I loved reading this. I’d been thinking about the difference between saving and making money, and your post helped me solidify my ideas. I figured out that saving money doesn’t really make any sense for me or my lifestyle. So I’m not going to do it anymore.

I posted about this decision at http://www.anomadslot.com/2010/06/26/why-im-going-to-stop-saving-money/

Thanks for the great insights and inspiration!

I say it’s great for the inspiring story.

It’s a good book for beginners. If you’ve never made $1000 online it’s one of the best places to start. But if you’ve already established yourself it might not be your next step. I found the story inspiring, but I have to say the technical details weren’t anything new for me.

But that’s just me. Some of the reviewers say it’s too technical and advanced.

I just looked over the reviews and it has 4+ stars out of five. To me that’s pretty good. You’ll always have your detractors.

One of the negative reviews starts with “Another rags to riches story about internet marketing. Millions try, only a handful make it” Maybe it’s just me but I love rags to riches stories. The fact that only a handful make it, well that makes it more inspiring… to me.

I’d say everything in Ewan Chia’s book can be found online for free. But you’d have to go to 50 different sites and dozens of blog posts to find it all. I’d say it’s worth the 14 bucks to have it all compiled for you.

He’s a little to flashy for my tastes at times, but that’s okay. He knows affiliate marketing. He’s done it.

I guess I can’t say if it’s for you or not. I wouldn’t do things exactly the way Ewan did them. But that doesn’t make his story less valuable to me.
