Using the internet is by far the easiest way to earn money, and many people have realized that.
And as with any legitimate industry, there will those who abuse it.
You may have fallen trap to one or several "make money scams", and have regrets about that.
The problem is not that people are selling e-books or coaching clubs that show people how to earn money.
Those things have helped countless people to quit their jobs and work from home, or just better their lives in some ways.
Anyone who figured out how to make money online could have kept all that information to themselves.
But many haven't, and in so doing has helped many people.
The problem with all these "make money scams" is they sell an inferior product without a guarantee.
The advice they offer and proof they present are either fake or useless.
And since they have no confidence if their products they don't offer any guarantees that you will be satisfied with it, and more importantly, earn money! So here's one test of a product that does not fall into the "make money scams" category: if they offer a money back guarantee and are able to deliver on it, then it is most probably legitimate.
Also, if you're interested in purchasing an e-book, unless it's a particularly comprehensive information product (ie a good couple of hundred pages), don't pay more for it than you would a normal paper-printed book.
E-books should be cheaper that regular books, unless it's a specialized information product.
Even so, its sometimes hard not fall for one of these "make money scams", unfortunately.
