3.0 out of 5 stars Just Okay...No Step-By-Step "Secrets" for Success Online!, November 25, 2008

This review is from: eMillions: Behind-the-Scenes Stories of 14 Successful Internet Millionaires (Paperback)

I have to admit that I didn't expect much when I bought this book. I expected a bunch of interviews with successful internet entrepreneurs.

I didn't expect each interview to be so vague. None of the interviewees divulged how they became successful or any marketing plans they used to make money online.

There are too many internet "rah-rah you can do it" books out there so this is just another one that will collect dust on my bookshelf. It's pointless for people to keep writing these books unless they plan on including the entrepreneurs marketing strategies for their online businesses.

If you need some inspiration then get this book. If you are expecting some kind of marketing secrets to be revealed then you will be very disappointed.

1.0 out of 5 stars Another Interview book, February 3, 2009

By 

Harjit Irani (New Zealand) - See all my reviews

This review is from: eMillions: Behind-the-Scenes Stories of 14 Successful Internet Millionaires (Paperback)

What is another source of making money? Interview the Gurus, create a book and sell. If Mike Litman and Jason Oman did it they knew what they are doing. They delivered a treasure of information that can be applied to life. But the problem with today's self made authors is that they don't know how to drill people and what questions to ask. OK I come to the point now. This book gives not much information that can be applied to today's internet science. When the author asks questions like how did you do it, and they all answer how they started years back pre Yahoo era. Those techniques don't apply today. There is not enough information how a newbie can start on the internet and make a decent income. I give one star for the effort and all the money going to waste in printing this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars eMillions Offers Inspiration - and Golden Nuggets For Entrepreneurs, December 7, 2008

This review is from: eMillions: Behind-the-Scenes Stories of 14 Successful Internet Millionaires (Paperback)

As the administrator of the Writer's Business Academy - an online training center for writers who are tired of struggling to make a living from their writing - I get asked to read and review a lot of books. Some are good, some are not so good, and every now and then, some are destined to become great. I think eMillions is one of those.

BUT...
If you're looking for a step-by-step guide to becoming an Internet Millionaire, this is NOT the book for you.

If, on the other hand, you're feeling a little frustrated, you're tired of all the hype, the half-truths and the out and out lies about what it takes to make a living from the Internet - and you're looking for a little inspiration, a little hope and a few nuggets you can take to the bank - then you need to buy this book.

Stanley - who by the way is a 16 year old kid - wanted to know the truth about success for himself. And he didn't let anything - or anyone - stop him from achieving his goals. (Now how's that for inspiration?)

Before I tell you what gold I found in eMillions, let me tell you what you WON'T find:

You won't find a bunch of blah-blah, here's how to start making millions of dollars overnight - in your bathrobe, while someone else does all the work for you and you just push that wheelbarrow full of cash to the bank...

And you won't find a bunch of the typical interviews - the I'm so great, and you're not - but you can be if you buy my stuff...

And you won't find a bunch of pie-in-the-sky, mystical "woo-woo" stuff either.

Instead, you'll find 14 candid, one-on-one conversations from real people - who started out with nothing - and who used the Internet to build real businesses - and in the process - became real millionaires.

If you pay attention - you'll also find real gold nuggets of information, insight and ideas - that you can turn, tweak and try in your own business right away. Because one of the biggest nuggets I found in eMillions is that it's the little ideas that take hold and become the basis for your "overnight success." Each person who was interviewed shared some of the things they tried that worked - and the things that didn't. If you pay attention - what you take away from this book could help you become the next internet millionaire.
