What would be the SEO benefits of using Lulu ? (ebook)

[Ericc22]

Hi there, how are you guys doing?

We wrote an ebook to promote our new website and I was investigating the idea of putting it on Lulu. Did anyone ever use Lulu? If so, do you have any feedback please?

I got a free ISBN number on Lulu and it looks like I may be able to distribute it on Amazaon.

Also, I'm giving out the ebook for free.

Thanks guys! I hope you're having a great day

Hey Ericc -

Thanks for your question! Could you expand a bit more on what you mean by SEO benefits of using Lulu? I used to work in publishing and know some people who have published through Lulu. I believe you are correct that you can distribute on Amazon through it, as I think they use Ingram as their provider/carrier/lister.

If I were you, I think publishing through Lulu is fine, but I'd also get a copy of it and put it on your site. If your site has a decent following, maybe try running a social campaign around it to get more traction. The "Free Download" title often will help get downloads as well.

So I'd recommend putting it on your site. You may be able to get a link back to your site from Lulu (I'm not sure about this), which would be a quality link as it's a strong domain, so if you can do this send the link to your eBook-specific page.
