A feel-good teaser into striking out on your own…,
I think this is a great book to fire the imagination of those wanting to get out of the rat-race and head off, captaining their own ship.
George tells you a little about himself, entrepreneurial beginnings and his increasingly successful forays into the internet marketing world.
There is a lot of introductory material regarding building affiliate websites, including the actual location of products with affiliate programs, the purchasing of domain names and the construction of websites.
This is all good stuff – but don’t go thinking that this is a blueprint to affiliate marketing riches. It takes a lot more in-depth work to identify a paying market and then monetise your site. You’ll end up competing with other affiliate marketers and you will need to become clued up on many other subjects: Search Engine Optimisation (SEO), Pay Per Click (if you want to buy your website traffic rather than get it ‘organically’).
There is also almost no material about setting up a business itself and, whilst its true that you should concentrate on actually making some money first, once you’re up and running, you’ll need to make sure you’ve got your accounts in order – the VAT man (and HMRC Revenue and Customs in general) is not someone you want to get on the wrong side of.
I think this is a great inspirational book for making people sit up and *want* to strike out on their own. But, as with all these type of books, people should read them with the understanding that these are introductory teasers to a different way of working. There are many many areas of knowledge that you will need to “flesh out” if you want to truly set-up on your own and become successful. I think the best advice I could give is – be prepared to work a lot harder in the initial months/years if you set up on your own – you will hold every position in your business – from the CEO right down to the Cleaner. It can be hugely satisfying and rewarding – but like most things that are worth having – it takes time and effort to achieve.

|Not a complet picture.,
The book is about how to earn money online by using Internet marketing such as Google Adsense or Affiliate methods. The writer seems to have forgotten that while it is possible to earn money online, it is definitely not easy money.
Pros: Gives you basic knowledge of Internet Marketing.
Mentions free tools and methods you can use.
Good and inspiring read at times.
If you are completely new to Internet Marketing and contents creating then this book tries to show you some ropes.
Examples of his own web ventures to assure it is possible.
Cons: Only the second half of the book is useful in a practical way.
Repetitive at times.
Doesn’t mentions any legal issues which you have to comply to if you create a website or blog for earning purpose. For example Google Adsense requires every website which shows its Adsense Program to have a Privacy Policy. No mention for such issue. Neither is for Terms and Conditions of a website.
It fails to tell you that the reality of living off the net requires a good understanding of SEO, be able to use the website or blog creating tools competently, ample amount of time, and dedication.
On the whole, the book is OK if you are new in IM or hoping to take your first step, but then there is nothing new which is not already on the net for free.

|Don’t waste your money on this book,
Get out while you can… and don’t waste your money buying this book!! I can’t believe how many good reviews this book got, I’m cross with myself for buying this kind of junk. I’m looking to shake things up and escape the rat race, I was hoping for some genuine advice on doing this, but this book offers none. If I’m honest I found the authors style to be more ranting than witty. His idea seems to focus on selling other people information you have. That’s what his book is doing, selling an idea/a dream to people who are prepared to pay for it. We are funding his dream, his 1 hour a day of work, and at the end we have nothing to show in return.
I must be honest and confess I’m only half way through according to my kindle. I’m desperately hoping it will improve and I can come back and eat my words but it pains me to continue reading this book, it’s wasting my (apparently very valuable) time. I will attempt to struggle through to the end and come back to update this review. So far I have learnt I need multiple revenue streams (no clues how yet), should value my time (ok, I already do), and that I’m a victim of wage slavery. Half a book to repeat this on a loop. YAWN!
