Marketing information products, or e-books, is one of the best ways to make money online. The first thing you should do is research about what the market wants to read in an e-book. After you write your e-book, you need to get traffic to your website that sells your e-book.

What is one of the best ways to get more visitors to buy your e-book?

Articles are the perfect solution. Use the keyword phrases from your e-book to write a series of articles on the same topic. Include a link at the end of each article to encourage visitors to visit your website. Add a brief bio about the author. Best of all, offer a free (but valuable!) "ethical bribe" to encourage visitors to your site.

Lets say your article offers tips on saving money. At the end of your article, add a couple of sentences that encourage visitors to your site. For example, "Stephen Beck has written extensively on ways to enjoy a lavish wedding on a minimal budget. Visit his website to get your free report on Saving Money While Still Having a Great Wedding. Click here for your free copy."

By clicking on that link, customers are taken to your single page website advertising your e-book. A pop-up requests their name and e-mail address, allowing you to send them a free report on saving money. Not only do you collect contact information, but you benefit from a steady stream of visitors to your website, all fascinated by your topic.

After your articles are complete, they will help you create a massive e-book promotion. Send articles to article directories, blogs, e-zines " anywhere you can. Heres a hint: Webmasters love fresh, new, free articles to add to their websites. It doesnt matter that you have a link to your own website.

By adding articles to webpages and blogs, you gained a reputation as an expert in your field. The backward links (at the bottom of each article) increase traffic to your website, while increasing your ranking in the search engines. This drives a stream of visitors to your webpage, increasing e-book sales.
