Make Money E-Book Scams

As someone who writes and sells eBooks, you can believe I can spot a scam from a mile away.

The bottom line is that there is a huge audience of people interested in making money on the Internet, and you must extremely careful who you listen to. A vast majority of those claiming to make money on the Internet have never made a dollar, let alone created their own product. I have compiled a simple list of ways you can easily spot whether a product related to making money is a complete scam, or if it might be legitimate.

Is it the “system selling the system?

Many eBooks products can fairly be categorized as pyramid schemes. When someone offers you resale rights for a “Sell eBooks” product, they are only giving you a small fraction of what it takes to make money on the Internet. Yes, a product is a part of the equation, but what you really need is a mechanism for putting that product in front of people. In other words, without a powerful website design and traffic, you can’t sell a thing.

Sometimes these products will even offer you a website and product together. The problem here is that your website and product is the same as many others, and it will be difficult to differentiate yourself. What’s worse, the search engines will have no way to seperate your websites. Without a website stocked full of original information, it will be difficult to establish a long term web presence and the traffic that comes along with it.

The best eBook topics are not necessarily related to marketing, but other hidden topics that large segments of the population are actively searching for. Think of products that save people money, time, or change their way of looking at a common problem. What do you know better than anyone else, or what could you research and breakdown for someone else to digest in an easy to understand fashion? Or, how about things that people may have to do that they aren’t necessarily familiar with I.e. save for their kid’s college education, finance a home, negotiate a deal, consolidate their debt, plan a wedding, lose weight etc. How could you pitch a topic that has already been covered in a new or exciting sort of way.

Is the person selling it to you the original author?

The vast majority of get rich quick snake oil salesmen type websites are created and distributed as is. That means that the people claiming they can teach you how to make money fast have no idea how to create a product, let alone optimize a website or generate traffic. If they did, they would never make ridiculous unsubstantiated claims about the amount of money they made and how short of a time it took them. Those in the know realize it is impossible to make money on the Internet without bringing together the essential elements, and that gathering these elements takes more than just a few hours of work and study.

Is there any content on the website?

A single page sales letter pitch doesn’t exactly establish credibility, and offers little proof the author actually knows what they are talking about. Such a sign is a red flag that the product is highly likely to be a scam.

What is actually included?

It is really hard to do research about products because the only people typically writing about the product are promoting it. With that said, you can usually get a good idea of what is actually included with the product, and if you are equipped to analyze it from the author’s perspective, it is relatively easy to spot the scam.

One such product I have been hearing a ton about is called the “Reverse Funnel System” which screams scam from the first time I read the title. Doing a bit of research, I discovered that the end objective of this eBook is to set you up to sell timeshares! Are you kidding me?

The price of the product can also be a red flag. If someone is charging you $300 or more for a .PDF and some overvalued “system to making money,” you can best believe the product included is a scam. Always use your best judgment, and realize the true secrets to making money lie in dedication and reasonable expectations.

What does it actually do for you?

The vast majority of make money online eBook scams are filled with hype and spam. In order for an eBook to be considered quality, it should have a little bit of substance in so far as what it actually teaches you. If a product is focused primarily on educating you with practical advice you can use to make money, it might be legitimate. If it offers a complete money back guarantee, it is worth the chance!

The eBook Education will teach anyone how to locate or produce a quality product, build a website to sell that product, and get traffic to that website. We take an all-killer, no filler, completely straight forward, logical look at the entire process, from product selection all the way through the final sale.
