Not all that useful, April 28, 2009
This review is from: Adult Website Money: How To Build, Start And Market An Adult Website Business For Little To No Cost In 30 Days (Paperback)
I remember being required to read a How-To-Become-Wealthy self help book in my high school economics class (no, I didn't choose this book, I'm just telling a story). I found myself very disappointed by this school assignment, because the book didn't really tell you how to get rich. Instead it told you to think positively. And the very last chapter hinted at writing your own self help book and selling it for money. I felt ripped off, since I was unknowingly helping someone else achieve the dream that I wanted to achieve. But I definitely learned a little bit about capitalism in the process.
Maybe that experience has made me sort of pessimistic towards books such as this. As far as I can tell, the author does not make money through the adult industry, as he claims. Wouldn't he want to provide some links to a porn empire, or some popular adult films with his name in the credits? Instead, he makes money selling books. A quick google search for his name (both Ray West and Ray's Corner) will provide nothing but a link to buy this book, either from his website, or from Amazon. There are no links to anything else.
I remember reading in another book (I seem to remember two Dad's of different wealth involved) that it doesn't matter how well something it written: it matters how you market it. I feel like this is a good example.
Yes, I did actually buy this book. Back when I was a bright eyed, bushy tailed college student who apparently didn't know how to use Google as well as I do now. Don't get me wrong, though. My review doesn't mean to imply that this book has no content. It does. But the content is about as basic as you can get. This book answers questions that you already knew the answers to.
This book does have the potential to make you rich. In the same way that losing your job has the potential to make you rich: it can provide motivation. If you're the type of person who gets a call-to-action from books like this, then it is actually worth the money. If not, google is a free alternative. Try searching for "adult webmaster."

Misleading, January 21, 2010
This review is from: Adult Website Money: How To Build, Start And Market An Adult Website Business For Little To No Cost In 30 Days (Paperback)
Okay I wouldnt really call this a book going by the dictionary definition .Its very flimsy and contains multiple grammatical errors .That said it does give a newbie an insight to online marketing but for us more advanced users there is nothing new. The misleading part stems from the title as it suggests more than it portrays . There is nothing to tell me that the author knows anything about the adult industry because if he did he would know that it takes a completely different approach and technique to to make inroads in the adult industry .High income levels can be achieved but in the main its by adult entertainment websites that are becoming more mainstream. However this book falls short of explaining to the reader what direction to take

Adult Web Page PHOOEY!, July 23, 2009
This review is from: Adult Website Money: How To Build, Start And Market An Adult Website Business For Little To No Cost In 30 Days (Paperback)
In the first place, this item is NOT a book, it is a very thin sheaf of individual pages stapled together and in NO way does it resemble a book. Secondly, the information contained within this pamphlet has in NO way shown me how to establish the aforementioned Adult Website as advertised. I very eagerly read the pamphlet and found NOTHING to help me in establishing a profitable website.
