A Viral PDF Strategy for Passive Income

Today I want to talk to you about viral PDFs. If you think you know enough about this topic already, answer this question... Are you using Viral PDFs in your business currently?

I never have in 17 years, but that will change this year.


First I'd like to explain a little about Viral PDFs, then I'll show you the easiest way to create a special kind of viral PDF and earn a passive income with it.

What is a Viral PDF?

Whether you are an affiliate marketer, or you have products of your own that you’re promoting, you need something to give away to potential buyers. A PDF giveaway can be extremely helpful in generating an income for you if you can get it to enough people. A viral PDF accomplishes that. 

PDFs are very popular as they can easily be downloaded instantly to eReaders, iPhones, iPads, etc. Now I'm sure you've downloaded an ebook or PDF before, but more than likely you got it from the original creator. That's not really viral.

A truly viral PDF is one that spreads itself across the web and gets you sales and subscribers on auto-pilot, 24 hours a day. 

Yes, there are many marketers who generate literally thousands of new subscribers per week, and thousands of dollars in sales and commissions using just viral PDFs.

You just need to understand how they're doing it, then you can get in on the profits using your own PDF.

First Things First: Creating Your PDF -- Here's What To Write

If you already have your own products, you should have no problem coming up with a free report that gives people critical information about your niche. I suggest you use the freely available OpenOffice Writer program to create a short report, as OpenOffice makes converting your report to PDF format drop-dead simple. 

If you are an affiliate marketer, then you can simply write a "buyer’s guide" to a product in the niche you're working in. Buyers guides are very popular with consumers. 

What goes into a great report or buyer’s guide? 

First, you want to start with the needs of the customer. Empathize with them about the solution they’re seeking. For example, if you were in the diet niche, you would start off by empathizing with them over their fat loss efforts – what it’s like to feel tired, overweight, frustrated, etc. 

After you go over their situation, you can explain what your PDF will be doing – primarily, presenting the best solutions for their needs. You can talk about action steps they need to take to accomplish their goals. You can talk about the best products available to speed their progress, giving the prospective buyer a look into the features, drawbacks, consumer praises and more. 

One you have a report or buyers guide that you yourself would consider helpful, valuable and worthy of sharing with others, you simply convert it into a PDF. In OpenOffice Writer, you simply choose 'File', 'Export as PDF' and you're done! 

The final step is to get an eCover for $5 at Fiverr.com which can help you deliver a more polished look. 

How To Make It Viral, and Make Money...

Once your PDF is done, you need to turn it into subscribers and dollars. There are lots of ways to do that when you get it spreading virally.

The secret to going viral is to give others permission to give it away as a gift. Let them use it to grow their opt-in lists, let them share it on Facebook, Twitter and anywhere else they want. Make sure your PDF clearly states that you encourage them to give it away as their own special gift.

The next important step is to offer them branding rights so they can change some of the links in the PDF to their OWN links. If they buy the branding rights, you make money. If they decide not to, then they spread the PDF with your links and you can earn through those.

Plus, each person they share the PDF with is also encouraged to share and/or brand it, and that's when it can get exciting.

Now if you're not comfortable with creating PDF's, setting up a viral strategy, a branding offer, thank you pages and all that jazz, there's a really neat tool that makes everything plug-and-play. It's called Viral PDF Generator and it's the secret tool of lots of the most profitable, viral PDFs.

I've posted two short bonus videos below from the creator of the tool. The videos walk you through the seven steps to viral PDF creation and profiting from your reports using his PDF Generator.

Even if you're not interested in purchasing his tool, I suggest you watch these videos. They share the psychology behind viral PDFs and why branding is so lucrative for many marketers. While you watch the videos, I challenge you to brainstorm how his techniques could be adapted into your own niche...
