I'm seriously considering dumping my previous plan of building a great blog, community, earning trust and then selling an ebook about training for visitors. This is so typical and so unoriginal. Plus, I'm reading What Would Google Do by Jeff Jarvis and it says free content is gonna be more and more popular and that "Free is a business model".
So I'm thinking, maybe I should say, screw the money, I just will give out the ebook (and I will make sure it's a good one, not some s.it info). That should definitely build more trust, popularity and would help more people (skinny guys gaining muscle).
So I'm thinking, should I switch and just include affiliate links in the ebook, write reviews on the blog and maybe get some sponsorship from some company, instead of charging visitors (and would just take their email address instead of money). This probably wouldn't make much money, but would be making a bigger impact, helping more...
Anyone else read "What Would Google Do"? Or tried free as a business model. Looks like it can be the next step in business. Jeff Jarvis, Seth Godin, even Gary Vaynerchuk a bit agress with it...
