1.0 out of 5 stars THIS BOOK SUCKS, September 22, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: 101 Great Mail-Order Businesses: The Very Best (and Most Profitable!) Mail-Order Businesses You Can Start with Little or No Money (Paperback)

DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK!! TYLER HICKS IS NOT HERE TO HELP YOU AS HE CLAIMS IN THE BOOK. HES IS HOWEVER LOOKING TO GET PEOPLE TO SUBSCRIBE TO HIS NEWSLETTERS AND BUY HIS OTHER BOOKS AND KITS HE SELLS. THE INFORMATION IN HIS BOOK IS VERY VERY GENERAL. MOST OF THE INFORMATION IN THE BOOK IS STUFF PEOPLE ALLREADY KNOW. HIS POTENTIAL EARNINGS EST. WERE ALL INFLATED.

This review is from: 101 Great Mail-Order Businesses, Revised 2nd Edition: The Very Best (and Most Profitable!) Mail-Order Businesses You Can Start with Little or No Money (Paperback)

Please believe that this guy is only trying to sell his information. He is so busy selling that he dosen't allow this book to help people. He should of just placed alot of classified ads for all the offers that are in this book. You will be able to find very little info that will be helpful to you. So I would advise that you just skim through this book at your local libary or book store and pick out what you need to know and thats it.

I was very unhappy to find that this was just one giant advertisement for Mr. Hicks own material. All Mr. Hicks wants you to do is subscribe to his newsletter, buy his items. I didn't find one thing to help. Like buying a written infomercial.
