sites like YouTube.

other people they know.

web site, so people can follow them and buy your product.

and get credit for any referrals to the site that lead to a sale.

generate interest. Include specific instructions on how to get to
your web site.

of you can cover more ground and market both your sites to better
advantage.

with your ebook and then include links back to your page. You’ll
also earn a little money from ads as a bonus.

leave your site and never come back. Instead, use links to help
people navigate around your site.
