It‟s pretty easy to create a good quality free report. A viral report I created YEARS ago is still floating around the internet and I still get traffic from them to my sites because of the links I have inside the reports.
You can do some research and create an ebook (or audio) about a particular subject in your niche or get someone else to create it, or select some of your best articles and make them into a special ebook or audio.
You can scatter a handful of affiliate links or links to your websites and products throughout the ebook or report. This is great for traffic.
Now to help an ebook go viral, it is a good idea to allow your subscribers to brand the ebook, with their name, company name, URL and an ad on the first page, as this will encourage them to share the ebook with their lists and you’ll benefit from the traffic generated through the links in the inside of the book.
To help an audio go viral, offer other webmasters a free ad in the audio, in exchange for them giving away the audio to their list. This strategy would also work for the ebook as well.
The potential traffic these viral methods can generate is staggering. Imagine if you got 20 webmasters, with lists of over 1,000 people, to give away your audio or ebook, then 20,000 would have had the opportunity to see your ads.
Now, if you came out with a new audio or ebook every month and more and more webmasters distribute them, they could be seen by hundreds of thousands of people. Can you see the avalanche of traffic coming your way?
Also make sure that you submit the free ebook to free ebook directories and the audio to podcasting directories to kick off the traffic flow.
