1. They all say the same thing: MAKE MONEY BY WORKING 1 HOUR A WEEK!!!. Yea, right. 2. They all look like shit. http://www.therichboy.com/ (seriously, get a new design, rich boy). I automatically close websites that have those designs. Do YOU buy these things? Edit: OOps, wrong category, admin please move this
I sell a lot of such ebooks, so I know there are always fools who want to make money the easy way !! And I agree that there are lot of copycat books - just shows the lack of creativity in Internet Marketing.
there are a few high quality ebooks u can buy from amazon at a fraction of the cost of the real book. (as long as you don't mind the eyestrain!)
Very true. I have tried selling a few but there are just so many copies of the same thing tha it is hard to do so. Most are lame and filled with vague ideas.
The get rich quick niche is annoying. But ebooks are worthwhile if they sell valuable nuggets of information that cannot be found in a book at a bookstore. Embarrassing topics, tiny niche topics, etc. work well. I agree there is too much junk.
I hate those ones with all the highlighted text and big fonts and weird colors. I'm writing an Ebook now, and when I post it, it will be on my blog and look the same as every other post. It will most likely be free, too.
There are e-books that aren't related to get rich quick. I've bought programming e-books before. O'Reilly makes some good ones.
There are also great SEO ebooks. And Perry Marshalls adwords ebook is a real treasure. I am very for ebooks, if they're worthwhile. But yes too much junk out there.
http://www.youreapoorloser.com/ I found this a funny parody (It's not my site - someone else posted it up on DP earlier)
Dear OP: Oh please, save the sob story for your Mom Someone left me a link to this thread on my Virtual Sales Agent. You asked "Seriously...who buys eBook?" My answer "Would you like to see my sales history for the month?" Because, apparently... a LOT of people buy ebooks, and specifically buy MY eBook. Then you asked..."why does everyone use that same website design" Did you ever stop and consider that....IT WORKS? My Bank Account sure would agree that it works, and it works really damn good. I'm not here to Boast or anything, I just need to stop flamer noobs like this guy from spreading false information. Narrow page sales copy with big headlines, colorful text, pictures...people are using it because its PROVEN to work. Ever heard of http://www.marketingtips.com/tipsltr.html Yeah, those are the guys who literally wrote the book on internet marketing and created a $60,000,000 company. And wanna know what they teach in their marketing course...to make templates exactly like I did. Wanna know what they use to SELL their marketing course.... templates just like I use. SO, Original Poster. How much money do you make by talking bad about using marketing techniques that work? Let me guess...$0 How much money do you even make Period from the internet? Probably less than $2000/Month. I won't even talk about how much I make per month, because you honestly Won't believe me. And I understand why...you aren't at the right maturity level to understand that some things aren't "logical" and some things Just Plain WORK. So Please, save your baby-ass talk for someone else. Honestly I see more threads on DP that are purely created to Talk Shit about someone else's hustle... Focus on your own hustle man, because CLEARLY you are not satisfied with it at this point, or you would not even waste time creating pointless, flamer threads such as this one. I loved this part "I hate those ones with all the highlighted text and big fonts and weird colors. I'm writing an Ebook now, and when I post it, it will be on my blog and look the same as every other post. It will most likely be free, too." Wow, man. Really steppin outside of the box there aren't we. You are going to make a blog that looks 100% average and normal, then try to sell your book for FREE. I can see why that will make you So much money... This response also goes to anyone siding with the OP. I know there are some really smart and rich people here on DP, and respect goes to them.

That's all? "No Comment" Why even start a debate thread if you don't want to hear and respond to intelligent conversation...
