If you're a student of the internet in any
way, you've come across this wonderful piece of
information, right? The sales pitches are slicker than a banana peel in
the middle of an ice rink. These sales pitches will make it seem like
breathing is difficult when compared to using whatever the hell
information these weasels are selling. And for some reason, when said
information is delivered electronically, it's about three times as
valuable as a printed book. How is this possible? There are no printing
costs. No shipping costs. No costs associated with having a bookstore,
yet many times an E-book costs twenty to forty dollars! Does this seem
the least bit normal? It seems to me an E-book, which is prepared
without the cost mentioned earlier, should cost between five and ten
bucks. But this doesn't seem to be the case with many people selling
E-books on the internet today. No, their information is that much more
valuable (they would tell you), but the problem is that this is rarely
true.
I've purchased and read many of the E-books out there, and there is
little difference between them and any book about the same subject that
you could purchase in a bookstore, or check out from the library for
free, other than their inflated price. What's different is the
marketing, and as I said these weasels are good. They can write copy
that would literally sell an ice maker to an Eskimo. Not only this, but
they make claims about their earnings that are as exaggerated as the
price of their information.
So is it possible to write an E-book and make a ton of money? Of course
it is, anything's possible, although I would just suggest that you try
your best not to buy into the hype. Remember: an E-book is the same as
any other book apart from the fact that it's delivered electronically,
and in almost all cases has many fewer pages than most books you've
come in contact with. Contrary to the opinion of the weasels selling
E-books on 'how to make money with e-books', having the letter "E" in
front of the word book does not make it any different from any other
bound piece
of information.
If you're interested in making a ton of money selling e-books, I wish
you luck, just remember what your mother told you when it comes to
e-book information. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
As much as you might hate to admit it, Mom was right on that occasion.
Especially when it comes to much of the information on e-books floating
around on the ocean we all like to call the 'internet'.
