There is a lot of free information available online about internet marketing.  But, there may come a time when you’re ready to delve a bit deeper and buy an e-book on marketing.  Which ones are the best? Which ones are duds?

It’s a good idea to do a bit of digging on the author of books you’re considering and see what that author appears to be all about.  A good reputation can be determined and lucky for you, a bad reputation can be even easier to find out so have a look at the author and their reputation closely before spending money on an e-book or marketer mentoring program.

How to know if an e-book is worth buying

Ask others in your niche if they’ve bought the book and see what they say.  Check for reviews on the book. While you’ll find a lot of endorsements with embedded and cloaked affiliate links, you might consider looking for the opinion of someone you know will give a negative opinion if the e-book warrants it.  Finding mentors and gurus in internet marketing can take time but if you spend time researching and learning through the many free information sites that are out there, you’ll pick up a lot of knowledge.

Buying an e-book with a money back guarantee through a trusted payment processor such as ClickBank or PayPal is also a good idea as you know you really have nothing to lose but time reading the book.

There’s also a great internet marketing forum called the Warrior Forum which is probably the largest and oldest internet marketing forum on the net. you’ll find plenty of free and honest information there.

Have a most outstanding day.
