Are you being swarmed with endless surges of new marketing ebooks being released?

If you're not, listen - at last count there're over 10,000 marketing related ebooks being sold online!

Nobody can buy them all, no matter how enticing their sales copy made them out to be.

The easiest way to avoid the hype is to look deeply into such offers and decide for yourself with a logical mind.

That said, here are some methods to 'steal' any marketing ebook without first rushing to put your hard earned money down:

(1) Do A Trade Or Barter

This would be the quickest 'no-cost' way to do it.

Simply contact the authors, or resellers, to negotiate a barter of their products with your own.

This works great even if you do not currently have your own products.

For example, you can always use giveaway or master resell rights products you own (if it's within the guidelines).

You'd be surprised how effective this 'win-win' strategy can be.

(2) Check out those testimonials

Another way is to really read the testimonials at the ebook site.

Are they simple one, two-liners that don't say a lot? Or are they genuine, objective and descriptive testimonials?

You'll always get a better idea of the ebook in question with the latter type of testimonials.

You can also email the testimonial givers for their feedback.

I've done this numerous times and it had been useful in helping my buying decisions.

(3) Seek feedback

Try getting feedback of these ebooks before purchasing them.

For example, use the search engines or forums to seek reviews.

Go to http://www.google.com and type in "the ebook name + reviews" and you'll find gold. Read a few of the reviews and suddenly everything becomes clearer.

Post in forums for genuine advice and feedback on the ebooks. You can receive good responses using this method.

How about emailing the authors themselves?

Ask them for more information about how their products can help you. You may often get positive replies which can be extremely beneficial to both parties.

You can similarly check out http://www.marketingproductreview.com for unbiased reviews of marketing products.

(4) Subscribe to their follow-up lists

Here's a trick that doesn't cost a dime.

Most ebook sites offer primers, ecourses etc. as a follow-up strategy to lock in prospects.

You should subscribe to these.

What these primers and ecourses provide are really skimmed-down versions of the ebooks.

In this way, it's possible for you to 'steal' the most critical information contained in these ebooks.

You'll also have a clearer overview of the ebooks with these ecourses, enabling you to make better buying decisions.

The authors may also give 'special deals' after a few days through the follow-up emails.

I can tell you there're hardly any 'secrets' left, so don't go buying every other ebook that comes along.

Use the above methods and you'll be able to 'steal' critical information on any marketing ebook. Buy it when you've a better picture of the value it provides.

This can immediately save you much precious time and money in the long-run.
