Learn how to use Amazon Kindle free eBooks to start building your author brand and platform so you can start writing eBooks for passive income.<\/em><\/p>\n

Did you know that nearly a third of published authors earn less than $500 annually<\/a> from their work, and over half of writers are dissatisfied with their writing income?<\/p>\n

According to Kevin McLaughlin<\/a>, a professional novelist and a double USA Today bestselling author, “Authors who keep working at their writing skills and producing new words constantly tend to earn a decent living, but it takes time to get there.”<\/p>\n

The fact is, selling eBooks on Amazon is not easy and most authors struggle to sell books, so the few high-profile successes we hear about are outliers, not the norm.<\/p>\n

If there\u2019s anything we can take away from this dismal earnings report, it\u2019s that writing eBooks for passive income is much harder than it looks.<\/p>\n

3 reasons why free eBooks work so well<\/h2>\n

One of the most successful personal branding techniques is building a list with free eBooks. If you’re writing an eBook to build an author brand<\/a>, you want as many people to get their hands on it as possible.<\/p>\n

The best way to achieve this is to make it almost impossible for someone to turn down your offer by giving it away for free. Here are some reasons why free eBooks are the best “Reader Magnets<\/a>“.<\/p>\n

#1. People hate being sold to<\/h3>\n

People have grown very tired of being “sold to”.\u00a0 If you hit them directly with a sales pitch, they will usually stop listening almost as soon as the pitch starts.<\/p>\n

However, building a brand with free eBooks is all about a much more subtle sales pitch. The content in the book will serve as your marketing pitch disguised as content that your reader actually wants to read.<\/p>\n

When you write a good eBook, your readers will be interested and intrigued to find out what additional knowledge you have that would be helpful to them and be more likely to click on the links in your eBook.<\/p>\n

#2. Free eBooks build instant credibility<\/h3>\n

Perhaps the most important aspect of using an eBook is that it paints you as an expert in your field.\u00a0If you blow your readers away with the great content in the book, you’ll develop instant credibility with them.<\/p>\n

Being a “published” author also gives the impression that you’re a respected source of information on the topic of the book.<\/p>\n

If you have your name on an eBook that can be downloaded online, people are much more likely to view you as a trusted source of information in your industry.<\/p>\n

#3. Free eBooks serve as a teaser<\/h3>\n

Writing an eBook is a great teaser to provide your readers with quality content that’s actually helpful to them on the topic they’re studying.<\/p>\n

However, the key is to find the balance between providing quality content and leaving them with a few unanswered questions that will make them want to click over to your website or subscribe to your newsletter to find out what else you can teach them.<\/p>\n
