Good on saving resources, not so much on earning, July 16, 2006
This review is from: The Mom's Guide to Earning and Saving Thousands on the Internet (Mom's Guide to Earning & Saving Thousands on the Internet) (Paperback)
I have been making money online since 1998 and am always checking out resources to help me make more. The Mom's Guide to Earning and Saving Thousands on the Internet offers some terrific savings ideas and resources in one place. It's especially helpful for busy moms who don't have time to research and investigate resources themselves.
I was very intersted in the earning aspect especially since it covered surveys and mystery shopping. I still don't feel this is a great way to earn income from home. I have tested many survey sites and have yet to get paid by the legitimate ones. Turns out I don't qualify for most surveys I'm sent. (I'm a 40 year old mom of two, married who owns a home...). I've gotten a free lunch with mystery shopping, but that won't pay the mortgage.
If you are looking for great resources and ideas to save money using the Internet, this is a good resource. But if you want to make money, this isn't your book.

The perfect guide, February 6, 2006
This review is from: The Mom's Guide to Earning and Saving Thousands on the Internet (Mom's Guide to Earning & Saving Thousands on the Internet) (Paperback)
...Webb and Heck have done all the dirty work for the reader. They've combed the web, and found out how to navigate online shopping and dealmaking with the least amount of headache and fuss.
This book explains the mystery in mystery shopping, and outlines other moneymaking tools on the internet, including an easy to get started guide to auctions. It points out where and how to get the best deals on whatever it is you're looking to purchase.
Webb and Heck also take the time to carefully explain the most common scams and pitfalls, which makes the book invaluable.
All in all, a fabulous guide!
