Are These Internet Marketing Ebooks Hogwash?
Being guilty of myself, I have literally spent gazillion amount
of money into these internet marketing ebooks when I started out
but only to find it later at those free-for-all ebooks
directories, free membership sites or even those giveaway sites.
Though it's a sad experience to see youself spending money into
something which could be downloaded somewhere over the Internet
for free, there are still some good ebooks and materials which
you should buy. Here are some of the guidelines which you should
know of before you start your spending spree.
Don't Spend Money On Junk Don't spend your money on
something that tells you that with no experience you can make a
lot of money. Typically this stuff is nothing more than trying
to sell you pie in the sky. You can always learn and equipped
yourself with knowledge from other free ebooks, newsletters or
forums before spending your money on these ebooks.
Only Buy From The Experts Who Are Successful Themselves
The most advertised ebooks are not always the best. Good stuff
will naturally come to you either by way of constant good
reviews from other Internet Marketers, word of mouth, buzz from
forums or discussion boards and even testimonials from the
actual people who use them. Thus, you should always buy from the
recognized experts who have had tons of experience under their
belt and also reputable results to back up their claims.
Buy Only On What You Actually Need. It's no point to
spend your hard earned money on whatever ebooks or internet
marketing materials which you come across, however good the
claims are on the sales copy. Remember, good sales copy is
supposed to play around the prospects' psychology behaviors into
believing their actual claims. That's why professional
copywriters charge tens of thousands for great sales copy
because they do bring in lots of sales just by selling hype. You
should only spend money on ebooks which could help you move on
in your business. For example, if you feel that you are lack in
copywriting skills, then you ought to buy copywriting materials
from the professionals.
Taking Action Is The Best Action You Can Make. Let's
face it, how many of us who could spend a bomb in our internet
marketing materials but only to find it lying around in our
computer hard disk for ages? The fact is, no matter how good or
how expensive or even how reputable the ebooks that you've
bought, it doesn't matter until you make the first step into
implementing the materials which you learn from the ebooks. If
you are new to Internet Marketing, then you should only buy
ebooks that will teach you step by step in setting up your
Internet Marketing business. Otherwise, stay away from them.
Hardcopy VS Intangible Books There had been discussions
going on which debate just how good are those Internet Marketing
books found on the bookstores compared to those on the Internet.
While I couldn't agree more on some of the great Internet
Marketing books you can find on the bookshelves, but in reality,
most of the books I found cover only general concepts of the
Internet Marketing. For example, in the business or internet
marketing section of the bookstore, you might find stuff like
"how to make money online" if you are looking for a book on
internet marketing, but you can find a more specific ebook on
the internet on "How to Get Successful Reciprocal Linking" or
something like that. Both of these are related to Internet
Marketing, but the latter tends to be more specific in their
scope. Like what I've mentioned in the previous point, you
should know what you are lack of and buy ebooks that will help
you move forward in your business. If you are just starting out,
internet marketing books in the bookstore will serve just as
good as the newbie ebooks online.
As a conclusion, make sure you know who you can trust online
before buying from them. There are lots of these self-proclaim
internet Marketing Gurus who are just like the average Joe
struggling to make money online. Remember, there are bunch of
those great forums and discussion boards which not only you
could find great pieces of information, but also the chance to
pose questions as well.
