    If I can become "rich" in 15 years, it's still worth it =)

    Subconsciously, many think the way you have expressed your feelings. These days we have so many money making websites with all sort of promises.

    There really isn't a need to buy a money making ebook. It's all available online for free.

    I've never paid for an ebook but I've downloaded a few and they are hilarious. They come in three sections:

    Section 1
    They all start with some spiel about how poor they used to be; living off dead rats and fighting the neighbourhood strays for scraps etc - and then suddenly they had an idea. This idea was SO successful that now they earn billions a month for ABOUT THIRTY SECONDS WORK A DAY! Now they want to pass on the secret and YOU, yes YOU can become INCREDIBLY RICH by following these SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS. They also tell you that you must be dedicated, and the ONLY reason you will fail is if you don't follow the instructions of the plan TO THE LETTER. (A useful 'get out' for them).

    Section Two
    After about 15 pages of double-spaced, wide margin waffle with LOTS OF CAPITALS they come to their 'big idea'. These can be distilled down into two types:

    Type 1: You will become incredibly rich by thinking of something that no one else has done then by setting up a website (or even a blog!) to 'do' it.

    Type 2: You do the bleedin' obvious. For example you can get INCREDIBLY RICH by following these three simple steps:

    1 - Buy a run-down property cheaply.
    2 - Do it up.
    3 - Sell it for a profit!


    Section 3
    This simply repeats everything that was said in Section 1, and remember this is EASY and ANYONE CAN DO IT.

    I love the limited edition claim on a digital product. Is the world running low on hard drive space? Any idiot can take an ebook and make share it with a few million people without any resources other than energy being used, so how dumb do people have to be to buy the whole "limited edition" thing?
