Thinking
About Buying a Breakup Book? Here's what you need to know before you purchase!
The truth about break up books.
Hello, my name
is Tigress Luv... better known as Tigress Luv, The Breakup Guru, and I want
to share with you a few secrets about breakup ebooks. I think it's high time
the truth came out (plus I really, REALLY need to get this injustice off
my chest)! But first allow me to tell you a little bit about me... I started
learning about break ups many years ago when I went through a very
traumatic break up myself. I wanted to understand what was behind the tragic
grief I experienced. After learning - and analyzing - and
investigating - and delving in, I began to understand and see break
ups for what they really were. I knew breakups inside and out!
Keeping up with
my research I then came to understand all there was to know about the real
pain of break ups, and how to cure that pain. I wrote my first book on the
subject at this time, How to Get Over a
Breakup. I had become an expert on people and what makes them 'tick'.
These insights became the theme of my second book on how to
Stop or Reverse a break up. In the mid-90's I started
my career online as a breakup expert and Community Leader and Advisor on
the relationship break up boards at iVillage. Not soon after, I started my
own breaking up grief support and recovery site called 'Tigress Den' at iVillage.
Since then I have written extensively on breakups, on stopping breakups and
winning back your ex, on commitment phobia, relationships in general, and
on infidelity. Living through it all myself, plus having nearly 20 years
experience working daily with people going through breakups, has helped me
to educate even more valuable lessons and insights.

OK, now that
I have established who I am, let's establish who I am NOT. I am not a
salesperson, a professional networker, a con artist, a scam or a fraud, a
killer sales page writer, or a marketing expert. My field of expertise lies
within relationships and understanding people, their motivations, and their
actions. I also know about emotional pain.
With that said, I have major grievances with something that has becoming
increasingly commonplace online lately: Consumer fraud and false claims of
expertise, false claims of authorship, plagiarism, and a 'make money fast'
on ebook marketing mania.
If you go to
Elance.com you will see dozens and dozens and dozens of people (I call them
'ebookpreneurs' [people who make money selling ebooks online]) looking for
writers (doesn't matter if they are good writers, as long as they are cheap)
to 'rewrite' other authors' ebooks for them, make them a sales letter for
the ebook, and edit the book - in fact, approximately 17,000 requests are
submitted each month to Elance for such services!
Below are some
examples of such ads. Note that these 'ebookpreneurs' are simply looking
for writers, they don't care about the accuracy or expertise of what these
'writers' are educating the reader about. They are simply looking for a
'sensational' ebook idea that they think will surely sell! The writer need
not know a damned thing about the subject! In fact, there are writers out
there who have written ebooks on everything from how to find a husband to
how to cure acne. Sad. Are these writers really someone you would trust to
tell you how to save your precious relationship, and help you with your breakup?
Here are just 'some' (a small portion taken from only one day's posting of
requests at Elance) examples of ebookpreneurs looking for ebook writers:

What's all this
have to do with breakup books you ask? Well, these 'ebookpreneurs' want to
make money - off of you - and here's how they do it. They go to elance
and hire someone to write them a book on breakups. The people they hire don't
have to be experts, or even literate. Hell, they don't even have to know
anything at all about the subject! They just have to buy someone else's book
(or someone else's 'rewritten' and 'reworded' mess), and then rewrite it
yet again. This goes on and on, so much so that eventually books are being
reworded and copy-catted over and over again. The original meaning, concept,
and content becoming so distorted and unreliable that the copy is totally
useless! It doesn't matter if the book becomes too 'unpassable', after all,
they don't care about you - they only care about getting your
money - so they now hire another person at Elance to make them a
'killer sales page' designed by a professional sales letter writer who knows
his stuff when it comes to luring the customer into making a purchase. This
killer sales page will usually make claim that the author is a professional
or expert in whatever field the book is about. If you are wondering how these
killer sale pages are done, visit
http://www.clickhereyouidiot.com
to see how their professionally designed sales pages are constructed to lure
you in and get your hard-earned cash! It is hysterical, but true!
You can now see how even those breakup book's sales pages are designed
to hook and lure you in to purchasing their crap (and they are, truly, written
in the style of a killer 'sales letter'! LOL). You'll love it! |

The sad
point is the fact that I, myself, have had to resort to using the killer
sales page tactics sometimes in order to compete with all my 'copycats' out
there. Disgusting, isn't it, what these scammers and frauds force us legitimate
authors to do to stay alive and online?! Fortunately for me I don't have
to lay it on too thick as I have a very good reputation *grins*! But
you WILL see that these other 'authors' have nothing more than a one-page
sales letter site to sell their 'works'. How much of an expert can they be?
I have over a hundred websites dealing with breakups, infidelity, and grief,
plus dozens and dozens of support groups online!
Another sad thing
is that these people know nothing about real relationships; breakups; grief;
or even insights into what, actually, motivates people and influences our
emotions! I wrote one breakup 'diva' author and asked her (him?) where they
learned about breakups and do you know how they answered me? "Um, you know,
around..."! I KID YOU NOT! Those were their exact words! LOL...
I wrote another one who had plagiarized one of my own books and he answered
that he had hired someone at Elance to write the book for him - and now that
he knew that the writer had merely copied and poorly reworded my book it
explained the fact to him why the project was such a mess that it took his
editors over 100 hours to try and 'fix it'! OMG! Yet when I went on his sales
page it said that the author was an expert and a licensed therapist, and
that the book came with a free phone consultation session! This person was
actually coming off as a pro and even offering 'professional' advice and
consulting sessions! This 'pro' had also sold ebooks on wedding planning,
running a day care, spying on spouses and loved ones, animal care, speaking,
etc. Can you imagine reading a book like that and taking the advice offered
in it? Tragic!
Here are some
examples of ads at elance from 'ebookpreneurs' looking for people to write
them sales letters for their crappy 'reworded' or 'copycat' ebooks:

(And, if you
have the money after you get the ebook written, edited, and killer sales
page 'grab-the-customer' ready [which these 'professional' scammers do!]
then you can hire another person at elance to put it all together
for you! All you need to know is how to send money through PayPal to your
elance-found employees email addresses and you are well on your way to a
finished 'copycat' money-making machine! ...as shown in this post>) I
am looking to have a sales site created with an original make money
in real estate theme. I have an e-book that I will be looking to
distribute, so I also need a cover designed for that. The site itself will
be uncomplicated, designed for use with Clickbank.com. It needs a main page,
affiliate page, disclaimer popup, privacy policy, and a landing page that
will be hit only after a purchase has been made. Nothing too complicated,
extra consideration if you have a verifiable track record of writing effective
ad copy.
The finalized
project is an 'ebook' and sales site ready to MAKE YOU BUY ... and this ebook
is usually placed at clickbank.com!
What eventually
happens is the whole, entire Internet is going to become a place with
unscrupulous merchants and web browsers who have been scammed so many times
that they do not trust anyone's content enough to purchase online at
all!
EWWWWWW!!!!!!!
I worked hard and long to learn what I know, to gain the experience, compassion,
and expertise that I have, and it infuriates me no end that someone would
copy or reword my work - usually leaving out important data or getting the
whole concept wrong because the writer hired to do this isn't literate,
comprehensible, or even have English as a language. Yes, that's right, they
first have to try and TRANSLATE the words into another language. Then these
very same people are claiming to be experts and charging enormous
fees for you to purchase this material, and to get HAD by them - them,
the ebookpreneurs who run laughing to the bank, while your whole world ends
up falling apart around you because you 'believed' in their advice!
In fact, these
people have so little knowledge in the field they are writing about that
they can actually do more harm than good...I mean, SEVERE damage to people's
lives. I urge people to use strong caution when purchasing anything
from a site that uses 'ClickBank.com' as their merchant processor. If you
click on the purchase link, and go to a ClickBank 'Secure Order Form' checkout
page, you should backtrack and do some more investigating on the product
you are purchasing before you commit to the purchase.
I am so angry
that these ripoff artists are stealing other's copy and getting rich on it
that I am selling my ORIGINAL ebooks here for a fraction of the cost that
the copy-catters and 'mis-worders' are. (Most are selling 'reworded' crap
for $49 or more!).
All in all, if
you don't want to be scammed but you sincerely want to recover from a breakup
or get your ex back, trust someone who has been helping people do this for
years! Purchase my How To Get Over A Breakup book, and get some REAL
help for a change. And, if you want to learn how to get your boyfriend or
girlfriend back, and how to STOP a break up and win your ex back, get a copy
of my How To STOP a Break Up ebook here on this page. My ORIGINAL
COPIES and at a REASONABLE price.
They are available
to anyone who purchases from this page at their ORIGINAL prices because I
want to put these scammers out of business and get back to a legitimate Internet
where everyone will feel comfortable and confident again in visiting. If
people stop purchasing their over-priced crap, the real, original authors
can bring their prices back down and their customers can get the satisfaction
of accurate advice from real people-in-the-know.
Yes, that's it.
The scary - but true - facts on how people get scammed into buying worthless
junk online, and totally bogus (and possibly damaging) breakup books. Don't
fall for it when it comes to something as precious as you, your relationships,
your love of your life, and your emotional health.

Just to let you
know, these were the original prices of these ebooks, before the copycats
and scammers forced me to raise my prices to compete with them. I figure,
if I don't put a stop to these 'ebookpreneurs' soon, nothing will be cost
efficient or reliable online in the future.
Ah! Thank you
so much for letting me get all this off my chest! It is SUCH a relief! Now
I can find peace again knowing that maybe I saved a few from getting scammed,
from ruining their lives and relationships, and from losing their beloved
to poor advice and phony professionalism. Well, well worth the loss I will
take in profit, don't you think?!
