EBooks

Writing eBooks is not that difficult especially if the niche market you are in is your passion.  You can write about anything you want as long as it is related to your niche.  Some people think that writing eBooks is difficult and it is only for savvy people.  This is far from the truth.  The Internet has proven that people do not like to read books from savvy people.  Ordinary people like things that are simplified.  They do not want to exercise their minds reading something difficult.  So the key to succeed at writing eBooks is to simplify the information to the reader, which is not that difficult.

EBooks are very useful when promoting your website.  EBooks can go viral and many people can read them.  When you are writing yours, make sure you add links back to your website in the footer of every page and within your content.  Submit your eBook to eBook directories and let people read it for free.  Also, allow others to share it with their friends and even give it away as a bonus or for e-mail marketing.  Remember that your eBook should not be written in difficult-to-understand English.  It should be written in easy-to-understand English.  This is make people read it.  This is a tried and tested method.

Videos

There are people that like to get information through reading and there are others who like to get it through watching.  You obviously need to please both categories. This is why videos are a good way to promote your website.  YouTube and other video directories or video based websites are getting more popular everyday.  All of them generate huge web traffic.  Having your videos there will certainly help at driving targeted traffic to your website.

Podcasting

In addition to people that like to read and those who like to watch, there are those who like to listen.  Podcasting will help you reach out for this category of people.  Podcasting is about creating audio files and allowing others to download and listen to them.  It is an effective way to promote your website because people can listen to your podcasts anywhere.  For example, they can listen to them while jogging.  That will help them get the most out of your podcasts and probably take the desired action behind your podcasts.

Viral Marketing

When an article or a video goes viral, millions of people read and watch it.  If you can achieve that, you will drive a lot of traffic to your website.  Most videos that go viral are about celebrities, fun, entertainment, etc.  If you can find a clever and funny idea to promote your own video or article, then you will surely achieve great virality online.
