Book Description

September 1979
Tired of the nine-to-five treadmill? Want to be your own boss and do work that interest and stimulates you? Until now, for millions of Americans, being out of a job meant being out of work. But no longer! Jay Conrad Levinson has helped thousands of individuals leave stagnating careers and get on independent courses toward personal and financial satisfaction. This completely revised edition of Earning Money Without a Job is loaded with practical, money-making ideas that don't require fancy degrees or huge start-up costs (or any start-up costs, in many cases) -- from selling and mail order to catering and high-tech repair services. In addition, Levinson shows you how to size up your strengths and weaknesses, how to market yourself, and how to get the help and financing you'll need to succeed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ignore the other comments. This book could change your life!, March 11, 1999
By A Customer
Mel Ziegler started "The Banana Republic" after reading this book. I started my company soon thereafter.

If you have what it takes to question the prevailing paradigm and are determined to be happy at work, you'll find this book a refreshing, important alternative. If they don't get it in Estonia, shame on them, but I know it was the best $10 I ever spent.

I read the earlier edition years ago. It's a positive, upbeat book about creating multiple "profit centers" (or income streams, if you prefer to think of it that way) and planning for those "spaghetti days" when nothing is coming in. I wasn't as prepared then as now to put those principles in place, so I'm happy to have the revised edition.

What I like best is that he provides a broad enough spectrum of ideas in his books so that none of them are industry-specific. (By contrast, a lot of consulting books focus on only management consulting and many freelance books focus on journalism or advertising when you might be in IT, interior design, or tutoring.)

The Guru of Guerilla Marketing knows his stuff. So far, I never met a Levinson book I didn't like.

5.0 out of 5 stars Motivational, September 22, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
The author lays out many, many ideas in this book. While reading, my mind was constantly asking if that idea was for me or not. This book motivated me to consider other ideas. Jay Conrad Levinson challenges readers to turn these ideas into opportunities by acting on them immediately. He truly is a guerrila marketer.
