I received an special offer for this book via Clickbank. Book was "free" as long as I'd pay postage. A very good deal, I though.

This is a good book. Not great, but worth checking out. I give credit to the author for covering so many aspects of online business in one book. The problem is, there isn't enough space for everything he wants to cover-- at least in detail. It's kind of like being at a buffet, with a lot of choices, but only being able to take a tiny bite. You get an idea of what is available, but don't walk away totally satisfied.

Luckily, I have been studying online marketing for a while. When I read this stuff, I got what he was saying. If this is your first book about online maketing though, or you're looking to "get rich quick", you may end up frustrated as some of the aspects here will likely be too complicated for you to understand since you'll have to "fill in the blanks" yourself. For a beginner, I think something like Laptop Lifestyle - How to Quit Your Job and Make a Good Living on the Internet (Volume 1 - Quick Start Guide to Making Money Online) is a better option, since it moves a little slower and gives step-by-step lists of what you can do to either sell your own products online or make money using affiliate programs.

The best part about this book is that it gives detailed case studies of successful businesses and how they are making money online. There are a lot of ways to make money online and this will get you thinking about how you can find something that works for you.

This is great! I had been unemployed for almost a year and a friend suggested I read this book. I haven't really done much more than the average emailing and shopping on the internet and this book made me realize there is a lot more I can be doing with the internet. I decided to give it a shot and now I am making a living off of the internet and it didn't take set up costs like a regular business. Another book that really helped me is Affiliate Programs Master List Volume One. This has changed my way of thinking about work in general. I no longer need to go to an office to make a living and I am loving it.

The ultimate goal of the book is to make the author richer.

The content is not solid as described by other 5-star reviewers. If you have done internet marketing for more than 1 year, you can probably write a better book with more solid content. The contents are not updated. e.g. QuikDrop is a mentioned as an eBay drop shipper. If you check and you can find QuikDrop has ceased doing eBay drop shipping more than two years before the book is published. What I can say is that the book is a stuffing of old information.

Don't put much faith to get rich by many clicks mentioned in this book. One thing for sure is that the author is getting richer if you buy this book.

Good luck.

This book appears to be nothing but an infomercial for his website. Whenever he starts to tell a good story or give good tips. before finishing he gives a link to his website. And what good are weblinks on a Kindle? I can't imagine what the print edition is like. Do you press a link on a page with your finger and a magical screen appears before you? He's also obsessed with this UPC like codes called QRs which appear throughout the book. I have no access to these codes and thought they took up space and were worthless and interrupted the story.

But more importantly, nearly everything in this book is either pure common sense or easily available elsewhere on the net for free. I really question if some of these reviews aren't submitted by his PR team. Really, a nine page review?

I just don't trust his numbers. He says in one paragraph that the founder of Zappo's is worth $700M after the sale to Amazon. A few pages later he says that it sold for $1B, then later he says Jeff Bezos paid over a billion. Which one is it?

He also goes on to say that he purchased a blinds company in Houston. He said their website outsold both of their retail locations. The Kindle version says the website is [...]. I assume that is a typo for nobrainsBlinds.com. Nonetheless, he said the website business was more successful because it had no overhead. So, I guess the place just ran itself with Japanese Robots and Disney cartoon characters. No phone lines, no internet, no shipping, no labor, no benefits?

I swear this guy will be on late night TV ads in no time.

This is just a story of a man who got lucky buying a domain name and selling it for a fortune. Now, he just plays with his money. But, I think for him to suggest that the average person could recreate what he or many of the others mentioned in the book have done, is just ludicrous.

I regretfully hoped for more.

After seeing the index in this book when I first opened it, I had mixed feelings. Because I read/know about almost all these possibilities from my earlier purchases and marketing classes. Do I want to really make money on internet? No. After finding that my heart is on this kind of business I graciously quit any efforts towards such ventures and put them in what really makes sense to me.

Surely this book gives a lot of information for a newbie to internet. But, if you have been trying for a couple of years, you hardly find any hurray moments in this book. You literally know all these blogs, search engines, social networks, ebay...e.t.c Let me tell you this. If you already know most of these things and you are not making money online, then you are not going to make anymore with this book. No book, no course or marketing strategy is going to help you.

The only people who can make use of this book is - people who already have very good products/services/ideas and who are looking for ways to make them a reality. Only they can make use of it. If you are desperate for money and you think you can make money online from thin air with such make-money-online stuff, you will be disappointed. Go find a job. This doesn't work that way. If you have worthy ideas, ready to work hard then this is for you.

Get Rich Click by Marc Ostrofsky blows away any idea that all the opportunities on the internet have already been mined. Marc brilliantly shows that the internet is full of mines ready to be discovered and claimed.

Get Rich Click outlines endless possibilities to build income and net worth with the combination of the internet, mobile and social media. Instead of being overwhelmed, Get Rich Click takes you by the hand, explaining chapter by chapter how each piece of the internet puzzle fits together.

Whether you are a beginner or advanced player looking to start up or go to the next level, Get Rich Click is like a treasure map telling you where the gold is.

What makes the book so enlightening is that you get to see how Marc, a real world success, sees and thinks about, and strategizes and implements opportunities.

In Marc's internet world, the only limitation is you and your imagination!

Marc reviews numerous business models from the smallest - such as those who have succeeded on Click Bank - to the biggest, like Google, Groupon, Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn. He also points out with entertaining stories how some everyday people have made it big.

Throughout Get Rich Click, you get to know Marc as a passionate entrepreneur who wants you to make it big too. You meet Marc, the proud father of five daughters, and Marc, the son, who recently lost his mother Shirley to whom he dedicates the book.

As someone who has read thousands of business plans, financed numerous companies, and operates various internet businesses, I rarely write book reviews because few books merit much praise.

It is clear Marc set out to tackle the internet world and demonstrate its possibilities with the same determination and commitment to excellence that he brings to his own businesses.

Here's how Get Rich Click creates your treasure map for success on the internet.

You quickly realize the world of the internet lives and dies by the click.

Chapter 1: There is a Get Rich Click mindset. As most successful entrepreneurs come to learn, you have to understand leverage. You have to focus on your strengths and outsource your weaknesses; you can't do it all.

Get Rich Click shows you how the internet allows you to eliminate the middleman - called disintermediation. You learn that for many businesses, there is a straighter line to your customer, relationships and repeat sales.

Understanding disintermediation and the internet is at the heart of making money and cutting costs.

Although Get Rich Click points out that most retail sales and most advertising still occurs offline, the internet, along with mobile, social media and multi-media marketing using text, audio, video and photos, is a massive growing connector of all aspects of our lives.

At the end of the Chapter 1, Tony Hsieh of Zappos tells Marc personally 10 lessons in building a successful business on the internet, including "Customer service is an investment and not an expense", and "Be wary of so-called experts."

Chapter 2: I loved the idea of sell first, then buy or create your product or service. You learn how Marc started his career by selling things first, then buying them. This strategy alone paid for the book a thousand times over - no kidding.

And you learn "7 Different E-commerce Models to choose from".

In Get Rich Click You get case studies such as how Zachary and Nathan Doctor started BikeTires.com when Zachary was ten years old and Nathan was twelve - the company now does $8 million in sales.

Without spoiling this tour de force of the internet world, you learn of how Marc sold one domain for $7.5 million.

You learn in the remaining chapters about:

1. eBay marketing
2. Blinds.com
3. Search engine optimization
4. Search engine marketing
5. Advertising and local search
6. Paid versus organic search strategies and tactics
7. 10 Great Reasons to Own a Generic Domain Name
8. Why vertical search is so important
9. 7 Steps to Making Money with Google AdSense
10. How to determine the value of keywords
11. The strategy of internet advertising

And so much more...

I loved the part of the book that covered Pay Per Action or Pay Per Performance - 30 ways to get paid, such as pay per call, pay per applicant and pay per listen.

You also learn 100+ ways to optimize your website for search and improve your traffic.

Get Rich Click Tip: rather than optimizing a page for multiple keywords, focus on optimizing for one keyword per page.

You learn linking strategies such as people love to link to tip lists, and these lists can become documents of authority in your industry.

You learn ten great ways to attract traffic, including inviting visitors to return and signing up at traffic exchanges. You are shown ten steps to making money with affiliate programmers - the "fastest growing area of E-commerce".

I never knew how much money you could make on Click Bank until Marc explained it.

From content, to social networking - Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube strategies, tactics and apps - you are shown how you can devise numerous money making and community building approaches.

Marc clearly explains the new frontiers of mobile marketing, mobile visual search and video marketing and how to take advantage of them.

By the end of the book, Get Rich Click, you realize that you have been given the keys to internet marketing, innovation and numerous resources, case studies, strategies and tactics.

So, what would I say were the shortcomings of Get Rich Click!: The Ultimate Guide to Making Money on the Internet

I felt that there should have been more delineation between beginners versus advanced strategies and tactics, and the Get Rich Click brand surely is prevalent - sometimes too much.

To be fair, the shortcomings pale compared to the value. Each chapter could be a course by itself. Get Rich Click exudes an overriding passion to educate and to show what to do to make it big on the internet.

In its zeal to give you all - which it does - you must choose to implement one or two chapters at a time. There's enough to get rich click beyond your wildest dreams!

I regret having bought this book. I did not like anything this infomercial style. I agree that his main goal seems to drive traffic to his site. The link to his site appears again and again. I hate this. Why redirect links through qr codes? You can write a simple link. They get paid to link through qr code? In one chapter suggest to gain money writing reviews. Does not surprise me some of the 5 star reviews

This book is an incongruous mix of too much information and too little. It's almost a hyper stream of advice, yet so little of it is actionable; plus he is constantly referring back to his own web site. Almost all the many, many resources listed at the end have some sort of product they're selling, so they're not really resources, but rather ways for those particular site owners to be getting rich "click." I gave this book a fair shot and read it carefully at least twice and don't think I learned much. I do like the "One Hour a Day" series much better for actionable info.

After seeing this author on The View, I was excited to order and receive my copy of Get Rich Click. Since I enjoy being online and I need to make some serious money this was a perfect solution. As suggested in the book, I have tried: placing ads, drop shipping, domain names, etc. So far, I have made NOTHING. In fact I have lost money that I could not afford to spare. The book seems to have some good ideas, but unless you are incredibly lucky enough to stumble into something.....I'll let you fill in the rest.
I went to the books website and sent a note through the contact us section to see if I could get additional suggestions or insight into what I may be doing wrong. I will update this review when/if i receive a reply.

The author is just a marketing guy. He doesn't know any technical to show you. The websites reference in the book are dead, broken, casual and poorly design. How can you trust his method when he never use the poorly websites that he mentions in his book? He just picks up info from here and there in the internet to fill his book.
