Business Opportunity Ebooks: Beware Of the Bull

June 11th, 2009 by Nelson Tan

There are so many business opportunities online, and often they are not worth squat. In this article I am looking at a particular kind of product: those e-books which claim to show you a brain-dead easy way to instant riches.

How about this for example:

“$100,000/month guaranteed – start earning within 15 minutes!” This AdWords ad caught my eye as I did a Google search for “business opportunity” today.

Let’s get serious here — do you really think someone in their right mind can make such a promise? My guess is you’d have to be a whiz at making money to have any chance of doing that well. Now when I hop over to the sales page, I am told in blazing letters that I will make a hundred grand a month “100% on autopilot”!

Provided I purchase the “insider secrets” product, at the reasonable cost of $49.90 — if I “act today”.

OK, so now I can spend less than fifty bucks and in return I get some “insider secrets” which will make me a hundred grand a month ON AUTOPILOT!

I know only one way of doing that: print your own money. And unfortunately, that is illegal.

This ridiculously inflated sales hype is characteristic of the more shady kind of make money online stuff. It is aimed at desperate people who have no idea how to make money using the Internet, but have a vague dream of doing it.

Now, I happen to know that this particular $49.90 product has a rather significant refund rate. You see, this is an ebook and it comes with a 60 day money back guarantee. And since the payment processor happens to be Clickbank, I get public information about all their products. Accessing that data, I can see that lots of customers have had such a low opinion of this particular ebook that they have asked for a refund. Which is exactly what you’d expect just from the B.S. smell of the sales page.

In summary: there are gazillions of people out there trying to tell you what terrific business opportunities you’ve got by using the Web. But beware of those over-hyped products which are basically just full of hot air! It is indeed possible to find good information also, if you know where to look for it. Now I invite you to step over to my site, dBusinessOpportunity.com, com, to get the scoop. Over the years I seen them all, those make-money-easy ebooks.
