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.

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.

I thought this book was good in the first couple of pages, then I started noticing a pattern of the author selling his other products. This is not very informative it loses everything by the time you get into it. Save your money or buy another book.

Buy yourself a dinner at Boston Market , you'll get more out of it. This book is a tool for ol Tyler to sell his stuff to you

This book was not that great. It gave one some good examples of Home.B.B but it did not go into any real detail. He mostly uses it as a platform to sell his newsletter and other books. I mean if this guy is suppose to have all of the answers how come he has the words.. "The complete Guide"... to all of his titles of the same type of book?

This is one of the books that I have read in my hope to achieve a business out of mail order. However, most of Mr. Hicks' book talks about his ideas and what he has done, and gives little insight on what "we" the reader can do... other then buy more of his products. The back of this book even has a order form for his mail order product 'kits' at around (...) each. This one of the first books that I have read that actually makes you think you are reading a sales pitch for a product (his), and while he does have over 101 ideas... they are just listed with little depth. He tells you why they are good ideas/products, but nothing about how to make, find, buy, or market them to consumers. Also most of his ideas can be found for free online. I found very little value of the book and wish I never bought it.

If only the author stuck to what he proposed he would deliver, this would have been a great book... all a reader is expecting to get is practical mail order businesses they can start. The estimated profits to be made from some of the ideas are just too impractical, and yes ridiculous! You can tell he is just guessing his way to the end of this book.

Sorry must agree with the rest of the folks here. He is all into selling his other products. A shame he didn't care enough about those buying this book. Greedy...and I don't think his products are all that original...

In my opinion the book was useful, except for the end of each chapter (and the end of the book) when Mr. Hicks tries to covince people to buy a book, a kit or a subscription to one of his newsletters. Also most of the time Mr. Hicks impresses people (at least that is what he thinks or wants) with all his fortune and his yacht. If I had read another book, would I have stated that it was useful to me?.
