More false promises from a scumbag, December 30, 2001
This review is from: How to Make Money on the Internet (Spiral-bound)
For Don Lapre making money means riding the back of hard working people. This book is one big ad for you to call his office and sign up for a...web site...Don't buy this book or anything else he sells. If you do remember these words, "I told you so". Instead of this book, you could probably get more useful information about the internet from a book THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE INTERNET. Point clear?

For novice only, May 15, 2001
This review is from: How to Make Money on the Internet (Spiral-bound)
I bought this book to have a consolidated view of business on the internet. What I got was a version that talked about what an internet is and advised me to buy a 486 computer ( I cant even find one in Silicon Valley). I think this book is for people who dont know anything about computers or the internet. What I did with my book? returned it !

Hard to Believe This is Still in Print, February 17, 2005
This review is from: How to Make Money on the Internet (Spiral-bound)
Don Lapre's books are all about making money with very little effort on the reader's part. They all scream, "You, too, can make money fast! And it's incredibly easy!"
Don't believe it. The eternal truth is (and you all know this), If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
A helpful tip for those of you considering buying this would be to first do a search for on Lapre on the internet. You'll find him featured on several scam warning sites.
But back to this book, it is indeed WAY out of date. Yes, you will see that you should find a 486 computer for best results, something that was true about eight years ago. But the gist is to set up a site full of advertisements to refer people to other sites. By joining affiliate programs, Lapre claims you can make thousands a week. Now that's technically possible, but you'd stand a better chance of getting struck by lightning, winning the lottery, and being attacked by a great white shark, all at the same time.
If you want to follow Don Lapre's lead, publish books with enticing titles that promise untold riches, deliver basic information people can find anywhere (for free), and charge $30 for it. Sadly, Don's here to help himself, not you.
