I am reasonably new to the internet world. I started my own website in 2004. I have a passion for gardening and I thought it would be interesting to pass on all the information I had gathered over the years, by way of a website.I thought all I had to do was create pages,fill them with information and I would instantly receive visitors to my site.Well, of course, I was sadly mistaken!
How to get visitors to my site was an ongoing problem, shared by many other webmasters I'm sure,and I had trouble finding an answer. Until one day,I discovered "E Books!".

This must be the answer,everyone seemed to have them on their web sites,and they were getting paid to feature and sell them. I decided to download some of these books to find out what they were all about.

Eagerly anticipating that I had found the answer to my "traffic" problem, I scrolled down the pages reading as quickly as I could, hoping to find the knowledge I had been missing.

What a disappointment!!! there was nothing of interest,no sincerity in the writing and very little fact. I decided to look at other Ebooks on different subjects,to check them out.I realized after spending many hours on this project, that they were mostly all hype.The long long introductions to these "wonder" books was all hot air and very little substance.

Many people must have made a lot of money on the backs of others, those who thought that by reading an ebook they would have the answer to untold wealth, just by following instructions. I often wonder about all those "testimonials"that they show,did all these people REALLY, make all that money?

Have we been mesmerized by the authors of some of these books into believing that we can't possibly know the secrets that they hold,we need someone to open our eyes, to tell us how to do almost anything?. I do believe that there are some Ebooks that do help in internet marketing,but where does it end? Now there are so many on the internet that they can't give them away.!!

We should rely on our own research to give us information and then we would know that it is based on fact,not someone else's ideas.We rely, too much,on the "quick fix", not taking the benefit of our own intellect to move us forward.

I have decided to write my own Ebook on gardening,as a Master gardener and speaker, surely I must be able to fill the pages with content worth reading,but then that's only my opinion!!!!
