    The idea really is to make money. If your dead broke and it makes you money will you care? A lot of them do have good ideas however with anything you just don't get rich overnight. You must work at it.

    Get rich books aren't necessarily bad, but people fail to realize that hard work is still necessary. I read a book about affiliate sells(which I got for free) and I applied exactly what the offer talked about. And you know what? it worked. My affiliate sales greatly increased.

    But I had to work hard. And that is something which is important to remember.

    Thanks Abhishek,
    They enticed me to buy their eBook. So they made part of the million $, correct! We are reading. It is interesting to read. Get some knowledge. That's it.
    But I heard Jason Calacanis has been making over a million bucks per annum from adsense. Is it correct?
    Any really knows how to make a million bucks over the internet ,but honestly?
    Regards,
    DrAltaf

    There are millionaires writing books (Trump, Scott and lot's more); basically they write that with hard work, more than average brainpower (but you don't need to be brilliant) and a bit of luck you can get rich. They are probably (guessing here) writing that for their ego; you need to have published a 'real' book; it is one of those things.

    If all it took was a book then everyone would do it.

    These "read my book to be a millionaire" schemes are very suspicious.

    Do someone red such a book?If you did did you become at least hundred thousand $or at least thousand rich??That is my question.I know there are many people who are that rich and they wrote a ebook but the number of people who write ebook how they become rich and they don't know even how to earn 20$ a day from online businesses is larger than the people which actually are rich .Do you know some real ebooks?i and maybe evereyone is interested in such books.

    I'm glad this thread I started is still running. It still intrigues me why people buy these "Become a millionaire" books especially when the sales pitch is so desperate, so needy, so begging, so over-hyped. Somebody who's a millionaire doesn't need to try to hard, does he? And the per hour rate he earns p*mping his ebook has got to be lower than other work he can do with his obvious money-making talents?

    Anyone who buys an ebook promising $60k a month needs their head looking at. As *no-one* would write one and share $60k a month ideas for the price of an ebook, it's such an obvious lie, but yet complete idiots fall for it time and time again. And if you're that stupid, you deserve to be ripped off.

    I've written an article in my blog about this not to long ago. Unfortunately these days anyone calls them self a internet marketing expert and like all experts the next step is to write a ebook with "all the marking secrets" and make good money by selling it to internet newbies.
    The biggest problem is that it is not possible to control this and those self called experts will keep writing, or paying someone to write an ebook and keep making money fooling people.

    They are proud of themselves. They describe the qualities and features a person should have so as to achieve wealth.
    At last they do help other people and do it with pleasure.
