Ebooks Won't Give you the SECRET - Keep your wallet in your pocket

[TxDon]

I know this is an old post, but I'm still gonna throw my dog into the fray. For a beginner, the right ebook(s) can give you a head start on making money in your niche. It won't "make" you, but they'll certainly help you.

Ebooks tend to put a lot of information at your finger tips. Sure, a lot of that info is available for free, if you have the time to look for it. That's time you could be spending researching your niche, building a site, looking over Aff networks or a hundred of other things. Time=money.

I've picked up more than a few good tips from ebooks. Before buying an ebook, look to see if the Author is actually doing what he/she is writing about. You'll quickly sift through the wannabe's.

That's true, there's a lot of work along the way, trial and error, testing and commitment. The one thing that you must have is persistence and not give up. I started six years ago, gave up for about 18 months two years ago and am now making money online. If I'd given up and not got back to it I wouldn't now be earning this money.

Hi all,

I think this is a very interesting topic to start with.

When I first started out in Internet marketing, I know nuts about the industry. With limited financial resources, I seek out those free ebooks for guidance, advice and hoping to find the secret to success. (my first ebook was Affiliate master course by Ken Evoy) . Am I disappointed? Of course not! The ebook was filled with ton and ton of information that overwhelms me. From a newbie,
it has guided me through my journey to be a full Internet marketer. So I guess ebooks do have its value at all, it is only a matter of which ebook you read.

However, I discovered that most ebooks never mention the real SECRETS to success...and that is Consistent, Committment and Persistence. Affiliate marketing is simple, but never easy. You need to put in a lot of hard work, consistency and persist to qualify for success. Get rich quick is never and should never be in the picture.

My advice: Read some good ebooks (either free or paid), digest the information and apply what you have learned consistently

Worst place to start. I've written about it many times. YOu need to find a niche and quit trying to sell get righ quick and webmaster type stuff.

YOu are swimming with sharks before you even know how to swim. Get out of the water quick and find a niche! I've written lots about that too.
Stop posting and read up for a bit. Then let us help you get started in
the right direction for you.

On that note, I did post on my blog about this...you don't have to succeed online by diving in to the most competitive field right off the bat.

Internet Marketing has lots of money being spent in it, but also most of your competition.

The key to success is to find an area (niche) that has a better ratio than that. Your perfect situation, unless you're talking about yachts, is to find a niche with a ton of money being spent, and only a few competitors or no competition at all.

Try to get nearest that ratio in a niche you can be passionate about, and your money will come.

It takes more research in this day and age to accomplish this...but the good news is there is still plenty of market out there waiting to be sold to.

Ebooks are nice sources of info but hardwork and dedication in the industry is what really matters.
