Do we still need to pay for eBooks?

    Hi,

    I just wondering that if we really need to pay for eBooks. I don't want to be a cheapscake but you can find whatever information that we want for free. I mean we just have to write whatever we want on our search engine, and we can get more than 10 of the topics that we want. We can download it for free and learn from the free eBooks. We even have a master resale rights on the eBooks that we downloaded for free. And some of them we can edit and put our name as an author.

    Why paying?

    I don't know guys, it is just my opinion.

    Thanks

    Nizzura

    yeah me neither. i don't even see it realistic when people claim they make a huge amount of money and the secret is in that ebook. believe in hardwork not in short cheap tricks.

    1. why you selling for so cheap?
    2. why you wanna share your BIG money making secret with the world, even though you are getting a small amount of money?

    every info in online and if you are really desperate into making money you should work hard, be efficient and don't rely on short-tricks in the ebook that won't last for many day, if any.

    Glasshopper you obviously dont get it. People want MORE money, no matter how much they are making. Ebooks are easy to sell and you get 99% of the profit.

    knm77 yes it is worth buying ebooks, they contain information from pro marketers. Anyone can whip up some dodgy article but someone who writes a 50 page ebook probably knows what they're talking about.

    Don't be scared to spend money on information that will help you, think of it like a education, but much cheaper and more relevant.

    You want people to spend money with you right? Well do the same if its going to help your business.

    there will always be people who come up with new methods and books, stuff who dont read in the forums. Its sometimes hard to find the good, quality ebooks because there IS a lot of old, rewashed books out there.

    Hey, This question (always posted by you) has been answered in other forums...

    People buy eBooks because they want to save time!

    Time is the most precious treasure!

    Thanks,

    Exactly, it saves time. Too bad a lot of Ebooks are complete rubbish, but nonetheless you can still find good ones that have great information in them (not to mention NEW information)

    And as a previous one said, some people have new methods and ideas. I bet that on your own you probably wouldn't have thought about some techniques you now know of.

    Unless you're a genius of some sort (but then again, what makes a genius?)

    greetz,

    Ebooks are a dime a dozen I can prob point you to a zip file of a million ebooks all free.
    Most of the ebooks are fake. When you see the charts for thier paypal account, they just keep depositing the 10 bucks themselves over a period of two weeks to make it look like a million bucks. I just saw one of those sites on ebay yesterday and I checked to see what kinda backlinks they have and they have two the sites and ebays...haha So yea a scam...

    If we really get our hands on a good ebook, time spent on creating ideas and brainstorming can be cut short so that we can start doing what we want to do earlier.

    Time really = $$!:D

    Sorry but it doesn't makes sense when Ebooks seller claim people can make a lot of money within few hours or days.
    If that's so why don't they use it themselves or let their family or friends use them. By selling it to us, aren't they are creating more competitors for themselves?
    Often times, eBook contains things that either we already know about or cheap tricks that won't make you even the half of the money the seller claims he/she made through ebook.

    i made $1500-$1600 with my first ebook in 24hrs. I am selling an ebook now "how to create, design and sell" ebooks ... because i am a marketer and selling stuff and seeing money coming in on the paypal account is fun :)

    I agree, there is a lot of **** out there but this doesn't need to itch you. It works, i saw and see it myself. Quality is key.

    I'll have a fantastic little EBook online in the next few days. The reason I'm selling the system in an ebook is because eventually the system dries out... not completely, but fairly significantly. By selling it I can create more profit from the system.

    Think about ebooks like inventions. Some are about ideas that someone just thought of and some are copycats

    Yea, the majoority of ebooks that I see are preying on newbies, most the time they are free and the author just wants their contact information so they can sell them something else. But I've also seen ebooks that prey on newbies and I know have 0 content within them... I they can sleep at night, more power to them, its not my style though

    OK, think of it this way

    A person writes an ebook lets say "Make $1000 or more in a day", he puts a little time in actually finding ways to do that. However most people are lazy to do the research themselves, and that person knows it.

    So he sells the book for say $50, advertises it like crazy, and manages to make 20 sales. He then documents what he did in that ebook and bam! He makes $1000.

    Point is, he didn't lie about making $1000, and he actually shows you how to do it. Whether you make that $1000 is up to you.

    So really, the only reason to buy an ebook is either you are too lazy to do a research yourself, or you lack knowledge to do the research yourself, or you don't have time to do the research yourself.

    Yes the information can be found for free, but not many people know that.

    A lot of the information is available on the Internet but sometimes it's better to pay for information written by someone with proven results. That's why I buy eBooks on here, especially a few unique ones; it's interesting to see what people have to say; their idea can't be that shit if they've earned money off it.

    LOL. You people make me laugh. If people are lazy to find the good infos, then they will be lazy to apply the "knowledge" from the ebooks as well.

    Please don't tell us eBook has something that will work for lazy people.
    Reading eBook is hard, working on the things eBook tells you to do is much much harder; so eBook won't work for lazy people if we keep the presumption of lazy people and eBook we been talking about.
