Here is an opportunity to capitalize on virtual world with your daily use gadgets. So learn and earn from the comfort of your home or from any connected device around the world.
If you are tempted to read this book, get it from the public library. Its content is waaaaay out of date in 2013. It only gives you a couple of revenue producing hints. Similar, up to date ideas should be easily googlable at this point. To me, these pointers consist of 1-2 pages of a 133 page book (but the "notebook" pages bring it to a whopping 137 pages). Then, pp. 71-134 tell you how to do such terrifying things such as: choosing a user name, and logging into the site. I did learn that they had such a thing as a Guru account, to "prove" that you are an expert in your field. (However, i don't think anyone I subscribe to has guru status. I'll have to check.)
While I applaud authors bringing timeless content to the world through self publishing, the fact this this book was created by selfhelppublishing.com (a print on demand service) makes me wonder who at the Austin Public Library authorized its purchase, even in 2007. I hate to give books bad reviews, but I would give this zero stars if there was an option for it.
On the plus side: 1) It has a comprehensive table of contents and 2) provides several lists of video hosting sites that were alive in 2007. (The only one I recognize, however, is Vimeo.)
That's it--save your time and read the YouTube FAQ page. It will contain better information and be up to date.
