Format:Paperback
The book is about how to earn money online by using Internet marketing such as Google Adsense or Affiliate methods. The writer seems to have forgotten that while it is possible to earn money online, it is definitely not easy money.
Pros: Gives you basic knowledge of Internet Marketing.
Mentions free tools and methods you can use.
Good and inspiring read at times.
If you are completely new to Internet Marketing and contents creating then this book tries to show you some ropes.
Examples of his own web ventures to assure it is possible.
Cons: Only the second half of the book is useful in a practical way.
Repetitive at times.
Doesn't mentions any legal issues which you have to comply to if you create a website or blog for earning purpose. For example Google Adsense requires every website which shows its Adsense Program to have a Privacy Policy. No mention for such issue. Neither is for Terms and Conditions of a website.
It fails to tell you that the reality of living off the net requires a good understanding of SEO, be able to use the website or blog creating tools competently, ample amount of time, and dedication.
On the whole, the book is OK if you are new in IM or hoping to take your first step, but then there is nothing new which is not already on the net for free.

Format:Paperback
I bought this book perhaps foolishly thinking that it would be different from the many emails I have received in the past promising riches from Internet Marketing with a. little money b.little knowledge and c.little or no effort.
The content of this book relies heavily on quotes, past stories of internet start-ups and famous people e.g. David Beckham. I had to read through over 100 pages of questioning work ethics and stories about David Beckham before getting to the meat of the sandwich. Once I got into the meat I was then confronted with too many pages on how to set-up a Word Press website - frustrating as if I wanted to know how to setup a Word Press or website I would either bought a book on that subject or searched for this information 'free' on the internet.
For someone who knows anything about Internet Marketing there is nothing new here. If you know very little or nothing about Internet Marketing this could be an okay book for you, however - most of this information is freely available on the internet, and you will still need considerable start-up capital, lots of knowledge and so much more time and effort than 1 hour a day.

Get out while you can... and don't waste your money buying this book!! I can't believe how many good reviews this book got, I'm cross with myself for buying this kind of junk. I'm looking to shake things up and escape the rat race, I was hoping for some genuine advice on doing this, but this book offers none. If I'm honest I found the authors style to be more ranting than witty. His idea seems to focus on selling other people information you have. That's what his book is doing, selling an idea/a dream to people who are prepared to pay for it. We are funding his dream, his 1 hour a day of work, and at the end we have nothing to show in return.
I must be honest and confess I'm only half way through according to my kindle. I'm desperately hoping it will improve and I can come back and eat my words but it pains me to continue reading this book, it's wasting my (apparently very valuable) time. I will attempt to struggle through to the end and come back to update this review. So far I have learnt I need multiple revenue streams (no clues how yet), should value my time (ok, I already do), and that I'm a victim of wage slavery. Half a book to repeat this on a loop. YAWN!
