1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the money!!!, August 24, 2007

This review is from: The Absolute Beginner's Guide to Internet Wealth: Everything You Need to Know to Create Your Portable Empire (Paperback)

This book is a lot of white space, double-line-spaced written text, and 1-page chapters. This is essentially a pump and dump book that pumps the websites of all his associates so that you can dump your money into their coffers. There are much better options out there. Pass this one up and spend your money wisely elsewhere.

This review is from: The Absolute Beginner's Guide to Internet Wealth: Everything You Need to Know to Create Your Portable Empire (Paperback)

Do you remember the days in high school when you would try and leave as much white space as possible (filler) on an assignment paper to make it look like you wrote more than you did. This is an example of that. I actually think there is more 'white space' in the book then text. Have to wonder about the publisher as well as the author when you get this kind of publication released. Doesn't say a lot for either. Save your money and 'google it' - you will probably get more information in 20 minutes (maybe 10) than you will by reading this whole book.

Someone else used the term "pump-and-dump" to describe this thing and I agree. Don't get me wrong, I like Pat O'Bryan's writing and I visit his blog. One look at his picture and it is easy to believe this guy's "I was a broke-down guitar player and look at me now" story.

I think he dictated this "book" into his recorder while he was driving to Joe Vitale's house one day. Lots of the "chapters" are about half a page.

AND, most importantly, everything he suggests for creating "internet wealth" has BEEN DONE!

In spades.....

One example: Public domain? Hundreds of sites are GIVING the stuff away, much less selling it.

This book and its ilk remind me of the stories about the Klondike Gold Rush, where the true riches were achieved by the people selling all the gear - tents, axes, shovels, ropes, etc. - to the intrepid miners on their way to "riches." Most of whom either died or came back penniless, maimed, or worse. At least on the internet, no one is dying. (I don't think....) But for the rest of us, we will have to keep our day jobs for now at least.
