How to Get Subscribers With E-books

Build a Powerful Online Presence
Many aspiring online entrepreneurs have launched their careers only to wonder if anybody was out there. Great websites and blogs have been created that see almost no traffic. If being ignored was the goal, they'd win first prize!
The most successful blogs went from obscurity to a traffic-jam (that's a good thing) by trial and error. Their creators had a voracious hunger to learn how to make it all work. As they learned, they began to share their wealth of knowledge with others, elevating them to expert status.
Want to capture the attention of an audience who will visit your website over and over again? Then, there are a few experts that you must meet.
I would like to introduce you to:
Darren and Leo very successful, generous online writers, each with a unique skill. They will quickly become your heroes. Each freely shares a wealth of knowledge of online writing, experience in monetizing, inspiration, encouragement and top quality information. No fluff. No hype. They're the real deal.
We'll learn about these experts over a series of Hubs starting with Zen Habits designer, Leo Babauta.

Leo Babauta absolutely opened my eyes to two marvelous truths:
- Content truly is King!
- Give your best and the best will come back to you.
When I started online writing, I had a passion to write for readers whose lives would be BETTER from reading my work. I also had a deep desire to make money doing it, which would give me a permission to put time into writing more. I learned how to start a blog. I experimented with features and realized that I didn't know nearly enough. I had to find out how to do this.
Don't ask me how I found it but somehow I came across Zen Habits. I loved the site but had no idea what I had really stumbled upon. Signing up for newsletters had become a regular part of my routine. I didn't want to miss any good training that might be out there. But when I joined Leo's site, I hit paydirt. I mean it. The most valuable information I have ever received online was being offered on his website as a free gift.
Now, please don't leave this page just yet. I know you're just itching to go over there and get this e-book but stick with me for a few more minutes. It'll still be there and I will provide you with a convenient link right to the site!
The e-book "How I got 100,000 Subscribers in Two Years " was the "thank you gift" for signing up for the e-mailing list. When I got this amazing training manual, I was stunned. It was a powerful, methodical tutorial to success. A "how to" that, when followed faithfully, can eventually lead you to star-status. Mind you, a great blog must consist of premier content or readers will drift away, but quality sites with fresh content WILL grow when following Leo's simple instructions.

And now...the E-BOOK!
Would you believe that Leo’s original blog, Zen Habits (dot net, not dot com), had almost no readers just three short years ago? He now enjoys a subscribership of over 200,000 readers and Time Magazine included Zen as one of America’s top 25 blogs two years in a row! That is impressive.
His FREE e-book is offered on a sister-site called A-List Blogging Bootcamps. The site introduces his blogging academy, shared with expert editor and blogger Mary Jaksch, and also offers a free download of his priceless e-book, “How I Got 100,00 Subscribers in Two Years: Lessons from Zen Habits.”
When I first saw it, I knew that was it! It was just what I was looking for but didn’t know I could find! I printed it out and clipped it with a big, black binder clip. Carrying it home very carefully…it is a treasure, I tell you…I got myself ready. I poured a cup of hot coffee, grabbed the cordless phone, hooked up our two yellow labs, Lexi & Troy, on their tethers and sat on my front porch reading and reading it again.
“Oh my goodness,” I exclaimed “I can do this!” “This is just what I was looking for!” I added. I was having my own little celebration. I have read and re-read this ebook over and over and learn something new every time. I think as you gain more experience, you see different things. There’s a learning curve. So, when you re-read it, you understand more and new things pop out at you.
When you get your own copy, now titled “How I Got 150,00 Subscribers…”, you’ll notice that the e-book cover is simple. It could have been produced on a word-processing program. The point is, content is key.
Here are the juicy titles of the first chapters of Leo’s 16-page, powerfully-FREE e-book:
- Anyone Can Do This
- The Beginning: No goals, No money
- Early Success
- Enthusiastic Early Readers
- Branding
- Flooding the Market
- Posting Frequently, Finding the Time
You get the point. So now, please tweet and like this hub. Follow me. Subscribe to my RSS. Leave a nice comment. Then, go download your e-book: “How I Got 100,000 Subscribers in Two Years” and learn from the expert!

I have read a few e-books about online marketing before and I will check this out too! I can see you are good at this:) Rated up and useful!
voted up and beautiful! Well written and flowing, informative hub. Such a pleasure to read and I must say you've convinced me. Now to download the e-book per your instruction...
Sinea,
I love Zen habits and its message! So inspirational since I have been huge reader of both of these prolific bloggers!
Thanks for the terrific info! I voted "up" and "useful", and I'm next on my way to follow that link and learn more. JAYE
The free e-book, "How I Got 100,000 Subscribers in Two Years" is not available at that link...or, at least, I could not find it. That title, with a photo of Leo is at the site, but in grayscale, not a link. The info that is printable is not what I was expecting, not anything I haven't read before. Would you please check on your link and, if I missed the free e-book with great content, tell me how to get it? Thanks. JAYE
Great post! Chock full of helpful information - I will definitely check out a couple of the titles at your recommendation Sinea! Voted up and useful!!!
This is great! I was wondering about E-books and their popularity and this has really inspired! Thanks for the information.
I will have to check this book out. Thanks for the link.
Problogger and Zen Habits are 2 of my all time favorite blogs. Those 2 guys are brilliant. And, yes, ebooks is just one of their pieces that's made them such a success. Even for a smaller author, giving away a free ebook just gets your name out there is a very good thing!
Great Hub...voted up!
Thanks!
Haha, great hub! I have to ask. Just how did you keep those two yellow labs on their tethers? I have a yellow lab and he'll drag the house with him if he could! ;) Thanks for the info.
Very interesting Sinea. Voted up and useful. I'm finding it all a bit overwhelming as my techno-vocab is not very good. It's like learning a foreign language! I'm still trying to find out how to put a 'Join HubPages' link into my profile so that I can lure people to start writing and take part. No luck so far. Can you point me in the right direction?
Good to read and confirms what I've been needing, meaning, wanting to do -- pull together some of my hubs and other original content into a free ebook. I GOTTA DO IT!
Thank you for the info. Very kind of you. Will investigate it shortly.
Very insightful.
I have an idea for meditation in three parts.
The first part will be written
The second part will be reciting positive Chhristian mantras with the pan flute playing in the background. (To get people to buy it they will be offered five minutes for free.
Then three visual videos 9one on top of a jungle mountain, one in front of a waterfalls and one at a beach during sunrise.( I will offer all three for the price of two.)
They are still being made but I would like to ask you if you think these are good ideas and if you know how I could make my own e-book for free.
I am looking forward to your wise advice.
Thanks
Hi Sinea
Sorry for the rooster talking with duck. (that is a Chinese saying . It means I say this you hear that. Like I say apples and you hear tomatoes.
Please allow me to explain again.
From reading your article you sound like you really know a lot about publishing. So I was asking if you thought the idea of offering three tapes for the price of two was a good idea?
Do you know where I can find resources to create an e book?
Once again, sorry for the rooster talking with duck and thank you for taking the time to reply
God bless you.
Thank you Sinea for your patience and gracious wise advice.
God bless you
Yeah me too.
Helping others really makes my day. I love to watch their faces brighten up.
