Right. Assuming Im going to get

Has anyone knocked up an automatic e-books business. I mean its not difficult. Ebay account, website, paypal, automated to send books on response. Seems easy money to me for an automated solution.

Has anyone(sigh) done anything similar(who am I kidding) and how did you get on(no threaded time machine gags please)?

So MF is asking about opportunity

Milan is rubbishing the idea without any seeming justification.

Which one would you prefer to follow for plan B?
The trier or the loser?

Our survey said
the majority of people who make lots of money follow tried and tested methods and techniques

Feel free to re-invent the wheel, but don't be expecting to get rich anytime soon.

Not that wealth is everything. Spiritual fulfilment is important too.
Apparently there's a course on buddhism you can do, which teaches you the whole shmear, zen, nirvana, enlightenment, reincarnation. It's expensive, at £75,000, but hey, you only live once.

MF - focus on something you do best, like writing Crystal Reports and maybe selling tat to local chavs in Swindon.

So having checked out some ebook ebay retailers. One chap turned over £40000 last year on ebay. I checked his site out and its quite simple, automated mail out based on paypal payment. So no idea, what he made through the site as well.

In an already saturated market are you looking to be a 'me-too' or differentiate in some way. I suppose it depends on what you are offering there are a number things like

a) Lists - Auction house, police auctions, wholesale lists
b) How to do things, set up a business, be a successful ebayer like me, be a tw@t like Milan
c) E-book information. Ie. Technical guides etc(Amazon cover this)
d) Play on being gullible. Make $10000 per month for little work.

The question is. Is it worth setting up an automated system to sell these contents to the stupid/greedy or inquisitive. Could this same automated site be used to sell software that I have written or better still offer it as a means for others to sell it, but for a commission.

I dont expect anyone on here to offer a meaningful opinion apart from maybe Scotspine if he's around.

The problem is ATW & Milan are followers with delusions of leadership. Sad really.

Dont be fooled into get rich quick schemes !
