Those Flippin’ eBook Thieves…
Posted by Jason in Daily RamblingSales of the eBook doing well; so well, in fact that the inevitable has happened – one twit tried to sell a rehashed copy that was clearly screwed; he probably used a PDF ==> Word converter and back, and that doesn’t do too well. Take a look at the opening sentence:
Another eBook, yok ask? First off, let me introdkce myself; I’m Jason Pereira, a bkdding Internet entreprenekr
Twit! He even forgot to change the name. Anyways, a friend of mine added him on MSN and directed a few polite threats his way; the guy crapped his pants and went offline. Sucks to be a jackass, heh? There’s another guy who I think is selling my eBook, as the thread looks similar; we’ll see how it is though as I’ve asked if I could buy a copy – if same, he’s getting a bashing too. * EDIT * Just ended an interesting conversation involving him and the full legal team of The University Kid Dot Com (hehe); any of y’all want to read it, ask me on MSN.
Facebook is for ****wits Idiots
I swear I’m going to delete everything from Facebook; keep getting tonnes of annoying messages. Heck, thanks for writing on my wall, sending my a message or changing your mood, but to be honest – I don’t give a shit! Take a look at the messages I’ve deleted recently…
Considering I have two Facebook applications that I’m thinking of getting done, that’s not good at all. Don’t worry though; I’ll only send you one spam mail a day
There is a lot of potential in Facebook and Myspace, and along with affiliate marketing that’s another huge area I haven’t even made a splash in; we’ll see. eBook sales are slowly dying, although I still made around $160~ yesterday with everything, something I’m pretty happy with. The SitePoint listing is currently at $310; a price I’d be pretty happy with – I’ll keep it up for a day longer though and see what happens.
I put up a post on Webmaster Discounts actually filled with interesting content; the site appears to be down at the moment so I’ll post a live link as soon as it starts working. I’ve also received a potential writing job for a blog that recently sold for a large sum of money; I’ll let you guys know if that comes off. Time to watch some football; more later.
EDIT – Webmaster Discounts back up; enjoy the post; Three Reasons Why You should start your own blog.




What a moron to leave your name in the e-book, pah what a n00b.
Fcuking hell you guys are fast. I posted this like thirty seconds ago!
Err yeah
, I am fast, I love TUK!
Fast eh..??
Was slightly late
good luck on the sitepoint sale Jason
Yeah I wish you luck, I want you to get over 500!
Who was that idiot? Someone at Dp?
Best of luck with SitePoint auction.
Maybe you could publicly humiliate the person on this blog
Some little kid at DP. I hate discriminating against age, but it seems that everyone I know that’s younger than me is a bit of an idiot…
As for humiliating him on the blog, aw shucks – I would never do that! Well, maybe if he pisses me off some more, but I think he shat himself when I mentioned the DMCA…
People are such bastards, stealing the work of quality workers like us
Atleast tell us the name..
In DP style:
“PM me the details”
Hehe,
It was a guy called Jelle Sturm. After I added him on MSN, made him crap his pants then found out he was only 14 (or 18, as he claims on his site), I decided to let it go – telling him that I would call my lawyers off if he promised to delete it from his computer and never sell again.
LOL 14 year olds. You know I occasionally go to the 12 year old blogger sites for fun. I have nothing against them, but I doubt a 12 year old is making any decent money. And I don’t give a sh!t if they claim they are.
Hehe, I had this guy shitting his pants. He was full of crap though, long story, I doubt he’s gonna copy any of Jason’s ebooks anymore. Good thing you have good legal backing Jason (me). haha
Btw, if anyone wants to send any hate mail to the guy, or just lets the spam bots pick up his email, its:
cunt –> denindiaan@hotmail.com
I don’t agree with the hate mail, but I was wondering what the guy’s website was. It would be nice to see if it is actually decent.
uhhh.. isn’t this discussion getting a bit out-of-hand.
Why can’t a guy be young and still make money? Consider me, I just turned 15 in August and am making some pretty decent cash, made $600 already this month, not exactly a pittance eh?
Ask Jason, if you doubt me :p
I see the bid is at $500 now Jason..
that’s great!
People reselling your eBooks is kinda of a sign of success, your writing is so well done BAM money is greedy for everyone
Current Bid: $600
Good for you! Best Wishes Jason
Good luck jason, it should reach 1000!
Good luck.
The TUK Legal Team may keep getting busier if you keep putting out those quality ebooks!
