How to Buy an Ebook for a Friend

I’m Obsessed With Books

I’m obsessed with books. I love how a great story can whisk you out of reality and into another world. A character’s journey can lead you to search within yourself to see areas where you can grow and be better. A great how-to or self-improvement book can literally change your life. Even if you only apply the new principles you learned for a few days, it makes those days that much better.

Even more, I’m a fan of gifting books.

I know not everyone is into reading. Not everyone is into coffee or alcohol either, yet they still make very popular gifts. Sharing a book with someone feels like sharing a piece of myself. It’s a way of saying, this book brought me joy or changed me, and now I want you to have it.

EBooks Make Great Affordable Gifts

With my direct sales business, I have over 200 customers in my customer list, and there was a time when I had over 50 team members. Gift-giving is one of my love languages, but I simply couldn’t afford to mail everyone a gift. That’s where ebooks make an incredible and affordable present! I figured out that when an ebook I love is on sale, I could buy a TON of copies. Then, at Christmas time, I could just spend a couple of hours emailing everyone their gifts!

In my email, I let them know their book code was redeemable for three months. If it never got redeemed, I could either return it to Amazon, or gift it to someone else. Because I didn’t want to hurt the author, I chose to simply gift it to someone else several months later. A couple of reminder emails is helpful, too. How often do we plan to get back to something later and then completely forget?
