Stuffed like Granny's Thanksgiving Turkey
Making Money Online. Mmmm, doesn't that sound
    awesome! Easy money, right? Well, maybe it could be
 according to millionaire internet pioneer, Marc Ostrofsky.
   In his book, Get Rich Click, Ostrofsky provides multiple
   moneymaking ideas and examples of people who used
  them to made money online, big money. Additionally to
several pages of accolades on the book (mostly from other
   successful online marketers), the book contains 17 full
chapters of methods to potentially break into the internet
    monetary market. Mr. Ostrofsky also gives the reader
  input on developing a mindset to get into this business,
       plus loads of references to resources for tools or
                    additional information.
What I liked about this book is the fact that is does indeed
  deliver the goods. The methods presented are proven
methods for making money on the internet and Ostrofsky
  gives you enough information about the method to at
least get your started, should you wish to pursue further.
    So in regards to quantity, this book is a hands down
 winner. If I sat down and wrote out a list of every single
  way you might be able to make money on the internet,
   from selling personal items on eBay to selling domain
names for millions of dollars (Ok maybe the domain name
 for millions of dollars isn't up for grabs anymore - unless
  you are keeping your eye on the future of the dotMobi
domains), I don't think I could have covered the field any
                 better than this book does.
The other thing I liked about this book is the resources
  provided. Within every method described in the book,
 Ostrofsky does a good job of providing links to resources
   for tools or providers that are valuable to the newbie
entrepreneur. Additionally, at the end of the book, there is
    a whole chapter dedicated to resource and supplier
                        information.
Because Get Rich Click is packed with information that
  serious lookers for internet opportunities could benefit
from, I highly recommend it. I applaud the authors style to
      present important key processes in easy to follow
  numbered sequences or with bullet points. As someone
 who reads a high volume of technical information on the
  web or in books, it is refreshing to see the steps broken
  down into little chunks that are easy to read and digest.
The book is also broken down into small sub chapters so it
   goes pretty quick and for those of us that may only be
 interested in one specific method or two, the book is laid
 out to easily accommodate them. I don't recommend this
  of course, because you will not get your money's worth
   from the book by just cherry picking a method or two.
Now my Grain of Salt
Despite my recommendation of the book, to give fair
warning for anyone with their hand hovered over the "buy
 now" button on Amazon; I would like to point out a few
           things I did not like about the book.
First - although the book appears to be organized in a nice
standard Microsoft Word Outline with titles, and sub-titles
with text attached to it, sometimes the organization of the
  author's thoughts get a little off course. For example, in
  the chapter titled "Collecting Your Payments - Fast and
 Easy", the author gets into collecting payment with credit
 cards and using drop shipping and so on. So far, so good.
   But then right in the midst of that, he presents a flow
 chart and a concept about Database Marketing and talks
 about the qualifying and selling leads. What? What does
this have to do with getting paid? I found examples of this
  ADD writing style throughout the book, which could be
  more attributed to bad editing than bad authoring, but
  either way it does take away from the flow quite a bit.
Second - you cannot get through the book without feeling
a little bit snookered either. Clearly many of the references
provided by the author must be obtained by a link back to
   his website. No doubt this is for a monetary affiliation
with that referenced product or service. While the book IS
 about making money online and I cannot fault the author
    for trying to make money as he proposes to you, the
   reader, it would be so refreshing to read a book about
online marketing or monetizing that is truly altruistic from
 the author (like they claim they are.) "I made money so I
  want to give back, blah, blah, blah....." Make no mistake
about it; besides the profits Ostrofsky is making from book
  sales, his intention is connecting to you, the reader, as a
       potential income source. So, keep that in mind. I
  personally don't have an issue with it and frankly, given
Finally, the last thing I didn't like about the book is the
  author self-aggrandizement that is splashed throughout
 the book. Again, this is super typical for this type of book
  where the author uses his/her own success as the most
      shining example of how to do whatever they are
 promoting in their books. Maybe I'm not being fair here,
   because of course we wouldn't want to hear from the
   author unless they hadn't done something to establish
 themselves as an expert on the topic. Still, I keep hoping
to find one that is not like this. I think it is entirely possible
 to present your success without coming across as an ego
 maniac name dropper. Get Rich Click is not as bad as that
 but there was enough self aggrandizement in the book to
                   irritate me once in a while.
Summary
Ok so maybe I'm jealous or maybe I just have never been
good a fit for over the top salesy stereotypes that tend to
   write these money making books. Hint, hint...does this
mean this type of personality is a requirement in mindset
 to be successful? No, I don't really believe that is true. In
fact, when you think about the concepts promoted in this
 book for "online" success, which implies individual non-
   corporate achievement, self entrepreneurship, and an
  independent spirit, then the opposite logically might be
    true. I've given Mr. Ostrofsky a little bit a grief for his
   salesman like style in the book but nevertheless I still
     applaud him for creating a story and an example of
 individual spirit and ingenuity. These are the stories that
     interest us and make us buy books to see if there is
        anything we can do to emulate these stories.
This book is just too filled with good information not to
   read it. You may have to investigate a little further any
  specific method that appeals to you, but the book does
     provide a comprehensive overview of each method
presented. I rate a book of this genre, which is intended to
inform and educate, by how much I actually learned. And I
did learn from this book, plus I also got several good ideas
  and resources I intent to look into further. I feel you will
                              too.
