Helpful Stuff but Dated October 30, 2007
35 out of 37 found this review helpful

Dan Kennedy wrote this book to be helpful and is genuinly insightful for the reader. "How to Make Millions with Your Ideas" is dated material, but helpful and inspiring. Dan is candid and has a ton of practical knowledge to offer in this book. I can recommend this book because it delivers what is says it will; 8 different approaches to making your ideas work and make money. More recently his books are the longest sales letters ever written, all designed to get you to buy more of the same material from him.

However, be warned he hates the internet and would like to ignore it. He wrote this in 1996 and the web was really forcing these old school guys to deal with it. So if you were looking for help with anything "e" related, like I was, this is not the book for you.

Ironically, the two companies I found relevant to my marketing have been indited or convicted and are now out of business. I thought I would learn more about these companies after reading about them in this book. So I Googled them and found court cases and a bunch of nastiness. Interesting! Again, the book was written in 1996 and I read it in Mid-September 2007, anything can happen. Right?

If you are looking for a book that is truly helpful with "e" marketing or is at least current STAY AWAY from "The Official Get Rich Guide to Information Marketing" I finished it a few days ago and was very disappointed; it kept referencing me to their website for the information I really bought the book for. If you really want to learn how to be a Junk-Mail Jockey or a Spammer skip buying that book and go directly to the Kennedy-Glazer web site and be prepared to spend BIG BUCKS for the real information.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR ALL ENTREPRENEURS! January 13, 2006
27 out of 50 found this review helpful

It upset me to see that one negative review only because I can picture the tobacco-spitting hillbilly sitting in his (or her) roach infested (Joe's) apartment spewing a bunch of negativity about a man who does nothing more with his life than show people how to make money. Maybe that person should do more applying of the techniques rather than degrading the actual book that many people have used to become millionaires. (Or maybe that person is too busy staring at the cracks in his $200-per-month apartment walls and smoking rolled cigarettes to have time to apply any million-dollar techniques.)

All of Dan Kennedy's books are incredible and highly recommended. Yes, the man is arrogant and I personally had an altercation with him about that once. Perhaps that's why his wife left him. But, the bottom line is, who cares? He can be as arrogant as he wants to be. (His office sent me a Dan Kennedy bobble head of him sitting on a bull...yes, the man is arrogant. Anyone who makes a bobble head of himself is VERY ARROGANT.)

BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT. He has some incredible ideas of becoming wealthy beyond your wildest dreams...actual WORKABLE ideas. He even includes a listing of resources that are worth thousands by themselves. This book is definitely worth its weight in gold about 10 times over, if not more.

This is one of my favorite Dan Kennedy books. (The other is the Ultimate Sales Letter.) It actually gives real workable million-dollar ideas and blueprints that you can use to make millions of dollars. It's a real eye opener and clued me in on quite a few things I can do that I never thought of before.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED unless you're like the Joe's Apartment hillbilly that gave the one negative review. If that's the case, just keep concentrating on the paint peeling off your crappy apartment walls and getting your daily General Hospital fix through your rabbit-eared, tin-foil rigged television set. After all, that's what is really important to someone who will never amount to anything.

Worth a Million April 6, 2006

This book is very typical Dan Kennedy. That is to say it is based on years of experience and he tells it like it is. He does not give theory but gives specific examples of what works and what does not work.

There are some very basic truth - gems in fact - hidden in the book. You might miss them if you haven't been there and experienced the same situation yourself. One of the very basic truths is, "Wealth is most often linked with exclusive ownership or control." You may make a fortune with someone's idea or product, but you stand a much better chance with your own. Another basic truth is if you can find a product that gives people more time, that is if your product or service saves the customer/client time, then you can make a fortune.

Dan gives great advise - don't concentrate on making money, instead concentrate on delivering a better product or service. You will never get rich competing on price ... so go for quality.

Dan made and is still making a fortune from coaching and direct marketing. He started with little or nothing and learned the hard way, through experience. You would do well to read the book for all the lessons. You will be learning from a master.

An idea generator - not a how-to June 5, 2001
26 out of 27 found this review helpful

As someone who doesn't live in the US, I am continually amazed by Americans who complain about lack of opportunity to make money. Nowhere else in the world has the money making opportunities of the US, NOWHERE! And I've lived in many countries and visited a lot more to boot.

This book is really about taking your ideas for products and services and revving them up with excellent ways to market and sell them. It's also chock full of excellent examples of people who have done just that. Real people that is, with REAL obstacles and sometimes almost no money, who got off there derriere and did it.

I found myself thinking lots of ideas for when I get back home. Admittedly I lot of ideas simply don't translate to my home country, but the really great thing about the book is it's attitude. Everywhere in the world, even in communist countries, people go out each day and make and spend money. Getting a slice of that money is what this book is really about.

Where-ever you are in the business world, whether you are an employee looking for something better, or a business owner looking to give your incoming wealth a mega-vitamin booster... GET THIS BOOK!

5 out of 5 stars A great companion to Jay Abraham's 'Getting Everything You Can Out of All You've Got' July 23, 2006

Dan Kennedy is another street-smart author/consultant whose published works I really admire, despite the associated slick factors. The other is Jay Abraham.

To me, this particular book, written as an entrepreneur's guide, is definitely a great companion to Jay Abraham's 'Getting Everything You Can Out of All You've Got' which I had reviewed earlier - & vice versa.

Like Jay Abraham's book, it is jam-packed with actionable tools & ideas. Most of the tools & ideas can also be easily adapted, with a little bit of ingenuity, to suit one's unique marketplace & special circumstances. This is the elegant beauty of both Jay Abraham's & Dan Kennedy's street-smart advice.

I have specifically adapted many of his tools & ideas. His 'Million Dollar Rolodex' in Chapter 13 is just one excellent example, among many others.

I certainly rate this book very highly. GO FOR IT...if you want to make your dreams come true!
