John is probably most well known for his blog which generates tens of thousands of dollars a month and his book is designed to help individuals to make money from blogging.
The first thing I should say is that I am certainly no beginner when it comes to Internet marketing having been working online since 1998 so I am possibly not in the intended target market for this book but I do like to keep up to date with what other Internet marketers are writing about and actually, I am pretty new to blogging. I work on the basis that if I can find one or two gems of information in a product such as this then it will be a worthwhile investment of both my time and money.
If you are a complete beginner to blogging then John's book is a great place to start. It sets out the basics very clearly and will give any newbie a pretty much step by step action plan to work from. I did find that many of the points had already been covered in John's free ebook which is available by subscribing to his newsletter but it is always nice to have a `proper' book. So for a beginner to blogging, yes this is an easy read with lots of useful information.
I suppose the real question here is `Did I find the gems I was looking for?' and the answer is yes. There were a couple of points which I thought `ah, that's a good idea' and in particular the chapter about Google Adsense was a bit of an eye-opener for me! I am slightly ashamed to admit that despite having been earning money on a daily basis with Adsense since July 2003, I had never heard of Section Targeting until I read about it in John's book! I know, call myself an Internet marketer, the cheek of it!
All in all a good read but probably more suited to a complete blogging newbie...

A Solid Roadmap for Beginning and Struggling Bloggers
14 Jun 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
If it weren't for my familiarity with John Chow, I might have passed on this book based on my skepticism of the "make money online" theme of the title. Although you can download the ebook for free from his site, I was impressed by the comments on his blog and the reviews here that I decided to give the paperback a chance. This has become one of my top books of 2010.
I've been blogging since 2004, with modest success. While I knew quite a bit about blogging and WordPress, I managed to pick up some tips and tricks in the first six chapters. Chapter 7 covered what I felt that I needed help the most - how to write online content that attracts and keeps readers. I also learned a lot from Chapters 8 through 13 and will refer to them once I nail down the principles in the seventh chapter.
This book is such an easy read that I plowed through it this morning, highlighting almost every page. If you have just launched blog (or are planning to) and want a solid blueprint on how to make it successful, Make Money Online is a must-read. If you've been blogging for 6+ months and find yourself struggling to build your readership and/or earn a full-time living, Make Money Online is a must-read.

Not too good

This isn't a bad book if you're a newbee, but for those who have any clue about blogging and/or affiliate marketing, you can take a pass on this book as most of its content can be gleaned with a few Google searches.

A Refresher Course that was much needed!
21 May 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I've been a reader of John Chow since 2007 so of course I'd buy his book. If you are fairly new to the whole "make money online" scene, then this book is going to be extremely beneficial to you. With each chapter, you are basically getting step by step instructions on how to start out the right way. If you are seasoned, then you will still benefit from the book. Even though I already knew much of the information through chapter 8...I still read it word by word. It was refreshing to just go back over the basics of things and remind myself of a few things I have forgotten along the way. After chapter 8, specifically the promotion and seo pages, I found many useful tips. Things that I had forgotten about and things that I never thought of. Chapter 10, optimizing google adsense was an eye opener for me. I realized that I hadn't done quite a few things mentioned in the book and even though I make a decent amount, I could be making more had I implemented these ideas. Chapter 10 and on was fabulous! Informative and helpful! And there's even a surprise at the end.......
I would love to give more detail but then I'd give things away. It's a great read from a man who's been there, done that and you'd be wise to follow his advice. I absolutely recommend it.
