Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Unfortunately, with personal bankruptcies and consumer debt rising at exponential rates, a number of individuals will be forced to moonlight or assume additional part-time jobs. Still others might prefer a little extra cash to stash away for future dreams. Whatever the reason, part-time weekend work is becoming commonplace. Ramsey offers a choice of 101 possible businesses to operate. Brief skills surveys begin the book; the rest is devoted to a description of different opportunities, each including answers to five questions: What will I be doing? Who will my customers be? How much should I charge? How much will I make? How can I get started? His most valuable contribution is a creative list of extra-income jobs other than baby-sitting and dog-walking. Barbara Jacobs

Review

Start a home-based cottage industry on the weekend with a minimum of cash and time expenditure and work your way slowly into a profitable position with the aid of this approach. Ramsey chooses and describes over one hundred tested weekend business, using his first-person interviews and case histories as a foundation. -- Midwest Book Review

2.0 out of 5 stars Keep Looking..., February 5, 1998
This review is from: 101 Best Weekend Businesses (Paperback)
Although the title seems promising for those interested in part-time opportunites, this book was merely a subset of Ramsey's 101 Best Home-Based Businesses The business examples in this book were basically copied straight from his other book with nothing new added. I suppose it's OK as an idea generator, but the coverage of each is so sparce it leaves you wanting more. Keep looking guys...

2.0 out of 5 stars Lightweight, June 12, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: 101 Best Weekend Businesses (Paperback)
Not particularly helpful either for considering what kind of business you might set up or the pro and con of running such a business. Very much a "how to" writer writing how to start a business. If you're looking for readable, non-textbook sources of information, I might recommend "In Business For Yourself" by Bruce Williams instead.
