Take grocery stores, for instance. How many are in your neighborhood, all selling much of same food goods? That's called 'competition', and we all have to face it, one way or another, at some time. Right?

Does one stop selling bread', just because guy around corner also sells bread? NO!

Do we stop selling a particlular item online, just because others are also selling it online?

NO, WE DON'T...!

Businesses are built on competition, and our online businesses are no different.

If a certain piece of merchandise you sell is not moving well, maybe it is time to replace it. But NOT just because others also sell it.

If others are trying to sell for $3.95 what others, and you, are selling for $19.95, THAT is not competition, that is called "cutthroat" business.

Whatever competition is, we need to face it, and deal with it as best we can.

So, don't be afraid of competition ... we all have it.

Then, of course, some of those original $17.95 ebooks are finding there way into these 'packages.' The very same ebooks that many of us are still trying to sell.

How many of those $17.95 ebooks have you seen "on sale" for $1.00? Or given away free? Plus umpteen bonuses?

To me, that's really diluting profits of everyone trying to sell ebooks. There's always someone willing to 'give away store', in an effort to knock out competition.

There are some ebook authors out there, though, that seem to have right idea. When their ebook is purchased, there is a stipulation that ebook CANNOT BE GIVEN AWAY, OR RE-PACKAGED. And it must be SOLD for (between 2 price ranges).

But, even then, I've seen these very same ebooks being GIVEN, and RE-PACKAGED against author's wishes. And this, as I see it, violates author's copyright.

Bonuses are great instruments if used correctly.

But ARE we?
