When I first read Affiliate Avalanche by David Cooper, I was afraid it was going to be another one of those pie-in-the-sky "wake up to a full bank account" guides full of empty promises.

I'm not an idiot. I don't need someone coddling me into thinking making money online is a breeze, so I was really wary from the start. I've read too many lame guides that promise everything under the sun.

Starting on his sales page for Affiliate Avalanche, Cooper made me roll my eyes a couple of times - like when he starts dropping hints of six figure salaries.

But I figured what the hell!

There's a guarantee with this baby, so if it's just another make money online eBook laden with empty promises, I won't have risked a dime.

I'm happy to report Cooper's eBook is not hype-filled at all. In fact, it's the first time I've ever read an Internet marketer say that affiliate marketing is actually WORK! Can you believe it?

He tells you straight up to work on your FIRST sale and then you repeat the process until it's virtually automated and then your income snowballs into the big-daddy paychecks we all dream of.

So okay, I put old Cooper's strategies to the test - everything from the simple hidden keyword advice to advanced stuff I'd never tried until he explained it to me, like vlogging (video blogging).

I couldn't make a dime with the audio - but maybe it's my backwoods accent nobody adored. I did make a pretty penny with the vlog, though - Google loved that because I mixed it with text and video kept 'em coming back.

My take on David Cooper's Affiliate Avalanche?

Two thumbs up!

If your tooth hurts, you go to a dentist. If you need your brakes checked, you see a mechanic. If you want to learn how to create and launch an eBook, you go to Tiffany Dow.

Building an eBook Empire was her second eBook. Back up a minute. Actually, this girl's probably written more eBooks than anyone else on the internet. She was a ghostwriter for the gurus!

This eBook teaches you everything in a Dummies way - so that even if you don't know what an autoresponder is, you soon will. But it's also a tell-all about her time writing for such gurus as John Reese, Rich Schefren, Jimmy Brown, and others.

The game of making money online is sometimes dirty when you're in the trenches, and although Dow doesn't advocate every method she exposes, she's truthful about how some top marketers go about building a successful business.

I hate to say it, but I found the bonus report (almost 20 pages, so it's almost an eBook on its own) to be more of what I needed than the eBook itself! Not because the eBook wasn't worth it, but because I think my own personal needs were in learning HOW to write and the bonus title, How to Write a Great Product When You're Not a Professional Writer sums it up.

I was already experienced at launching my own eBook, but I did still pick up plenty of tips I hadn't thought of before when I read Building an eBook Empire.

My advice? Get it done the way Dow says to do it - and follow through to the end until your launch is a success.

She even used a human guinea pig (Sandra Brown) to test her make money online eBook and last I heard, Sandra had made over $4,000 in one month on her first eBook. Not too shabby!

Forget the usual side dish of

fluff and filler!

Gobala's WordPress AdSense System gets straight to the point from the very first page where he tells you what you need to download to get things ready to rock and roll.

This make money online eBook is all about blogging and making money from those tiny little AdSense ads, but it covers every single thing - with screen shots.

I was so skeptical with this baby that I downloaded the first two chapters free, and if that isn't enough to convince you, nothing will.

In WordPress AdSense System, you learn everything from engineering your WordPress blog to mass-generating traffic for it for maximum profits.

The writing? Professional, easy to read, and comprehensive.

Two thumbs up!

Membership sites are like the gift that keeps on giving.

You don't court a customer for a single sale. As you learn in Membership Site Bible, it continues to provide income and grows over time.

I'll tell you the truth - I always felt like a membership site was just too much work. I mean, catering to a customer's needs once with an automated eBook download is one thing...providing fresh content on a monthly basis for years sounded excruciating.

Most make money online eBooks look at it from a quick gratification standpoint - how can I make the $1,500 it's going to cost me to get my car fixed by Friday!?

But Membership Site Bible took a different approach - teaching you a business model that includes predictions and growth. Don't worry, it's not too complicated.

What I love about this guide is its no-nonsense lessons. If you truly want to invest your time (yes, and a little bit of money) into building a bona fide business, then this is the eBook you've been looking for.

What this ebook teaches you will provide you money for years and years to come.

But, if you're scared of rolling up your sleeves (or just hoping the magic Internet Money Fairy will bless your bank account while you sleep), skip this and go buy your hype elsewhere.
