This novel was helpful in that not only will you get ideas on at home hobbies or careers to start. But you are also given helpful tips on how to successfully turn your hobby into a profitable career.

I thoughoutly enjoyed the novel as it was straight to the point and gave actionable tips.

Thank you Netgally for allowing me to read this novel.

Very good book with practical ideas on side hassle. This types of books help not only to think of a side busy but also to realize that all of us have a good potential for earning on some skills and experience we may take for granted.

Loved the concept behind this book, and lots of interesting content. 'Eclectic' was the word that sprung to my mind - some of the ideas (such as making your audiobook) seem very niche, though it does include some ideas that are a little less time intensive/ more mainstream). What it does well, is go into a lot of detail about each idea - no corners are cut, and this is a very good selling point.

All in all, an interesting read.

My thanks to Netgalley, author and publisher for the opportunity to review this book in exchange for an adman ce copy.

COVID-19 changed how we work. Many employees moved their offices to their houses. Others are looking for ways to do the same. “That is a Good Idea: Ideas to Make Money During These Times of Covid,” by Herbert King, offers different ways that one could use their talents to make money.

The book’s table of contents lists these approaches: online teaching, affiliate blogging, book writing, podcasting, video blogging, and photography. I appreciated King’s discussion on where photographers could sell images. My wife fills out online surveys. Someone like her would find chapter eight helpful, as it lists the companies that pay for online surveys.

Those with little knowledge of the internet will find this book helpful. The author explained blogs, eBooks, and YouTube. If you know what these are, you will skip these sections. The book presents generic instructions on the mechanics of writing. I considered this off topic. Someone deciding to write a book will use a different resource for more detailed information on the subject.

King’s book gets you thinking of ways to make a living from home. Kudos to him for doing that very thing by writing this book. Support his cause and find a little inspiration by buying his book.

THAT IS A GOOD IDEA gives advice on how to make extra money in these strange times.

What I like about the book is that King doesn't simply go through a list of hundreds of ideas; they stick to a few that they know, or have researched, and then give a decent how-to guide on this - so we learn in principle how to record a podcast or teach online.

This is a fun little book for someone who's interested in making a few extra pounds.

Thanks to Herbert King, NetGalley, and BooksGoSocial for this copy.
