If you look around a little on the web, you'll no doubt come across people trying to sell you ebooks about eBay's 'secrets' for as much as $20. Here's a sample:<1-- more -->
"Along with 400,000 other excited eBay fanatics I now make a living using the Internet and eBay. I can go days without ever speaking to a single customer, but I have a world wide customer base. My online business runs like a well oiled machine with a part-time effort!"
You too can get such valuable tips as:
"All you need to do is write a list of questions other people would pay to get the answers to, give that list to a friend, have the friend call you on the phone and ask you those questions, record the call, have the recording transcribed, and edit the transcription! Presto - you've just created a 'meaty' ebook fast!"
So What Do These Books Contain?
Don't be deceived by the slick sales copy and promises of 'automatic sales machines' and unique sales strategies. Most of these 'winning money-making strategies' boil down to the same thing. Follow their advice, and you'll be writing long, old-fashioned sales copy in an effort to sell shoddily-written downloadable ebooks to gullible souls, either directly through eBay or by trying to redirect people through your About Me page to your website.
The theory is that the rubbish ebooks will sell themselves, and you won't have to do a thing.
Here's a question to ask yourself: if these 'secrets' work so well, then why aren't the ebooks authors spending every hour they have putting them into practice, instead of trying to sell you ebooks? If these secrets were so valuable, then why would they give them away for that price, or any price? Out of charity? Yeah, right.<
Here's the reality: trying to sell ebooks on eBay or anywhere else is very likely to get you nowhere, and fast. The bottom fell out of the ebook market a long time ago – in fact, it's doubtful whether it ever had a bottom to begin with. The ebooks are an effort to get to you sign up for all sorts of services, making money for the ebooks' writers each time. In short, the only way to profit from 'secrets of eBay' ebooks is to be selling them, not buying them – and do you really want to become a con artist?
If you'd like to take a look at one of these ebooks, try searching for the name and picking through results. The chances are you'll find an excerpt or review – and if it's not by someone trying to sell you the ebook then it won't be a favourable view. The fact that most ebooks you buy for $20 come with unlimited resale rights should tip you off if nothing else does.
It's All Out There for Free.
You can almost any information that someone might be trying to sell you in an ebook for free using a search engine, if you take the time. Ebooks aren't worth the paper they're not printed on.
