There are a lot of people reviewing e-books on ezines who aren’t being very honest about their reviews of the particular book they’re reviewing!

Think of an e-book you’ve bought that you thought was an utter waste of money and then type the name of that book in to an ezine search and I guarantee you’ll find more than a couple of reviews raving about how great it is!

Why do they recommend rubbish products? Possibly because they’re affiliates for that product which means they’ll get paid a percentage of the money that someone spends if they buy through the reviewers link.

There’s nothing wrong with being an affiliate for a product, I don’t have any problem with that at all! Its an honest way to make a living! What bothers me to the point of utter distraction is the affiliates that promote these “make easy money” type e-books! These types of books are a con! You might get some hints and tips from them but they wont make you rich!

There’s so many of the gifts promoting these type of books that you can’t tell which reviews are genuine and which ones are just a sales letter for the thing! It’s getting very boring because there’s so many that don’t care if the book is good or not, as long as you buy through their link so they get the commission on the sale they’ll say what ever it takes and try to seem as genuine as possible about it.

I blame the “make money in your sleep” type e-books for this annoyance! Its these books that tell people to submit reviews to ezines and blogs and even give examples on how they should do it. The result is that there’s hundreds and thousands of people typing reviews about things in exactly the same style. First bash a product, then point to the good points of it, then praise the product because of the good points it has, then recommend that you should buy the product through the link which they’ve thoughtfully added at the bottom of their article.

The link might go to a page they created which has a link to the product they’ve reviewed on it but either way when you buy from these articles, the only thing you can be sure of is that the reviewer will have made some money from you!

You won’t know if you’ve been suckered till it’s to late.
