I had almost forgotten that I owned this book. It didn’t stick with me, as there is little hard content.
There is the usual blather of the feel-good variety that is so prevalent these days. Then there is a lot of compliments for his friends.
I will compliment the book on one thing, though- it does not appear that Vitale engaged in the now-common method of offering thousands of dollars worth of freebies to get everyone to buy it on a particular day. Many internet marketers try this to get to number 1 for one day, then pump up the reviews.

Good information but could use a bit more detail. However, it has valuable online resources for the beginner in internet sales and marketing. Recommended.
A Bad Mix of Self-Help, Success Stories and Internet Marketing
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
It’s rare that I purchase books anymore from a book store, because I like to get online and read reviews first. I made an exception when I purchased this book and I’m left ultimately unaffected by its content. I’m fairly new to the internet marketing game – and thumbing through the book at first – it seemed this book would be enjoyable. To its credit, it gives you the basic underpinnings of avenues to make money online. There are some valuable resources for beginners and the overall value of the book equals an educational experience, all while simultaneously acting as a pick-me-up.
With that said, I may be fairly new to this game, but I learned nothing from this book. I also could have personally done without the pick-me-up part. They begin the book by tugging at your heart strings; making it sound as if their rags-to-riches story will always best yours – or at least be equal to yours, since they reach to about as low as it gets. Joe was supposedly homeless and Jillian roughed it out as a single mom living off of food stamps. To that end, the introduction of the book kind of reminded me of those old Don Lapre infomercials insofar as it really targets people who feel they’re at their lowest point. Ironically, this book about internet marketing leverages its own marketing targeted mostly towards a demographic not inclusive of those like myself (living paycheck-to-paycheck but doing so comfortably). I don’t need self-help and I don’t need a plethora of success stories to motivate me. Unfortunately, that’s all that the majority of this book relies on.
It’s not bad as a primer for methods to make money online and to gather inspiration via success stories and self-help philosophies, but if you’re a serious professional with a goal in mind and a motivation to get out there and do it, this isn’t the book for you. If you don’t need to constantly read, “you can do this! Just keep telling yourself, “I can do it. I can do it. I can do it.”", then this book is not for you. The impression you intially get with this book is that they’re going to show you the door and you’re then going to have to be the one to walk through it. Not quite. In this case, it’s more like they’ll show you the waiting room where every other would-be internet marketer typically stays, but if you do happen to make it out of such a place, there’s still a long corridor awaiting you before you ever reach that door. Unfortunately, beginners won’t realize that until they actually attempt to step beyond the pages of the book and put into practice what they feel is a neatly-packaged process.
There is nothing in this book that can’t be found for free elsewhere. If you’re serious about starting an online business, sign up on the Warrior Forum. It’s free, it’s been around since the 90’s, and you interact with real people, so there’s no bogus, “hmm, I wonder if this is legit” stuff happening. I won’t add a link here since I don’t want to give the impression that I’m doing anything other than offering a helpful resource, so Google it if you’re interested and get started soaking up knowledge there. For free.

I read this book about 3 months ago – and I already can’t remember what most of the content was about.
Being in the internet industry myself there wasn’t much new in the book – but I did enjoy the insights the book gave me on hypnotic writing. Maybe a book by Joe Vitale may have been better for me.
This book is good for people who don’t know much about the internet and want to make there mark.
Educational and Interesting

I enjoyed reading this book very much. I learned a lot about the internet, websites, and opportunities to make additional sources of income. Highly recommended if you want to learn.
