorite search engine. 

To make your book stand out you're going to need a great headline.   It needs to really stand out and make visitors want to click on it.  I use this headline analyzer for everything, including ebook titles.

You can also sell it for cheap on Ebay and give free resale rights with it – sellers love those resale rights ebooks so your ebook will spread like wildfire if your sales page and title is well written.   If you're using Ebay, you'll get better results by providing your resellers with graphics and a sales page to use, so they don't have to go through the trouble of doing it themselves.

You can get killer results using Ebay by looking for Powersellers that sell only digital products.   Send them a message letting them know that you have a brand new ebook and that they would be one of the first on Ebay to be selling it.   This allows them to charge a significantly higher price than the rest of their ebooks, and will eventually results in your ebooks being distributed all over Ebay (that means other sellers are actually paying to advertise your affiliate link!)

You can even ask your resellers to send their buyers to your download page, which you can monetize with Adsense, ads, affiliate links, and your other product offers.   Your website traffic should increase significantly.

Another way I distribute my free ebooks is with forums related to my topic.   Post useful information so people won't look at you as a spammer and will look forward to hearing from you.   Use an attention catching signature which includes the words FREE in it.   The more posts you make, the more chances you have of making an affiliate sale. 

Now all that’s left for you to do is check your affiliate sales and wait for the money to start rolling in.   But a better idea might be for you to promote your affiliate link even more with my next method that allows you to make money selling affiliate products.
