Multiple Streams of Internet Income: How Ordinary People Make Extraordinary Money Online, 2nd Edition

I can't wait to finish this book. I need a coach and it looks like it will be very helpful. Without all the added costs like you see on facebook.

It was a little dated. I have not read it. I saw the chapter titles and figured it was skim worthy and I would read it at a later date.

This is a wonderful, exciting book, which you absolutely MUST read and re-read if you want to make money - not just make a web site.I have spent more than $15,000 (yes, fifteen thousand) on books on marketing over the last several years. Also I am a high-paid Internet programmer/consultant (and have spent even more on Internet books). So when I bought this book - I didn't expect to learn too much about Internet or marketing. I was wrong.The book is fresh and cuts through the crap into the heart of building your money making process. It gives many examples of how some small family businesses generate huge profits - detailed experience describing what worked and what didn't.This book is a treasure of information and advice. It also written very well - once you start reading - it is difficult to stop.I have already contacted my clients (to whom I have built web sites) in order to change our approach to marketing. Yesterday I spoke to my accountant and explained to him how I will be changing my approach to business - and he absolutely approved (basing on his vast experience with other clients).Knowing what I just told you - can you afford NOT to buy this book?

Be very careful how you follow up with some of the information presented in this book. Don't assume that just because a marketing guru is mentioned in this book, that it is completely safe to do business with him or her. Use Google and read in-depth comments about each one before you decide to proceed to their web site.For example, when I Googled the marketing gurus quoted in this book, for six of them (as well as the author) when I entered their first and last names, the third word that Google autotyped following the name was "scam." Reading comments for one individual in particular revealed many complaints that he was verbally abusive to prospects when they declined to buy. Not good.In addition, other reviewers who signed up for the author's newsletter have found themselves inundated with spam. I did not personally sign up for the author's newsletter, but signed up for one distributed by another of the gurus cited in the book. I am now receiving over 140 spam e-mails a day and may be forced to abandon an e-mail address that I've used for 15 years.I'm also receiving exactly the same kind of spam e-mails that other reviewers have reported receiving after signing up for the author's mailings. Rest assured that these people are swapping their mailing lists. On page 161 of the book, Bob Gatchel (who wrote that section) says, "I discovered yet another way to make money with my database--I found other people on the Internet with whom to joint-venture and swap leads. If I had 1,000 leads who showed interest in my products in the past and my new partner had a comparable product, we agreed to an even exchange of leads and marketed our respective affiliate programs to those new people. I also sold my older leads lists to other marketers."So, be aware that when you sign up for one of these guru's mailings or products, your contact information may be shared with many others without your permission.Some of the people cited in this book might be reputable. The problem is, you may not know which ones aren't until it's too late. Do your homework and proceed with caution...

The Internet moves so fast that I make a point of not reading anything published more than 12 months ago.After having read this book, I now realize that I should not read any 'Second Edition' that has not been 'Fully Revised and Rewritten'.The first edition of this book was published in 2001. After reading it, it appears that there have been very few changes to the book over the last half decade. The only reference I could find to anything having happened over this time was the mention of the fact that one of the contributors died last year.Much of the content of this book is a collection of stories along the lines of "Joe Schmo was living in a cardboard box and eating catfood when, in 1998, he discovered this new-fangled thing called the Internet and was soon making hundreds of thousands of dollars a year from it".Had Joe Schmo tried to do the same things in 2006, he would still be living in the box and eating catfood because it's a lot harder to find an empty niche now than it was back in those days.Most of the 'marketing secrets' revealed in the book involve the heavy use of marketing by email. Whereas this was a great tactic to use back in 2001, I fear that it is a great deal less effective now that spam has increased 50-fold since it was first written.The overall result is that there is very little information here that can be successfully applied to an Internet start-up in 2006.If you were unaware of the fact that there is a site called eBay and that it is possible to make money by selling stuff on it, perhaps this book could be of interest, as this is one of the more revolutionary 'new' ways of making money described in the book, then maybe it is worth checking out. For those people who haven't been living in a cave for the past decade, however, there are much more useful purchases in this field to be had.

Great condition, and didn't take long

Said the spider to the fly, welcome to the web

タイトルは恰好いいけど、タイトルだけ見て本を買うのはリスクが大きいなと感じさせられた本です。やっぱり、本を手に取ってパラパラと見た後で買った方が、失敗しないと思いました。
