ebooks are notorious for scamming people looking for quick money. I would suggest you simply do a lot of research on "how to build a website", "Search Engine Optimization", "search engine optimization", "monetize a website" etc. There is a lot of FREE info out there and cumulatively is probably more valuable than any ebook you can find. Once you read up on all the legitimate methods, it will help you avoid the many, many scams out there. Basically, if some ebook is promising you the world, it is most likely a waste of your money. There are a probably a few good ones out there - but you need to know a bit to recognize them.

Have to disagree with your advise about ebooks.......

An ebook is simply "any" book that has been converted into digital format.....

To lump them as scams is giving bad advise......

I own many ebooks related to internet use and marketing related topics....
Some are very good and helpful, some are trash......after 10 years on the net I can tell the difference....

As you learn more, you will be able to separate the fact from the BS...

Many are available for free...get them ...read them....well worth the time...

New entrepreneurs will benefit most on an ebook that shows them some of the best ways to get traffic to their site....at least to start.

Actually, I did leave room for some good ones. I have bought a few, like Perry Marshall's Adwords ebook and a few others I have purchased that I do not remember by title. Sorry, I should have mentioned this in my post so as not to leave the impression of a blanket statement.

But speaking in a relative sense, most ebooks dealing with making money and promising "get rich quick" are scams.
