• If you want your ebook to become a viral marketing tool then offer the ebook for anyone to download. Create a landing page/announcement post on your blog with specifics about your ebook and of course the download link. Ask readers to download and offer their opinions on your ebook; to distribute or recommend it to their peers. Include a link to the download/landing page in your email signature, forum signatures and anywhere else online where your ebook could be publicized.
• If you want to increase subscribers as a result of distributing your ebook,  offer the download link through the footer of your RSS feed. Both WordPress and Blogger offer the means to add content to the footer of your blog feed. Alternatively, create a Feedflare to use with Feedburner which includes the link to your free ebook.

•  I suggest you create that awesome eBook and give it 100% free. By 100% I mean no opt-in required.
