Don't Let the Hyped-Up Title Scare You, July 11, 2009
I generally avoid resources with titles like this because usually they're full of self-adulation and pitches for coaching and other products. But Ewen really delivers the goods on how he built a successful online business in affiliate marketing and outlines how others can do it too. Its straight forward and step-by-step in identifying a market, getting online, getting web traffic, and setting up systems.
If you're already making a good income with affiliate marketing, you may not learn anything new from this book. But for the newcomer to making money online, its a very good guide.

Not for Everybody., February 28, 2009
Ewen Chia is a smart guy. The question is: Is this book for you?
This book is what you'd expect. It's very similar to other books released in this genre. Info is ok, but you walk away feeling it's more of a tool for the author to find new customers than anything else.
The book talks about "mindset," which is important. Ewen's story is interesting. To me, this was the best part of the book and worth the price. If you're looking for a complete, step-by-step blueprint to millions online though, you won't find it here.
The book is divided into roughly six sections:
- Ewen's story
- basics of online marketing
- tools you'll need
- picking your market
- getting traffic
- your offer
In my opinion, the content is too advanced for newbies, yet too basic for those who have been at this for a while. Both will probably get something out of it, but newbies looking for a plan and others looking to get a sneak peak at how Ewen really makes his money will both walk away unsatisfied. There are a lot of missing pieces, even though the book is over 350 pages.
There is some good stuff here, if you can read between the lines. The book is worth the price.
If you're brand new, and can only afford one book, you're much better off with something like
Quit Your Job (and Never Go Back) - How to Create, Start, & Market an Online Business for Under $500 in 30 Days or Less, which is specifically for people who are just getting started and want to get online quickly. It doesn't promise as much, but you can't deposit promises in the bank. Real money is what you're after here, not promises.

I Greatly Admire Ewen Chia!, August 12, 2009
Ewen Chia offers realness and real help! This book mentions links to tons of traffic sources and business resources, plus step by step instructions on what to do and why to do it. I've only had the book for less than a week and I've already applied several of his techniques for gaining more traffic, setting up better sites, autoresponder forms with the wording he advises, and thank-you pages and what to put on them. I'm seeing more traffic in just the last few days AND a sale that I definitely would not have had without his book! Plus several more subscribers to my autoresponders!
