review 1: Some of the talk left a bit of a bad taste in my mouth (very used-car-salesman), but I understand the "create value for others" exhortation and think that the core of the message is to use every tool at your disposal. I won't be doing what this book says (I'm afraid I just can't get my skin to thicken up at the moment), but at the same time, this was an eye-opener, if nothing else. An unexpected takeaway I got from this book: it explains why I am currently getting so many webinar sign-up e-mails that I am getting truly sick and tired of them. I may have been interested in the topics in the beginning (I'm a tax accountant and I'm on some mailing lists), but too many of these webinars have been of the shallow, scratch-the-surface type, and the delivery seemed much more al... moreong the lines of trying to generate as much content as possible than to convey actual useful knowledge/know-how. The constant sell-sell-sell pressure I am getting is enough to make me look for an unsubscribe button for every mailing list that sends me a webinar that either doesn't seem connected to my interests, or worse, is a complete waste of 30 minutes to an hour of my time that I could have used for actual productivity and not rehashed information I can get from a Google search. Only two of the webinars I've been invited to were even remotely any good; the rest of them were disappointingly unhelpful, and in one case the webinar was only barely connected to the promised topic.Perhaps the real takeaway here is this: all the techniques in the world cannot disguise the fact that long-term successful internet marketing requires an actual product to deliver, and that ultimately, value is in the eye of the beholder.
review 2: The Laptop Millionaire could have been a 2 or a 4 out of 5, so I settled on a 3. The information, though dated in places, was generally helpful but the scammy vibe (there are a lot of exclamation points ... a lot) kept this from being a next-level book like 4-Hour Workweek. The anonymous-millionaire-who-gives-advice angle was also done to death in the Rich Dad, Poor Dad series. Don't need another. less
