The first book i read about affiliate marketing was Rosalinda’s Super Affiliate Handbook; my first multimedia reading was a low grade chinese Photoshop dummy guides; the first money book i bumped into was Robert Kiyosaki’s Rich Dad Poor Dad.

The similarity in this? crappy, if not, much of the content are useless info.

In the same time, these ‘crappy-stuffs’ are life changing. Rosalinda’s book was so simple and it makes internet marketing looks so easy to me; the photoshop dummy guides lifted my interest in multimedia which then lead me to flash animation and website production later; and of course, the well known Robert’s Rich Dad Poor Dad series impact millions to re-learn about money and achieve better financially.

Sometime it’s just too hard to seperate between good and bad - you’re amazed how stupid you were spending hundreds or even thousands on those useless dummy guides; but then again it’s those dummy books that got you started learning.

You might complain dummy guides are overpriced all the time when compare to those useful books that provide advance skills/knowledge - but hey, the main reason dummy guides are selling expensive are, well, being dumb! the value of dummy guides lay on how they make things look simple, which in turn get you started on whatever that you wish to learn. right?

So next time when you found a *useless* book in your book rack - don’t curse and think the book publishers are money-sucker; congrat yourself instead coz you’re at least better than dummy in that field! you dont need the dummy guide anymore, but many others might still need it. so why not just share out the book with other dummies?
