I'm seeing a lot of people *selling* advice for writers--plot structure, how to get published, how to self publish, etc--and it mostly looks like a huge scam, a way to get you to give them money that will not put you one inch closer to your goal.
Truth is, it's an industry that might decide it can make money off you, and talent/skill =\= success.
Just, you know, beware.
