which ebook subscription system do you use? | Bloggers Lair | Yakezie Forums

Hey all,

I have searched through the forum's history and I don't think this has been covered. (forgive me if it has).

I am putting the finishing touches on my first ebook (yay!) and I am curious how some of you set up a system to use the ebook to get subscriptions. I want to see a huge boost in my subscribers and after (countless) hours of work, I am close to the end of finishing this ebook. But, I don't know how to set it up that those who subscribe get a free copy of my ebook.

I would like to use my feedburner account, but there doesn't seem to be a second email option (to send them the link to download the ebook once they activate their link). Am I missing something? I want to avoid inputting in the activation email because some people may not activate if they get my ebook without having to activate.

Would I have to create a landing page page of sorts to host for my ebook? If this is the case, is there any way to automate this? Is seems like there should be.

I appreciate your thoughts on this. I hope you are prepared for my ebook!

Great tips. Thanks. I have included several links to articles, but I will check about affiliate links before I publish it.

Good for you with the e-book.

If you're concerned about people getting the e-book without subscribing, then make sure that you benefit even if they send it to a buddy.  Have lots of links back to your site, especially to posts that have affiliate links in them.  If your affiliate program allows it, put the affiliate links directly in the e-book.

When I get mine ready to go, I'll be putting my link in the welcome e-mail for my newsletter.

Yes! Fantastic! Thank you so much sooverdebt! That is so helpful. Perfect. :)

You could just make a page in Wordpress that is hidden from your site navigation. Get a plugin to put messages in your RSS footers so only subscribers would get the link.

Okay, I did all of those things, but I can't see the RSS footer. Would you be able to offer any advice? Thanks

Not really. This ebook is intended to increase my subscriptions, not to sell. We'll see if this happens. :)  My second ebook, which is in the planning phase will be more extensive and I plan to try and sell that one for a fee.

Have you looked at e-junkie?

Yes, I looked into that. Unfortunately I can't afford that right now. Hopefully my site will grow to a point where I can provide that kind of quality service.

Aweber is good for that.
