About Steven AitchisonWhen I first started reading ebooks way back at the end of the 1990’s I didn’t ever think there would be a time when there would be free, valuable, information on the net. It’s only when Rich Schefren and Eben Pagan started moving ‘The Free Line’ that things really started moving. Then of course, more recently, Frank Kern started releasing his free videos packed full of information for marketers and entrepreneurs to help start and drive your business forward.
I have scoured the net for more recent bloggers and businesses who have released ebooks and manifestos to help others drive their businesses forward.
It’s an approach I am now taking and will be releasing 2 free ebooks before the end of the year which will be packed full of great info. For now I will share some of the best ebooks I have read which you can grab for free (you might have to sign up for some of them but believe me they are worth your email address), Also I have not set the links to open a new tab (not got my faithful Dreamweaver here in Turkey) so right click each link and click on ‘open in new tab’:

Steve,
I find you absolutely amazing. Many people with financial difficulties can’t afford to purchase online webinars, ebooks, seminars etc. What you have done is given them the opportunity to succeed in spite of ________ (fill in the blank). I think you’re one of the most sincere bloggers I know and I’m grateful for the gifts and hope you bring to everyone. I have one question for you: How can I serve you?
Hi Tess, thank you for your kind words. I honestly believe that anyone, with the books listed above, can find a business model they like and run with it to make money for themselves.
Wow, Stephen, thanks so much for putting this list together. I have read a few of the ebooks, but there are lots here that I have never heard of. I guess I have a lot of reading to do!
Thanks again,
Karen

Rosangel recently posted..La Astrología al servicio de la Selección de Personal
Hi Rosangel, I honestly believe if we have knowledge and resources we should share them openly and hopefully this list will help a lot of people.
Thanks very much for this valuable offering; I am looking into starting an online business and I know nothing of the ins and outs. These offerings are seriously opening the doors. Love and Light
Hi Lauren, I wish you all the best with your online business and hopefully some of these ebooks will help.
Thanks so much for this gifts from you to us. You have shown us your honest and i believe not everybody would like to share this for free but you just decided to reward your readers.

kim klassen recently posted..the perfect day series continues be yourselfeveryone else is taken
Hi Kim, all of the books above are gems to be savoured and the words in them have true power, and I hope you make time to read them if you think they will help.
This is a real gift you have brought together Steve. Your timing is perfect too. I’ve been working on an idea for a free ebook the last week or two, and looking at some of these great titles in your list has been so helpful.
Suddenly it’s not quite as big a task as I was thinking it was.
A pleasure always to visit your site; I’m feeling more and more at home here… (hope you and your family had a great time in Turkey by the way. Now THERE’S a country I’d like to see.
Christopher Foster recently posted..Power of patience critical to lasting happiness
Hi Christopher, I am honoured you feel at home here. If there is anything I can do to help you with your ebook let me know, just send an email and I’ll gladly help out.
This is tremendously helpful. What a great resource to share with your readers. I look forward to getting started on your list!
Happiness and Wisdom recently posted..Review- The Habit Guide
Hi M or H, thanks for you comments on this, hope you like the ebooks.
HI Steven,
Just the right time for me…this list is so awesome! I am so bad with this business stuff…that i think given the opportunity I might work for free forever…;) (my hubby calls me a hare in business) You see he is an MBA with an entrepreneur mind set…so me doing things for free, is like unnatural to him
I am gonna literally read through these books…and hopefully find a way to monetize my blog…without actually monetizing it…if thats even possible
Thank you my ultimate resource for all things awesome!
Much Love~
Z
Hi Zeenat, great to hear from you.
Wonderful that you are starting to monetize your blog, without actually monetizing it (I know exactly what you mean
and you’ve got the right idea.
Steve, great idea, think I’ll borrow it for my list!
Seriously, what a wonderful way to give away value. I think it will inspire the rest of us to think about the resources we have used. You’re right, who would have thought there would be so much free information on the web.
I advise the rest of us to pick one book at a time though to make sure it gets read. This is from a recovering book-hoarder….!
God bless
Doug
Hi Doug, glad you found this list useful and feel free to share it in any way you like. I was a book hoarder as well, so I know what you mean, I still can’t talk about the day I had to give up over 1000 books to make room in my new home
Steven:
You had to give up 1,000 books to make room for yourself? I thought I was the only one! Now with the advent of e-books, we just need several terabytes of data storage…
Love your work, and thanks for contributing. I’ll be regular.
I second and third all the WOWs! Thank you so much for this. (HA! Like I don’t have enough reading to do already!)
I bookmarked this and will definitely make use of the resources you gathered. So much info out there for the taking and it’s all helpful to me. I’ve been blogging on a personal blog for 8 years but that’s a whole different basket of eggs than professional blogging to go along with a business. Steep learning curve but my little “love to learn” mind is happy!
Thanks again.
Lisa@PracticallyIntuitive recently posted..Wandering Around Wednesday
Hi Lisa. It’s fantastic you’re still blogging after 8 years, not many people in that category. Let me know if I can help in any way.
What a valuable resource, thank you so much. I’ll definitely bookmark this post and read a good bit of it.
Thanks for your comments Vernon, much appreciated.
Wow Steven,
I’ve probably have only read 8 of those 50 ebooks, I guess there’s lots I need to catch up on!
How are you doing yourself, Steven? I hope all is well…

I just found your website such excellent free resources, alot of reading but well worth it by the looks of these titles, so thank you!
Hi Steven, wow thanks so much for all the resources. I guess now the problem is finding the time to actually read some of them. I’m a not a very good reader. my short attention span doesn’t allow me to retain what reading very well.
