Knowledge is Power

If you do a Ebay search for the word, "ebook", there are over 3000 results at any given moment. Information being sold. It's taken me some years and downloads to realize something: the information you obtain is only what you make of it.


It's exactly like the lyrics from "Sunscreen Song" by Baz Lurhman :

"Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than its worth."


You can download and purchase all the ebooks in the world, but 2 facts remain for anybody:


#1. Your results may vary, and #2. You get what you put into it. You have to work hard, show determination, and don't give up. If you don't know something, learn it. Try to get it for free, first.


The real profits sadly come from the authors of the ebooks. You can try all the methods you can from the information inside of it, but the real money maker is passing that information on to others. Inside any ebook you read in Adobe Acrobat Reader contains underlined clickable links for you to signup on. That link, in turn, contains their affiliate tracking I.D.s. If you sign up or buy that product the information is indicating, guess what? - The author just made a commission, sale, lead, or profit...from your click.


If you have information, and others can/would think it to be valuable, you must market it and tell others about it. You must write your own ebook! Slip in all those links and underlined
words
. Do anything to advertise and market it. Hypnotize people into buying it or reading it! Get it out there!


Remember, even if your E-book gets downloaded illegally, given to friends and family for free, or passed on to others via email....you're still making money off the amount of residual income being made from the links and tracking IDs embedded from within the ebook as others read and click.

Knowledge is power.
