Submitting your ebook to ebook directories will generate steady sales. Many webmasters search ebook directories for ebooks that will add value to their web site. You can get a lot of traffic and sales from listing your ebook in ebook directories and resource pages of related web sites.

There are many different types of directories. Some directories provide free listings while others charge a listing fee. Still others want a link to their website before adding you to their directory.

Become familiar with the different types of directories and read the submission guidelines before you start submitting your ebook. Following the guidelines of a directory will improve your chances of obtaining a good listing.

Here's some preparation you need to do before submitting your ebook.

Step 1: Create a web page.

You will need a web page where people can download your ebook. Make your headlines and sales copy compelling even if you're giving away a free ebook.

Step 2: Design a great ebook cover.

You need a quality ebook cover to sell the ebook. Even a free giveaway ebook needs a quality cover. It gives your ebook a "tangible" feel. A well-designed cover can double or even triple your ebook sales and downloads.
