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.
