Ebooks Wont Give you the SECRET - Keep your wallet in your pocket

[Linda Buquet]

Hey guys, I moved all the posts about safe lists and email advertising to a new thread
as they were taking this thread off-topic.

That way others interested in "lists" and emails ads can find it,
rather than having a side conversation here which will get lost.

Here is the new thread so those of you who posted can carry on the conversation there.
Safe Lists and Email Advertising

Thanks

Hey there,
I agree that most eBooks are trash, believe me I've read some losers and wasted money. But I also understand two things...

1. In order to be the best, you must learn from the best!

2. The most successful people are only truly successful when they can teach someone else how to be successful.

So, taking these two points hand in hand, I've come across invaluable information from a great, current, ongoing training program that is REAL.

So, for everyone out there, there are top notch affiliate marketing training courses out there, and these guys are doing it because the ultimate success is to be able to TEACH someone else how to be successful with you.

I hope this helps...

Cheers to your success!

You will never ever be unsuccessful in the long run by pursuing knowledge. Knowledge is power so keep pursuing from e-books or whatever

Agreed Erik...the hard part is finding the right ones. It's easily fixed by doing a little due diligence searching the author with Google.

you really can learn allot from the forums right here. The best information is usually free I have learned allot from the different forums I am a member of

[wealthbringer]

Yeah, absolutely. Just remember, information is valuable. If you've spent 10 years figuring out on your own how to make money online, you will probably not give it away for free. If that was the case, Barnes and Noble would not exist.

Cheers!

some people do give there secrets away it is just usually in a way they can profit from it directly or in directly

[wealthbringer]

That's my point exactly. But, the secrets are there, and they are true secrets...things we never would have come up with on our own. And they monetize those secrets, the same way Martha Stewart monetizes her knowledge of the Home Ec business. They give some of their knowledge away for free, but only as a teaser. Then you need to decide if you want to pay for the really good stuff. Look at John Reese and his Traffic Secrets. Do you think only inexperienced newbies pay for that? No way. All of the guys on top of Internet Marketing pay big bucks to get that information...why? Because it's good, it works, and John has been studying the internet with an eagle's eye, and doing it for years. He then puts together and awesome package and sells it. That's just one example.

My advice though...don't buy junk. Learn from the best!

I have learned over the years that being cheap will cost you more money in the long run. Doing things the best or right is always the best way to go

In most cases it seems to me that if you have read one ebook about affiliate marketing you have read them all. And I agree that some of them are just plain junk. But there are some out there that's good and that's why I continue to buy and read them. I feel like if I at least get something out of a book that I haven't learned before then it has been valuable.

It is hard however to learn all you need from just an ebook. Especially if you are just starting out in affiliate marketing. I would think it better to get the join a reputable service that helps to coach or walk you in the right direction. There's just so much to learn in the beginning... without some sort of help it would be very hard.
