The other is about building a your business cash flow and funnel, but both questions are good for long term success. So, which approach is better for you and the growth of your online business? Before I answer this question here is what you need to know...
Don't Fall On The Corporate Trap.
Many online and offline fortune 500 and 1000 companies use viral ebook in their Internet marketing tactics, and you maybe think that a beginner like you can learn a lot from their campaigns... They teach you that successful viral ebooks marketing...
- Need to increase brand awareness.
- Needs to provide full contact information on leads.

The use viral marketing like TV advertising, mass mailing, radio advertising, and national newspaper ads, and just they get a lot of leads for their products by advertising the free ebooks or whitepapers on top websites, but they don't know exactly how leads turn into sales because of the ebook, because most of them don't use interactive links that direct potential buyers to the order or more information page, not even their site homepage. They relay on estimates and not accurate conversion data.
As Internet marketing beginners you can't use their methods of developing viral ebooks, you need to be able to test and track all your campaign data for better analysis of what really made your readers take action, which link do they click on, what was the anchor (link description text) of that link, on what part of your infoproduct that link was located, etc...
