Default I'm not bad...I'm just drawn that way.

Because every man and his dog who knew nothing about making money anywhere, especially online, decided to put up a site to sell their ebook on success, making money blah, blah, blah really have only themselves to blame.

If the medium used to reach people is abused by the ignorant and untalented, then it gives the whole medium a bad name......guilt by association.

There are some very good ebooks out there, but the majority (and not just on the topic of Internet marketing/making money) are absolute garbage.

If you had information to sell, would you throw it into an ebook or place it in a password protected directory and make it members only? Ebook publishers usually look for the quick buck, the ‘buy my ebook or download my file and move along please’

If you want a business out here, you’d be better off building a better relationship with your customer....after all isn’t that the whole point?

To get the same customer to come back again and again, they now know you and trust you and may tell others.

The link below is for a site that reportedly signs 8,000 new members a month, I wonder how successful they would have been if they’d been selling an ebook or downloadable file.

Just my opinion.
