What I saw in Internet Marketing niche in Malaysia nowadays are everyone eager to write an e-book. I can say it’s great for one site and from another side, I would say the input is a crap (no offense to anyone).
Free e-book is great when you put 100% effort to do that. I have made several free e-books, some are good and some did not go well.
When creating a free e-book, you must be honest to your potential readers, what do you know and what you don’t know, put it in that e-book. Give a great value to your e-book. Remember, even it’s free; the readers are your potential customers. Once they found that the e-book is really helpful, for sure when you promote something, they will buy your upcoming products.
Don’t just make an e-book that is ready to be deleted. You get what I mean right 
Here I give you some ideas how to make your free e-book looks great, and you too can make money from your e-book. I will give 3 points for this post, and then I’ll follow up some new points.
Usually to get your free e-book, the readers should subscribe to your website right? It’s a common step for follow up with your products but remember, you should remind them again in your free e-book. Put it simple like this, at your second or third page of your e-book, make a table and a hyperlink. Just put “Have you registered your free e-book? If not, go to this link below”.
The hyperlink should redirect them to the squeeze page where they can put their name and e-mail again. Also, remind that again at the bottom of your free e-book.
Make it viral. When they read your free e-book, give them options to give it away for free. Oops, this technique does not look great I think Give your readers an option to sell it at any price. So now it goes viral!
Put an affiliate link related to the content of your free e-book. Maybe you can make a resource page? Don’t go more than 10 affiliate links as it will make them a bit confuse which method should they try. Also remember, make your affiliate link look professional.
I think if you combine just these 3 techniques, you have created a value to your e-book readers! Cheers!
