Book Review: Making Money From Home


Making Money from Home
By: Donna Partow
$13.99 SRP


I wish I could right a glowing review of this book* and say that I loved it and would recommend.  But unfortunately I can't. Honestly I could barely make it through this book.  I think that it has taken my 8 months or something to get through most of it before giving it up for lost. I won't say much because I don't have a lot of positive things to say...and if you can't say something nice, you shouldn't say anything at all. 

Donna shares different ways to become a business women from home.  She talks about business plans, raising start up costs,, marketing, etc.  I felt the tone of the book was harsh and not really supportive, which I didn't like.  I also disagree with the author on many points in the book and was frustrated by it.  I did like her chapter on blogging and found that to be helpful.  Women who want to work from home do it so they can work around their kids and home live and not be tied to a job.  I don't really think that she helped with how to do that.  She did touch on Network Marketing a bit, which is really one of the only ways to "have your cake and eat it too", so to speak.  

All in all,  this is not a book that I would recommend reading.  There are many other better books on the market on this subject. 

*I received a complimentary copy of the book for review purposes from Tyndale House
