You can either use viral ebooks to promote your newsletter and collect subscribers or to promote your product and generate sales (or you can do both). These reports only need to be 20 to 30 pages long but should be high quality to ensure that readers will actually circulate them.
Allowing affiliates to customise and brand your viral ebooks will motivate people to actually promote them because they will be able to earn commissions from people who buy any products that are recommended in the content. This can be recommendations for products which you have created yourself or other people's products.
To attract visitors to your website you need to include a short description of what you are offering on the first and last page of the report. It works best if you direct readers to a squeeze page for your newsletter or email course for the product you are selling so that you can send multiple follow up messages.
By far the most popular and reliable format for viral reports is PDF because its compatible with all types of computers and the documents always look exactly the same for all senders and receivers regardless of the hardware or software used which is important if you want to reach as many people as possible.
If you have already written articles about a specific topic you can easily create a viral ebook by grouping related articles together. If you have a sufficient amount of articles you can separate them into closely related topics and create multiple reports that all promote your newsletter or product.
A successful viral ebook provides useful content which has value because its beneficial but its incomplete and requires the reader to either subscribe to your newsletter or buy your product to get the rest of the information. The primary goal of your viral ebook is to collect new subscribers or up sell your products.
With so many different target markets available its impossible to be an expert in them all, but you can solve this problem by using PLR articles for multiple viral ebooks. This allows you to quickly and easily profit from smaller niche markets even if you have limited knowledge of the subject matter.
