Despite the dizzying parade of giveaways that greet your eyeseach day, there is no denying the simple fact that giving awaysomething for free drives traffic your way. In many cases, we'reall happy for any traffic we can get.

It is no wonder that virtually in every website -- in our case,internet marketing -- that you visit, you'll be sure to find alarge ebook library offering up the latest and hottest releases.

DON'T JUST FOLLOW THE PARADE If you already have a mailing-listor website, you're likely eager to do the same. And there's therub: everybody else is thinking along the same lines. "Hey, I'lldo that, too!"

Wait a minute! Take a pause and think things through...

When it comes to giving away ebooks, there are a few butessential problems you should consider:

- practically everyone is giving them away - there is astaggering amount of ebooks already out there - they varygreatly in quality (a needle in a haystack!)

On that note, I am going to share with you a few pointers thathave helped me decide whether an ebook is worth giving away ornot.

its Author

There's nothing like a big name to stamp instant credibilityonto any ebook before you've even read it. But not everyone isfamiliar with the big names in their respective niches.

Try to get an idea of who the author is, either by visitingtheir homepage through the links in the ebook or by performing asimple search online. You may get dazzled and excited at howestablished and renowned the author is, or wonder why you can'tfind a single trace. All the same, read the ebook! You'll get amuch better feel of the author, not just as a knowledgeableexpert but also as a real person.

Is the author distant? impersonal? formal? Or is he/she relaxed?personable? friendly?

For me the answer to these questions bear a lot of weight whendeciding whether or not to recommend, promote and -- perhaps inthe long run -- sign up as an affiliate, if such a program isavailable. I would want to interact, communicate and do businesswith someone who is not only professional but also friendly,open, and approachable. Wouldn't you?

Does the author have something unique to share? How well doeshe/she communicate ideas?

In this case, many ebooks are repetitions or slight variationsof the same subject. A good rule of thumb is to choose the ebookwhose author covers the subject best.

Scope & Depth of Content

You may think that because you're not yet very familiar with thesubject of the ebook that you cannot possibly assess the qualityof the content. Believe me, you can!

Whether it's instinct or intuition, you can tell whether there'ssomething to the material or not, merely by reading between thelines. You will see the difference between a mere rephrasing ofan idea with nothing new to add, from a truly unique perspectiveand improvement of old time-proven methods or techniques.

How wide and how deep does it go? Is it merely a generaloverview? Does it get down to step-by-step gritty details?

Your decision will depend on what you want to achieve with thegiveaway. You may want it to complement an article on yourwebsite, for example, so you would want it more detailed. Orperhaps you want to use it only as an introduction to yourproduct.

This is a technique commonly employed by many pros. It is highlyrecommended by Terry Dean in his article "Give First & ProveYour Worth." Give away a high-quality ebook that provides ageneral but sufficient overview of a topic, and still providesplenty of valuable information. Your main product, in turn,reveals the full, in-depth, and detailed step-by-stepinstructions.

Reader Accessibility

Consider your intended recipient. Check whether or not thesubject itself is familiar or of any interest to them. If not,is it explained in such a way that they can easily comprehendit? Also, is it closely related to the information they ask for?This simple check ensures that you do not alienate (or annoy)any of your readers.

Even if you have not written the ebook yourself, it would be aconsiderate gesture on your part to go over it and make surethat they have the best experience with your giveaway. Itconveys the fact that you are genuinely looking after theirbenefit and not merely pushing an ebook for your own ends.

On the technical side of things, it is worth checking the formatin which it is compiled. EXE is accessible only to PC users, notto MAC. PDF, on the other hand, is accessible to both.

Layout & Organization

Just as in your website design and content, you want to giveyour audience the best experience possible with your giveaway.Consider questions like these:

Is the ebook organized sensibly? Can you find your way throughits contents? Are you faced with a sea of text? Is it divided inneat sections? Is the font type & size comfortable for reading?Are the colors distracting? neutral? unintrusive?

You may not mind these things yourself, but it doesn't hurt tomake sure that, like your website, what you give away is equallyattractive and professional-looking as well as informative.

In introducing the ebook to them, mention your impressions ofthe material and its presentation so that they know what toexpect. When your intended recipient opens the ebook, he/shedoes won't frown and wonder what it is that you have given away.Better safe than sorry...

Freshness

Depending on your niche, freshness can be a major decidingfactor on your choice. On the one hand, certain subjects don'tget outdated: old time-proven concepts, inspirational writings,etc. And on the other, applications of concepts and ideasonline, for example, are affected by changing trends anddevelopments in technologies. Collections of resources or links,for example, would warrant a thorough check online.

Your Own Assessment

This is one of the most important points to consider because youare responsible for what you give away to your visitors, in oneway or another. Never use your audience merely for your ownends. Don't shove anything just to get them to sign up, so youcan sell to them.

If you want to be truly successful, you must build a goodreputation for yourself online. You achieve this out of agenuine intention to be of help to your target audience.

Give them something that you know will benefit them. Be someonewho is ethical, trustworthy, and dependable. It will go a longway to benefit both parties. They will know that everytime theyvisit your website for information, they can always be confidentof the value you provide. Having read the ebook, ask yourself:

How do you personally feel about it? Has it taught you somethingnew? Has it revealed something you've overlooked? Would youhappily recommend it to others? Would you stand behind it 100%?

IN CONCLUSION All things considered, always remember that yourtarget audience comes first. By offering them only giveaways ofhigh value and quality information, you can successfully build arelationship that will not only benefit them, but you and yourbusiness for many years to come.
