This allows you to build your email list and potentially generate new leads.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Thought-Leadership<\/strong> \u2013 Obviously, one of the hardest tasks to accomplish is establishing yourself as a leader in your industry. By publishing and sharing an eBook, you can position yourself as an authority in your niche.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Share Your Business With Customers <\/strong>\u2013 One of the biggest problems with growing your business may simply be that your potential customers do not understand what you\u2019re offering. With an eBook that thoroughly explains your products or services, and their benefits, you can help your clientele understand what you offer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Build Your Brand <\/strong>\u2013 Whether you are selling products, services, your business or yourself, building your personal brand is an essential part of positioning yourself as someone that consumers can trust and look to.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Offer Expertise <\/strong>\u2013 Whatever your area of specialty may be, an eBook can help you share your valuable expertise with your target audience, which further builds trust and establishes you as an authority in your niche.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Using PDF eBooks for List Building &amp; Lead Generation<\/h2>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.copyblogger.com\/ebook-marketing\/\">simplest type of eBook<\/a> comes in a PDF format, and can be created using your average Microsoft Word or other writing program. These are great for small business marketing because\u00a0other than the writing part, they can be put together relatively easily.<\/p>\n<p>Simply use whatever <a href=\"http:\/\/www.reviews.com\/email-marketing-services\/free\/\">email program<\/a> that you prefer (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.aweber.com\/\">AWeber<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/mailchimp.com\/\">MailChimp<\/a>, etc.) to create a popup or sign up form to capture emails and have it redirect to a hidden page or post on your website.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This allows you to easily build and grow your emailing list and generate leads without having to sit and send out each copy of your eBook individually.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For those who are already on your email list, simply send out a special newsletter advertising the free eBook download.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pixabay.com\/static\/uploads\/photo\/2015\/05\/26\/22\/33\/kindle-785686_960_720.jpg\" alt=\"Kindle, Paper White, Book, Device, Glasses, E-Book\" width=\"627\" height=\"418\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Publishing on Amazon Kindle for Authority &amp; Profit<\/h2>\n<p>For the more experienced business marketers, you may want to consider publishing on <a href=\"https:\/\/kdp.amazon.com\/help?topicId=A2VHRJZXET0TWT\">Amazon Kindle<\/a> for eReaders. This option offers the chance to e<strong>stablish your authority, share valuable information and still make a profit<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>That is not to mention, Amazon also offers a free preview of the first few pages.
