New Path to Riches

January 2, 2010 by Shawn Collins

I just read the book New Path to Riches by Nick Usborne, and I liked it a lot, but I think the title is a little bit misleading.

Shawn CollinsIn the book, Nick goes into detail about creating and monetizing sites, and I think the advice is very useful for people just getting into the business.

But I don’t see it as a path to riches – realistically, most people won’t come close to being rich from their sites. Nick is candid about expectations on the back of the book, as he explains that people following his recommendations could make $500, $1,000, or even $5,000 more a month.

I suppose it depends on your definition of riches, but I don’t think anybody added $6,000 to their annual income will consider themselves rich, because of it.

Anyhow, aside from the title, I think it’s a useful book, and it’s a quick read.

Readers can learn the steps to pulling together a quality site and making money on it.

Also, and this is something of a minor issue, but I didn’t care for the font. It was sort of big. which made it hard for me to read for some ready (I have 20/20 vision). If I had it to do over, I’d grab it on the Kindle instead.

Otherwise, I recommend it for folks getting into site building and monetization.
