Default Selling ebooks

Hi folks,
today at work a colleage of mine made an 'interesting' suggestion: I would write english language ebooks, i.e. revise old ones ("no copy right problems at all", he said), or paste web site information into new ones, under my authorship, about internet marketing he would sell them and we'd become if not rich but liquid enough to quit our job.
He's expecting my decision on monday - well f... him
Some guys, he's 42, and he probably really thinks that he could get rich or something, so, is he as stupid as he sounds or is he trying to set me up, cheat me?

Does anyone of you how much of a scam this e-book (how to make money in the internet) business is?
A 100% scam or a fully completely scam?

Let me put it like this: If i were to be earning loads online why would I write an eBook and sell my master ideas for a few bucks?

I wouldn't need the extra money and I would just be creating more competition for myself.

They all contain useful info, but it is nothing that can't be found online free and all methods of making money on and offline require time, brains and effort.

If you want to make money online visit forums.digitalpoint.com

It's the worlds biggest webmaster forum, plenty to read, some good, some bad.

I know webmasters that make $100,000's a month, but they work hard and smart and have been doing it years.
