Earlier this year Jeff Dedrick open the doors for his free membership site Viral Ebook Explosion and I signed up to see just how good it really was.
To give you view inside and see what he gives his free members I'm posting the free video he gives his affiliates to use on their "Thanks for Subscribing" page. As you view the video you'll see the site's menu buttons on the left. The "Blue" buttons are the pages available to his free members and all but the "JV Blog Contest" are currently available. The "Green" buttons are for his paid members and all of the "Red" buttons have been removed and replaced with an "Upgrade" button.

So just how good is Viral Ebook Explosion?
Well I think it's 1 of the best kept secrets internet marketing secrets on the web and here's why.
- For his paying members there are at least 34 viral ebooks available to be branded. I think only a subset of this list is available to free members.
- All members get access to he free video tutorials that show you how to do everything on his site.
- He gives free products that include the Master Resell Rights available to his members.
- He has free software available to all his members.
- He offers a good affiliate program that pays through PayPal.
And in addition paying members - Get access to his tools to easily create opt-in pages and download pages. There are 7 templates to choose from.
- Get to host those pages on 1 of 5 of his sites.
- Get stats on how many times the download pages have been viewed, the ebook has been downloaded and the branded links has been clicked.
So what do you do with the branded ebooks?
- You can use them as a gift to subscribers when they join your list either on your site or in a giveaway. Here's an example of 1 I used.
- You can use them as free gifts to your existing subscribers. FriendsWhoCare subscribers can get "How to Bookmark for Free Traffic" inside our membership area.
- And because they're free you allow others to give them away. In fact, since the ebooks have your affiliate links inside you want them to be given away.
Now what I really like about being a paid member of Viral Ebook Explosion is that I don't have to keep track of the giveaway ebooks, the opt-in pages or the download pages. As many of my subscribers know, I am always losing things so having someone else keep those freebies and pages organized and available is a valuable asset for me. For example, I gave you a link to 1 of my Viral Ebook Explosion opt-in pages and made the download page available to my FriendsWhoCare subscribers. These pages were created months ago for a giveaway and since they and the free ebook are being hosted on 1 of Jeff's sites I don't have to worry about losing them. (Actually, I remove giveaway pages and products from my own site when a giveaway is over only to discover that some giveaways go on long after the closing date. But now I'm protected because if someone joins my list through an old giveaway page that I've forgotten about they can still get the product inside the membership area.)
The bottom line is that I highly recommend Viral Ebook Explosion as a viral marketing tool. If you have your own site and are better organized than I am you may find that the free membership is enough. However, if you lose things like I do then the cost of the paid membership can help you keep your sanity.
To Your Success,
Susan
