Online Business E-Books Save You Money by Saving You Time

When reviewing various e-books, particularly on the subject of online businesses, my readers often ask me what is the point to buying an e-book when most everything discussed in these e-books can be found online. My one word answer: Time.

Time is money friend and a lot of time can be saved when purchasing the right kind of online business start-up or e-book. If the product is of good quality, not only will it have all the resources and links you need, but it often will already have entire websites, storefronts, and blogs ready to go “right out of the box!”

A good example of the time you can save for a few bucks comes from my own experiences when launching my first blog. I knew nothing about blogging and wasn’t about to buy the e-books when I knew I could find the information on my own. I had a bit of web-page design knowledge from tinkering around a couple years earlier but not much. All and all, It took me almost three months to get my first blog setup.

Rough draft of time spent:

3 weeks just reading and learning. Learning how to start my website, best software and host to use, all the basics of website design.

2 weeks just getting word press (the most common blogging software) installed and configured the way I wanted. I was on forums every day trying to figure out how to get a link to show here, or a picture to align in a certain way. To make good money, you need to host your own blog so setting up the web server and all the applications that go with it also took a lot of research before I could do it right.
