Yes that's one of the good ones, thanks!

Okay, so it's been a while since I said "hi"...

Thought I would put in my two-cents once again

I know I have said it before, but if you want good information on marketing, you can hit a bookstore. If you want information on literally anything, you can hit a bookstore...Because the online advertising medium is sooo large, people tend to think that the only good info. relating to online business has to be found online. That is not entirely correct.

Although there is some solid truth to that, and I would never downplay good, solid forums such as this, I will certainly say that if you truly want to learn something, you will either dig through mountains of convoluded information online, most of which is put together by hacks online (unfortunately), you can hit solid forums and free training sites, or hit the ol' bookstore...Let me give you an example:

Last week I wanted to get more information on Strict XHTML Website Coding (sounds exciting doesn't it!). Basically, I can go into more detail, but I would put you asleep.

There are multiple e-books online that give you overviews of this, covering the whole gambit of pricing, from $50 and up....I believe the e-book max is around $350 currently (but don't quote me on that).

Anyway, I was able to pick up a full 900 page text, published this year, fully and written by an professor at one of the branches of Indiana University. Not only an author, but a professor in this exact science....An more importantly, it was a whopping $39...

Anyway, just food for thought!

Aaron,

Welcome back.

You are correct. I know my bookstore purchases over the years have included books on PSP and Wordpress. The internet is a great source for information, but sometimes a book just feels more helpful.

hi guy's...
you are so right, just by reading what have to say i have learned more then in any ebook, and it fells good not like somebody trying to tell me stories of success and how easy it is.
I have always thought that hard work pay along eventually!!!

Hmmm.. Good points guys. I've actually have been doing this business for about like 3 months @_@ .. Still searching for the specific niche, but I'm sure that it will start to with time. Anyways, keep up the great conversations

I think for the most parts ebooks should be treated as guides, and "seeds" for information. I'm hesitant to paint all ebooks and their authors with the same brush.

Yes, it's mostly information you can find in a book, or on the internet. But much of the information contained in a good ebook is based on experience, and that's harder to find. Not to mention many beginners don't know where to look for information, so instead of spending hours searching, they can pick something up for $5 that gives them what they need.

I'm not trying to defend ebooks, there are a lot of junk ones out there, but there are some good ones too. Unfortunately you usually don't find out until you've already purchased it.

Yeah, I absolutely agree with your opinion. That's true, there are some good ebooks, and of course some bad too. But these good ebooks contain a lot of useful information and it's useful to study from them...

Yes I agree there are some good ones. My point was mainly for brand new newbies who haven't learned yet how to filter through all the ebooks that prey on newbies and are filled with hype about making $ with no work or books that are just regurgitated stuff you can get for free.

Great advice for a newbie like me, Linda. Fortunately my husband has had more experience in this arena and has been able to warn me about the ebooks ahead of time! As Americans we are always looking for the "quick fix" but it usually isn't out there!

Great tips I wish I read them months ago. The problem with starting out is you want to get going fast right out of the gates. And the majority of people that are selling the quick fast cash online... it took a year or more for them to work that out.
Main thing is no to give up
