Customer Reviews

Excellent!
Having got a little less money at my age than I had planned I was trying to think of ways of raising a little more money. I had come up with the usual hair brain schemes usually only associated with Del Boy when I stumbled across this book. What a refreshing way of looking at your lack of money - It has more than helped me and I have had a few ideas of my own along the way and now have a regular stall at craft markets selling my wares - which all helps towards paying bills and saving for an all important wedding!

Food for thought
As "extra income" books go, this one is quite nicely structured and easy to read. There are some interesting short case studies and useful URLs included (though some of the URLs now appear out of date - as is the fluidity of the internet!). Although most of the ideas are not new, the book does give the reader some food for thought, though I found the sections on competitions a little limited.

Interesting to scan
I bought this book on sale with the expectation that there would be little chance of an outstandingly new idea to make money while still full employed in a 'normal' job. I was not disappointed.

However, the book is still worth a couple of quid since it usually points the reader to relevant next steps for each idea.
