Repurpose Content for Ebooks

After many days of research and painful writing, you have finally managed to put up an ebook. In fact, the success of this ebook has taken even you by surprise. And yet you know that your present audience is just a fraction of the actual audience that you could reach. You are however a little stumped as to how you can repurpose the content of your ebook to reach out to the others. Here is a quick guide on how you can repurpose the content of your ebook in various ways to reach the maximum number of people possible.

1.    You can break up your ebook into a number of articles, each one of them dealing with a specific topic. You can now post these articles online on related websites and provide a link back to your website or blog. You can submit the same article to as many article directories, as you want. This way you will maximize exposure for your article. You could also have them printed as a series of articles in print publications. This way even those who do not often browse the Internet will have a chance to read your article and know more about you. Of course, these articles also will mention your website and blog.
2.    A few of these articles can be put together as a special report. Shore it up with additional research and links and make it available for download for a nominal amount from your website. Rather than buy a whole ebook, people will be more willing to pay a lesser amount for just a brief report.
3.    Many people are too busy to browse through the Internet or read an ebook. In fact, they may not have the time to go through a series of long articles, online or in print. You could consider having audio recordings of your book made available in the form of downloads from the website or put on CDs.  In fact, many authors now have separate audio programs based on the book rather than just plain readings of the book. Many people like the idea of listening to a book as they can do it even when they are in the middle of some other activity. Like, someone could be cooking or driving but still manages to listen to the CD containing your ebook. In fact, if you present talks or give teleseminars based on your ebook, you could request that these be recorded. You could then stream these from your website so that people can listen to you instead of having to read your ebook.
4.    An ebook has plenty of content for you to break up into as many blog posts as you want. You can divide the content under several categories and come up with a number of posts under each one of them. To make the blog posts sound fresh and new, add a brief introduction and perhaps a summary. A few new links and perhaps some newly researched material will give you a solid post every time.
