Episode notes
Ebook Culture Intersects With Get-Rich-Quick Markets
- Buy-my-ebook culture often overlaps with broader get-rich-quick and digital-product ecosystems online.
- These products frequently monetize aspiration rather than delivering sustainable income or real value.
Brand Paradox: Selling Dependence For Profit
- Some influencers sell the image of dependence while profiting from that message, creating a self-feeding market.
- That paradox makes the scheme transparently grifty and ethically dubious even when overtly marketed.
Skeptically Evaluate Easy-Money Promises
- Beware offers promising quick creation and easy monthly income like "write an ebook in 24 hours and make $1,000 a month."
- If a pitch sounds too easy and lucrative, approach it skeptically and verify real customer outcomes.
