One of the viral marketing tools I use is giving away over half — the top half only — of my book "How to Retire Happy, Wild, and Free". (The top half is available as a PDF at http://www.real-success.ca/free_ebooks.html . Today if anyone types in "retirement" into Amazon.com's search engine, "How to Retire Happy, Wild, and Free" comes in the number 1 position — out of over 175,000 books that Amazon puts in the retirement category. Given that over 95 percent of the 190,000 books published in North America every year will never sell more than 5,000 copies, my book has done very well. Although largely ignored by the media, and rejected by over 35 American and British publishers, "How to Retire Happy, Wild, and Free" has now sold over 80,000 copies. Of course, word-of-mouth is still the most powerful advertising for any product or service. A great product or service creates its own viral marketing.
