I have recently signed up to a couple of e-courses about developing a blog and getting traffic and another one about using the latest developments in Web2.0 social media sites to generate traffic and conversions. A lot of that information is out there for free if you have the time and aptitude to search for it. Even if you can locate it the information is never enough. You need to know how to apply it as an experienced person would do, i.e. know the setbacks and pitfalls and common mistakes and so on. E-courses, just like e-books are filters to avoid wasting scarce time and expensive effort getting nowhere slowly. I think that it's a total misnomer that "Knowledge is power" only through the application of knowledge can you increase your personal power. Most free information can never do that. Gathering knowledge and creating solutions and systems for implementation creates massive value and I think that is one of the prime benefits of your (or anyone else's practical) e-books.

I think that it’s a total misnomer that “Knowledge is power” only through the application of knowledge can you increase your personal power. Most free information can never do that. Gathering knowledge and creating solutions and systems for implementation creates massive value and I think that is one of the prime benefits of your (or anyone else’s practical) e-books.
