The way to make money according to the author is advertising on the internet. That is how he made his money. The issue is he says this is how to become rich but does not explain how to contact companies to become affiliates, give real examples of companies he has affiliated with and how he built the relationships with them. There is a lot missing in the story on how to turn a webpage into a profitable enterprise. The skeleton of a good book is there but needs fleshing out.

I'm just not sure about this book. The author wants us to change a lot of our general beliefs on money management and wealth creation. I definitely don't buy one of his central premises that higher education is actually counterproductive. He does however have some interesting ideas on changing one's focus from reducing debts and expenses to increasing wealth. This is an interesting book, well worth some time and thought, especially to winnow out the concepts that work for you.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

At last a book for the everyday man or woman on why most books on managing money aren't much use. If you haven't got any what's to manage? The author focuses centrally on 'increasing your means' rather than just decreasing your spending which makes perfect sense. Combine this with the book Money by Rob Moore and you have a much needed philosophy shift about your finances. Will it tell you exactly how it is done? Not exactly, but it does inspire you to believe it can be done. The money making centre of this is adding value. Surprisingly readable and food for real thought.

This book is a razor-sharp blade. It delivers the truth about money, or making money.
Advice like 'Money doesn't care how hard you work', is something very original.
There's a lot of insights to be gleaned from the book.
The author also touched on Affiliate Marketing which helped him to shift into the riches which a reader needs to be open minded about it.
He also mentioned some unethical practices of other people he met which is pretty interesting as well.
It will be good if he could have a book all on that topic.

Overall, it is a book i will personally recommend to friends who are interested in making money as this book tried to rewire the brain to accept the truth about what money is.

Personally I am not an advocate of success without basic education and I am anyway too far away on the education scale to change my personal situation, but I reckon the dynamics and opportunities in the USA are different in this respect than in other part of the world. On the other hand, there are a lot of opportunities nowadays for entrepreneurs with ideas and a bit of skills that can advance notwithstanding regardless of their (educational) background.
The Book on Making Money offers a couple of basic useful ideas about how to 'create value' for making money, trying to de-mystify the usual approaches on financial success and how to achieve it. True is that 'The more money you have the more choices you have' and nowadays you don't have to necessarily create a special service to answer the needs of a very specific market. It is important to do what you know/learn to do and to do it perfectly well. But somehow, the author is caught into the trap of too easy tips to be true temptation. My impression after reading the book is that I got a couple of good ideas - like how to create sounding SEO strategies and use Google Ads -but even more promises which shall be considered nothing more than glittering packaging for those looking for a survival path from the usual office jobs. How you can practically create those 6-figure salary allowing you that perfect freedom of spending time with the family, travel the world and be rich is another story not necessarily covered by the book.
Otherwise, if you are just at the very beginning of your business planning and you need some basic inspiration, this book may offer couple of good inspiration.
