Thread: Why I think that most ebooks to earn money are not worth anything

This is just my mind. You can believe it or not, you can think about it or not ...

I make Internet Business and Marketing since 2004 and i have read many ebooks about making money and how to make money, how i made $xxx in xx days or months.

The most ebooks for making money with websites, adsense, cpa or other stuff are mostly the same. There are just other authors and different ways and descriptions, but they are all the same.

The ebooks brings money to the authors and the readers are as clever as before reading the ebook. You can get many ideas from reading the books but if you use step by step instructions be sure, there are many others they will do exactly like that.

I make money in different ways but there is no way that makes to a millinaire :-) If you can get some free ebooks about making money, get them, read them and think about the content. Find your own way; think about your skills, your time and find solutions to make money in your own way. The making money ebooks are not bad! But dont use step by step instructions and dont think you can as successful like the author. The author gives you not the solution for his success.

Some ebooks are very great to read and you can get many ideas - just be creative. Then you will have success in making money online.

I have seen this as well. There is a technique some use, where they write an ebook, and then sell the resale rights. If, for example 200 people buy that ebook, with the resale rights, they sell it as well, but add their name to it. See the pattern? Soon you will have a few thousand selling the exact same ebook, under a different name, and price, and this is how they make their money. In my honest opinion, if you are going to write an ebook, you need to have the knowledge and skill needed to excel in your niche. Be an authority. And make sure that when you write an ebook, its not just a generic rehash of everything that has already been said online.

There are also a few though that write ebooks to completely mislead newbies. They teach them the wrong techniques\, the wrong principles and I firmly believe that most of these newbies turn spammer because of it. Only because they don't know better. IMHO some marketers need to go back to the basics and think of their clients before their wallets.

been there... and also done that (bought resale right ebook), i think the biggest customer of the ebook owner mostly NEWBIES, newbies will do anything and buy anything that they feel they wanna learn.. in the end they just realize, that book just useless, same like me 2-3 years ago

Honestly, if you hand out step by step instructions, not everyone will be successful. It's a fact, and that's not always the author's fault, either. If you think that you can follow a set of instructions and be successful in business, then it's probably not meant to be in the first place.

Think about teachers - they hand out specific step by step instructions and teach you the material, but it's up to you to interpret it. They can try to teach it to you in several ways, but if you cannot grasp the material or take it a different direction, all of the blame can't be placed on the teacher. It's up to the student to listen and interpret the stuff being taught to them.

Everyone does things differently, too. What works for one might not work for someone else. The way I see it, if I pick up on a new tip or learn something I didn't know about before, then I'd consider it a success.

i love your thoughts and explanation, what you say is right, sometime people don't ever need to buy ebook to get success, and sometime people had spent thousand dollar to buy ebook and attend multiple courses in order to success

And the worst is...newbies will rather believe the crap obsolete methods in tose crap ebook than the real thing.
The products that actually contain the real deal and effective strategies just don't sell as well as the mass hype nonsense out there.
Believe me...I know.

that's right andre... so who ever newbies who read this topic, i remind you not to believe 'hype' sales letter and also 'hype' of the product, you will lose money a lot. Learn by hard first..
