Wickedfire’s War on Make Money Ebooks

I’ve never been a huge fan of the Make Money Online ebooks that float around. I guess that was part of the reason I started this blog, I was never really satisfied with the information out there or didn’t want to see people like me pay $97 to find the same recycled ways of:

1. How to set up an Adwords Account
2. What is Adwords?
3. How to set up a CJ Account

If I wanted to buy a book about the Adwords Help Center then I’d print the whole load off on the work printer?

Anyway, don’t get me wrong I’m not totally against these books. If you’re an affiliate they sell like hotcakes & if you don’t promote them someone else will….right? Well that depends on whether your conscience will let you sell something you know is crap or not.

The sad fact is that people will always want to profit off someone else’s lack of knowledge. If knowledge is power that you can turn into something profitable then many people will jump at the opportunity.

However, it has become apparrent that many of the Ebooks floating around now are merely ripoffs of old books & rehashed techniques that really offer no value or promises beyond that of their sales letter.

Well Jon from Wickedfire has decided enough is enough. Down with the EBook Scams once & for all.

I for one am very pleased that he is exposing some of these books for what they really are. For example, he posted some new book called Duvet Dollars which is currently selling for $97. I can honestly say that this is one of the worst examples of an Affiliate Marketing Ebook I have ever seen since Affiliate Cash Vault. I would more call it a tutorial on how to set up an Adwords account & promote Clickbank Products than a guide to riches.
Some people out there may find this useful, but I doubt the demographic that this book is aimed at will be able to make the $900/day the author claims you can make.

It’s the false claims that personally piss me off the most. The Ebook writers post shots of their Clickbank stats with long bars of $500/day or whatever but fail to mention that those bars are actually from affiliates selling their other products on Clickbank. Maybe you or I will be able to notice that but the average person the the street wanting to learn about Affiliate Marketing or making money online won’t know & will just see dollar signs in their eyes. At what point does this become deception or scamming? Are these Make Money ebooks purely scamming otherwise helpless people into buying a book that holds no real value?

Now I can see Jon’s ulterior movie for doing something like this. It allows him to direct people that might normally buy the book into his forum, but I was under the impression he didn’t want newbies on the forum? So if there’s no information to satisfy the newbies then surely they’ll flock to the forum & annoy him instead :p Ebooks are bad, Wickedfire is good M’kay.

Will definately be interesting to see how this evolves over the coming months. I smell lawsuits.

My question is, have any of you guys ever bought any of these books. What did you make of them?

Are there any books out there that fall outside this scam category & actually offer really good usable information?
