Quit Your Job (and Never Go Back) - How to Create, Start, & Market an Online Business for Under $500 in 30 Days or Less (WorkYourselfUp.com Presents) (ISBN 097543618X) Book Reviews 1-8 Sorted By Most Recent, at VeryWellSaid.com

Very Disappointed

This book offered absolutely nothing. I bought it on the opinion of the 3 five star ratings. I could not find anything that represented what they said. The book was more of a "Rah Rah - You can do it" than it was in offering anything you could actually use. I was hoping for a step-by-step process of what to do. The book referenced other sites that anyone could Google on their own. It was full of questions to the reader. I wasn't looking for questions - I wanted answers. This book is a joke. Don't fall for what others have reviewed. They missed the boat too.

READ THIS BEFORE BUYING THIS BOOK!!

This is a workbook. If you want a real plan to make money online, go through the steps in this workbook and you'll end up with a real business, which will pay you every month!

This is not some kind of fantasy guide, where some "guru" tells you about a pipe dream that will most likely never happen for you. Nowhere does this book say you'll make a million dollars in your underwear or anything like that. This book is about the creating income which comes in a little at a time, adding up to more and more money for you, the more you follow the process.

Yes, the system works. I know because I've done it. My friends have done it. My own father has done it. It's that easy.

What's the trick? You simply have to follow the process. You can't try to shortcut or outsmart it.

This book is not for everybody. If you're looking for some kind of fantasy, where you drive around in a luxury car or hang out on a sailboat all day, this isn't it. This isn't the book for you, if you want to become a "guru" in this business. Sure, it can help you get started on all of this stuff, but it's not the end game.

So who is it for?

I recommend this book for anybody who is looking to get started at online marketing, or simply wants to make a few extra bucks online. It will take you a little time (maybe 5-6 weeks) to see results, but once you do, you'll want to do the process over and over again.

Not what it claims to be

This book says "How to Create, Start, & Market an Online Business for Under $500 in 30 Days or Less" You would expect for the book to provide steps to accomplish this but NO, it offers more questions than answers.

If it were called "Brainstorming about how to start a future Internet business" I would consider it fair. But that is not what it says.

David Hopper probably went on the internet garbed a few generalities about how to brainstorm and misleadingly put them in this book. He does not give you one hint as to how he will start a business for $500 or in 30 days. This book was the biggest fraud I've seen in Amazon.

A total rip off. Don't waste your time and money.

workbook

This is defnitely a workbook. There is very limited content. The content is good, there just isn't very much of it. I would have given it a higher rating if it actually said workbook on the cover so that buyers know what they are getting.

This book helped me make my first $1000 online

When I received this book, I promised myself I would use it first then come to Amazon to write an honest review. It's been six weeks since it arrived.

With the help of this book, I chose a niche (rose gardening) to market in, created a blog, promoted that blog like crazy and, as of yesterday, have made just over $1000 in affiliate commission from the ebooks, products and infoproducts I write about on my blog. I am so thrilled! Next month, I know I will make more.

I wouldn't have gotten this far if it wasn't for this book.

Like so many people, I got lured into Internet marketing by reading all the stories about how easy it is to make money online and how some Internet marketers are making a million dollars in one day. I wanted to get in on that. But where do you start? When I began doing research on how to make money online, I got so overwhelmed. I took a lot of courses, listened in on many teleconferences and bought a lot of how-to infoproucts. My head was spinning from the many directions I could choose from and all the things I had to learn.

"Quit Your Job" simplified things for me. I'll be honest, I was hoping this book would be a "how to make money" recipe book that I could follow easily and money would be waiting for me once I completed all the steps. This book does give instructions that work (things like how to do article marketing, building a mailing list, getting traffic to your site). But most importantly, the second part of each chapter has questions that the reader is encouraged to answer on their own. Those questions helped me to stop and think about what kind of online business I want to create and what I was willing to do to build it.

It was the chapter on how to find a profitable niche that changed everything for me. Once I finally understood how to pick a good one, it was such a relief. And then the fun (and the work) really began.

This book gave me the chance to stop spending hours online endlessly researching and got me focused enough to take ACTION.

I became familiar with David Hooper through his books on the Law of Attraction. I am so glad he came out with this one because even after my very first affiliate sale (which was only $11.11!) I knew making money online was going to make my life better.

Great for Beginners as well as More Experienced Entrepreneurs

I found this book to be very helpful. As the previous reviewer mentioned, it is a workbook, so if you're looking for somebody to tell you exactly what to do, it may not be for you. But if you're looking for something that will help you to develop a PERSONAL BUSINESS PLAN that meets your needs and is both easy and fun to follow, I think you'll enjoy it.

So many of these "online marketing" books are total BS, designed as lead generation tools for the authors to get your name and address and sell you something additional. Many are mashed together compilations of various authors, with each taking a chapter. Others are 200-page sales letters. And even worse, some are just transcripts of recorded conference calls (also sales letters).

This one has actual info which you'll find helpful. It has quick and easy ways you can get a business started which will actually make you money, not a pipe dream that will only cost you money. It's not a fairy tale, so if you're not willing to do a little work, look elsewhere. But if you're looking for a customized plan that will help you to make money quickly, this is it.

About me: I have been making money online for a few years now. I am not an expert, but not exactly new either. My friends wonder how I am doing it and this is a book that I recommend to them. Making money online really is simple, if you know how to do it. :) This book will show you how.

More like a workbook than a "how--to"
