How to promote an eBook

Let’s say that you would like to create an eBook and sell it. One way: You can write the book and post it to the Kindle store on Amazon.

The better way is to create a web site that pushes your eBook hard, and then drive traffic to the web site. These eBook web sites all seem to have a similar feel/style, and similar elements. Here is an example of one:
