If you have principles, do not buy this book. The author says straight up in one section that he bought a business on ebay for $1,100 and found that he was ripped off - the business was just a website template. Funny thing is, he just turned around and sold it at the same price on ebay, ruining someone else's finances as well.

He says in the book that when writing web content, you should not do any editing - just slap some content on the page and send it out. This is exactly what he did with this book, it's obvious. It has not been edited. He self-published it in the same unscrupulous way that he ran every "business" that he has had.

There is zero relevant or useful info in this book. He just talks about 4 or 5 businesses which he ran, having desperate writers work for him, and calls it "the definitive guide to making money online".. yeah, if you're a crook like him.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource, one star shy of "definitive", March 2, 2009

Mr. Covington's excellent and informative book was filled with ideas and resources for writers. The book contains less than 75 pages, distributed in 9 chapters, and touches on a variety of writing opportunities such as blogs, sales letter writing, and press releases. In each chapter, he clearly defines each type of writing opportunity, and provides advantages and disadvantages of each type of writing, along with some advice on future opportunities and his opinions on market domination for each type of writing. The book is an invaluable source of relevant websites. Within a day of completing the book, I had found no less than a half-dozen potential writing gigs as a direct result of his recommendations. My sole criticism of the book is the lack of info on marketing. As he opted to title the book "The DEFINITIVE Guide to Making Money Online with Your Writing" I feel a chapter on marketing would certainly be appropriate. NOTE: I sent an email to the author describing my criticism and received a response on the SAME DAY, advising me he was close to completing an entire book on internet marketing. Based on the book I just read from this author, as well as his quick response, I am certain to purchase it. Overall, a very strong recommendation for Mr. Covington's highly informative and inspirational book.

This book is a good resource for anyone who is trying to get into freelance writing. The author includes several areas of need and a way to get your foot in the door. He takes each topic, such as blogging, and explains what is needed, how much growth can be expected, how to make contact with potential clients, and most importantly how much the pay is. The book is laid out in an easy to read format which makes it great for beginners to use.

This book is not going to make you rich. The author even says that most of the people that do freelance writing in this manner are looking for a little extra income. If you like to write and are looking into new avenues of earning a little extra cash, then this is a good book for you.
