Ebooks........ Help!

33pelter

Most ppl tend to say that e-books are a scam in most cases and I am in agreement because if you could get phones and laptops so cheap why wud they share this info and not just but them themselves and sell for much more? Also, someone posted a link ages ago which took you to a library of ebooks that you could download and there were hundreds so could anyone tell me where this is again as they do make a bit of light reading lol?!

i think that floodle is the best - they are updated weekly and you can have an newsletter sent to your email telling you about the new books!

I'm actually a member of an internet marketing website.

Floodle must be a member and steals the ebooks. He/She alters sometimes copyrighted items and places his/her own affiliate links in them (these are where in an ebook the author may reccomend a service and get commision)

It might look a good site but the owner is a thief of other peoples work

the owner of floodle buys the ebooks, from donations......it says in every newsletter and on the website!

He doesn't! Why does he insert his own affiliate links in to the ebooks then?

What he's done is joined a paid site, which I also belong to and is nicking all the content and publishing it for free on his site. This is where he's claiming he's buying them.

The thing is though altering them is not allowed. Some ebook writers are now getting their work properly protected as many are just normal people on low income. However if he continues to get his ebook from this sourse where the authors are now starting to protect their work it won't be long untill someone catches him. I plan to do this as well!

Who cares! I think Floodle has successfully done what it set out to do, prove that most ebooks are pants!

On Ebay, why would anyone buy something which they didn't know anything about. 'Earn £30K in 2 minutes - can't tell you what it is, must buy ebook' - all the listing are rubbish!

I don't know what internet marketing you belong to, but the likelihood is that is pants as well. Why would anyone share marketing ideas? The whole point of marketing is to be unique and attract business for your company. If an ebook is written about a marketing technique then it is known to the masses and is worthless.

You can draw your own conclusions about internet marketing! I've just managed to clear £15,000 of debts in 6 months with it, I'm not complaining!!!!!

LOL just noticed your screen name!........And I did!

I have a cd full of ebooks and they all come with reseller rights, which means I can change the links and sell them on for whatever I can get (or, presumably, give them away like Floodle). However, as the OP suggests, they are all crap so I would be too embarrased.

Resell rights does NOT mean you can change the links, only resell them. You could be done for copyright theft if the original was properly copyrighted.

If you want to change any aspect of an ebook it has to have private label rights. Resell rights do not allow you yo change anything.

As to they are all crap suggestion..........do you think the amount of money going into my paypal account is crap? I get a futher £1000 a month from affiliate earnings.
