What is a Mini E-Book?

People often ask “what is a mini e-book” and why is it important in the scheme of my business? To answer the question of “what is a mini e-book?”: a mini e-book is a 5-25 page executable file or PDF document that discusses a very specific topic. While the mini e-book has become wildly popular as an Internet marketing tool, it is also used in non-IM niches.

A mini e-book can be used for a number of different purposes. In general, however, a mini-ebook is usually used to convey a very specific – and little known – secret about a niche topic, whether it be car waxing or pet care.

What is a mini e-book and how is it different from a regular ebook? A mini e-book is smaller than a regular e-book because it doesn’t aim to be comprehensive. Instead, it concentrates on providing highly-specific, crucial information about a specific technique or idea. Successful publishers will often going beyond a pre-set scope in their mini e-book.

While smaller than a normal e-book, it can still be sold through the same avenues. For instance, publishers who start by asking “what is a mini e-book?” often end up asking “where can I sell such a product”? It’s simple: they can open a vendor account at http://www.clickbank.com, pay the $50 initial product fee, and then begin selling any amount of mini e-books.

Additionally, a mini e-book publisher can also give his or her product away completely free of charge in order to generate traffic. This is often employed by skilled Internet marketers, who will coordinate a massive free give away – and then include some back-end component to return readers to their sites.

So what is a mini e-book and why is it important? It’s a short book or report on a specific topic that either generates revenue or facilitates traffic generation.

    Hi,

    I’ve been reading and enjoying your blog for sometime now. I love how your posts truly connect to your readership. I’m interested to have an interactive/link-up/post with you. I’ve written a book that you and your audience might enjoy and am preparing to do a virtual blog tour and would love an opportunity to participate on your blog.

    However, my young adult book ‘Turtle Feet, Surfer’s Beat’ is only a small part of what I’m trying to build. The book itself revolves around a typical suburban teen girl, Penelope, from the States that is forced to go to Costa Rica with her parents for her father’s job assignment. Involuntarily, her parents sign up Penelope and her little brother to spend two weeks at the Leatherback turtle biological station (for ‘their own good’). Penelope, obviously isn’t pleased but forgives the horrid accommodations and the never ending bug brigade as she sees the turtle and instantly pledges to do all she can to help it from extinction. But hang ten, dudes! Penelope is about to get help. One lonely night, as she’s patrolling the beach for turtle poachers she stumbles and falls directly into the arms of the local surf champ. Together they dive into the world of surfing and marine preservation.

    These days, we are constantly facing global problems that seem to be getting worse and worse daily. Living in Costa Rica, I’ve been inspired to take action. I started by writing this book and am now developing a community of teens, surfers, artists, scientist, and everyone else who is interested in working together to have fun while helping out.

    I would love to join forces with you and your readers in a fun, interactive way. I will gladly write a post about your blog (and whatever you will like to plug:), plus a link with your blog to my website and blog, in return for a review of my book and/or small interview.

    Looking forward to hearing from you soon. I can get a copy out to you ASAP.
    Thanks so much,
    Marina Kuperman
