For many visitors and new members, I feel they might come in here with promises of fast easy money just falling in your lap faster then you can spend it. I'm just going to try to correct some misconceptions that can perhaps save someone money without understanding what it takes:
When buying a proper eBook there are things that you are actually purchasing:
Method - Something that can be utilized to earn income
Tutorial - this is arguably the most valuable thing, the trials and errors can be significantly negated with a proper guide, this alone can make an eBook worth the price
Knowledge - Training your brain to spot a method to capitalize to earn income may be a very long term beneficial goal that can lead you to find your own methods.
Money is all around you, it requires hard work and dedication to collect it. Don't expect any eBook to be a get rich quick guide.
What characteristics may be present in an eBook to make YOU money:
Trial and error - Doing something that may fail over and over but if you successfully pull it off; it could lead to a decent pay day. Understanding that you're trading time and repetition for a chance of striking rich. If you fail 44 times, but the 45th time would make you rich; are you comfortable knowing that you might quit right before that?
Social Engineering - similar characteristics to trial and error and exploiting, manipulating the system to earn a financial reward. Generally this kind of lying/manipulation is considered illegal in most countries.
Exploitation - Finding a loophole in a present system that allows you to capitalize income.
Risk - Doing something illegal that may present you with legal or criminal risk. Not all eBooks contain risk, but if you're looking at social engineering or large amounts of money, it's generally assumed to be a risky proposition.
Automation - Running a program or tool to exploit a system to collect income. A method like this usually is short lived and ultimately caught on and closed. Make as much as you can before it is ended.
Saturation - if an eBook is popular, it likely is saturated. This means everyone has exploited the same loophole, and whatever method this is being done has increasing trial and error.
Hard Work - Nothing is easy, you're always trading time for money; work, life goals, etc all cost time. The ideal goal is to find the lowest ratio of time to money. This likely leads to an eBook being sold, as the time to money investment is too much for a seller, who may have moved on to an undisclosed better option.
Understanding all these characteristics, you might be able to piece together a picture of what an "earn $$" eBook is. Don't believe that anyone is giving their chance at becoming a multi-millionaire away to you for $10. If you're buying a eBook, you are the customer of someone's product. I probably could have called this an eBook and sold it for $10. Knowledge generally costs money, but this time it's free, on me.
