Mini-Ebooks for Increasing the Size of Your Mailing List and Revenue

Does your business enterprise need a boost? You can try what all the other marketers have been using to improve their business.

Special reports?

A special report is an ebook that discusses one particular topic and nothing else. These short reports are less than 30 pages in length. If you have the know-how, you can write them yourself or hire a writing service to do it for you. It’s an internet marketing tool that isn’t too difficult to put together. One popular subject for special reports is how-tos. These reports are extremely useful, and potential customers usually cannot resist the offer of in-depth, step-by-step help on a particular topic .

Special Reports that Go Viral

Marketing your special report doesn’t need much brainstorming. You can use it to bribe the potential lead into signing up for your email list.

One way to use it is to create a five part course with the special report as the first part. The short report can be your bait. If a prospect wants the material inside the free short report, he has no choice but to join your list to get access to that information. Signing up for a business newsletter subscription can be the reason to give away a free special report.

Making Money

You can use your special reports as a tool for making money rather than newsletter bait. A sales page designed especially to market the report can be set up. Many reports sell for between $5 and $20 a piece, but if you offer very valuable information, you can command a higher price. Sell single reports or create various courses to interest your customers.

Exclusive Information

Insider secrets are a great topic for your special reports. People will pay the money for any information that gives them an edge over their competitors. You can use this information as a subject of your special reports.

Short Reports as Affiliate Tools

As your business grows, creating an affiliate program becomes a necessity. This gives customers a way to help you make more money and also make some for them. You can use special reports as incentives for sales.

As you can see, there are a number of ways to use special reports. As you build your lists, alternate the free promotional reports and continue to sell your entire library, creating combination offers such as Buy Two, Get One Free.

You can create nice reports using reviews too. Check out the following reviews and create some special reports:
