This seems to be at least semi-reputable: http://www.squidoo.com/7-dollar-secrets

It's not. If any ebook had all the information you needed to make money online, the author would just use the techniques himself and scale them instead of putting them in a $7 ebook.

Perhaps the technique he describes in his ebook is to sell $7 ebooks, which he is apparently doing.

You're right. I believe the premise of the $7 ebook is that $7 is the "breaking point" price that people can buy something they're unsure about and not be upset that they've wasted too much money.

Semi-reputable?

I get 50 of these "get rich" guides by e-mail every day.

If you ever need more "semi-reputable" information like that then just drop me note. For a small fee of only $7 dollars I'll send you a tarball of my spam folder.
