Review: Make Money Online

“Make Money Online” by John Chow with Michael Kwan was an interesting book.  I’ve been doing the online marketing thing for a little while now, so the book had a lot of things I already knew.  That being said, there is still a ton of value in the book, especially for new users.

The price of the book, a cool $10.85 on Amazon as of this post is great.  For that price, why the hell not buy it?  I learned a few tidbits that I didn’t already know, and I consider myself an expert, so I’m sure that if you’re just getting started you’ll learn something too.

Basically the book outlines the tools you need to make a blog, fill it with content, and then promote it.  You’ll find lists of useful links and tools in the appendices of the book as well.  There is a nice balance of physical real world tools, detailed steps, and concepts for success.

You aren’t going to get advanced PPC techniques with this book and you’re not going to get the big scoop on the affiliate game.   The book should really be called Make Money Online Blogging, because the book doesn’t really even touch the tip of the iceberg in terms of making money online.  It does do an excellent job of explaining how to make money from blogging though.

Overall, great book for the price.
