2 Ebooks That Will Change Your Life and Make You Money
Can you really get rich quick working from home on the internet? Web site after web site promises you the world and riches, but is it for real?
My name is Kim Harms and I am a 25 year old stay at home wife. Just like you, I was once interested in learning more about the "work from home", "make millions online", "do nothing and make TONS of money" craze that has struck the internet! I always thought to myself how nice it would be to make money from the comfort of my home and still be able to spend time with my husband. The problem was, I had NO idea what I was doing, where to get started, or if the whole thing was just a scam! The saying, "if it's too good to be true, then it is," flooded my mind. I poured myself into hours and hours of research. I purchased MANY ebooks, read free articles, blogs, and reviews to familiarize myself with the market and all that it had to offer my family and me. I spent so much time pouring over information before I even felt somewhat comfortable getting started with anything!
It's been over a year now since I started my home based business research on the internet and seven months since the launch of my very own business. No, I have NOT become a millionaire like a lot of those ebooks promise you. I have however been able to bring in a very nice second income for my family. I am now making more from home than I was when working as a manager in retail! The plan is simple, the more time I invest into my business, the more money I make. To be completely honest, it does take work on your part and it's not as easy as they make it sound, especially if you're not internet savvy like me in the beginning. But, the truth is, if you are willing to invest a little time upfront, bring to the plate a positive "I can" attitude, and work towards a reasonable goal-then you WILL start seeing your efforts pay off!
I hope to be able to share with you the things I learned along the way to make your venture much more time efficient and save you some money from investing in the MANY ebooks out there that seem to promise you the world and deliver nothing. First, to a skeptic, any type of internet business is a scam! People can't comprehend that it is possible to actually make a descent living right from the comfort of there home, that would be to good to be true. I don't blame you for being skeptical! It's hard to have trust when there is so much misleading information out there on this topic. The thing that I found most frustrating was that most of the "get rich quick" businesses promised you thousands in your pocket in weeks! They even show you their earnings that reflect there massive fortune made in a matter of months! This gives people the wrong impression that anyone can make that kind of money no matter what their skill level. The truth is, the people making this kind of money on the internet are super talented, marketing experts that have been in the business for years and have mastered the trade, not a beginner like you or me! The uplifting thing however is that it is possible it will just take time.
In order to be successful in this business you must be equipped with a positive attitude and believe in yourself. If you don't, you will seemingly fail! You must be willing to invest the time, research, and training required to be able to make a living on the internet.
As I said before, during my research I invested in about 15 different ebooks all promising me millions! I engulfed myself in TONS of reading only to find out that most of the books were a waste of my time and money. A lot of the information was watered down, unrealistic, or just plain didn't work out the way that they stated! I am writing this article to save you this hassle! Please don't waste your money on useless information out there just because it promises you the world! It can get expensive investing in research products. I have however found two of the ebooks to be VERY informative and extremely useful over the past year and I highly recommend starting with these. Gathering information and reading literature about making money on the internet is the smartest thing you can do to become successful. You just have to invest in the right product. Both of these ebooks are just MY recommendations and I have found them to be invaluable. You can read over there context and determine if these strategies are for you and your business.
First, I HIGHLY recommend The Rich Jerk. This is probably the best ebook I have read containing the best information. He offers many different strategies to get money coming in from different resources. The content in his blog is very arrogant and I was actually offended by some of the content. But after reading the book, I discovered that the information itself was worth it! I have found quite a few of his strategies to be GUARANTEED moneymakers for my business!
Second, Google Cash is an amazing ebook that is very well written and really explains the strategies in depth and easily for any beginner! The author, Chris Carpenter, not only inspired me but became a role model in my own endeavors. This ebook deals with Google Adwords and the strategies in making money writing Adwords. If this interests you, I HIGHLY recommend purchasing this ebook. I still refer to it to this day! Google is a multi-billion dollar company...who wouldn't want to be a part of that!
Here are the links to view the information on each of these two ebooks:

Customer Review: Better than a microscope!
Well, my son is not much into toys - eventhough he's only 9, he prefers books and videogames(which I do not allow him to have). He almost never asks for a toy so I got this for him and we all ended up enjoying it. It is amazing - especially if you have an LCD screen to watch it on. Hair, skin, saliva, salt, pepper, sugar, we just go crazy with the things we want to inspect. It was worth the money!! It is fun and educational by arousing scientific curiosity in our son.

Extremely easy to put together and get started. I have no negative comments about this product. Anyone who purchases it should enjoy it. It is exactly as advertised.
The Aristocats (Special Edition)
The Aristocats (Special Edition)
This enchanting tale begins in Paris, when a kind and eccentric millionairess wills her entire estate to her family a family of adorable high-society cats. But when Edgar, the greedy butler, overhears her plan, he catnaps Duchess, the elegant, soft-spoken mother, and her three mischievous kittens and abandons them in the French countryside. Soon, they re being escorted home by the charming Thomas O Malley, a rough-and-tumble alley cat, who takes them to his pad along the way, where Scat Cat and his band of swingin jazz cats perform the memorable Ev rybody Wants To Be A Cat. Enriched by highstyle Disney animation (The New Yorker) and toe-tapping music by Academy Award® winning songwriters the Sherman brothers, The Aristocats is a timeless treasure and the last animated feature to get the nod from Walt Disney himself.
Customer Review: Aristocats
We had the old VHS version and had been waiting for Disney to release a DVD version. Somehow we missed it so we were super glad that Amazon had a brand new copy for sale. This has been a family favorite for years and we really missed owning a copy. We're very happy with our purchase.
Customer Review: BEST IMAGE SHORT OF TRUE HI-DEF!
Nostalgic artists' views of pre-WWI Paris and the French countryside are the backdrop for this sweet Disney classic. The colors and crispness of image on this DVD are truly amazing. I would love to see this movie on Blu-Ray. It is hard to imagine this film looked much better in the theater. The story is the tried and true Disney formula of separation and struggle to be reunited. Innocent enough for the youngest kids, this movie has plenty to offer their parents. It is a shame there aren't six stars for a film like this. The DVD also lets you isolate the songs and skip everything else. It's like buying a separate soundtrack disc but with full animation. I'd like to see this feature on ALL musical movie DVD's.
Across the Universe (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Across the Universe (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Across the Universe, from director Julie Taymor, is a revolutionary rock musical that re-imagines America in the turbulent late-1960s, a time when battle lines were being drawn at home and abroad. When young dockworker Jude (Jim Sturgess) leaves Liverpool to find his estranged father in America, he is swept up by the waves of change that are re-shaping the nation. Jude falls in love with Lucy (Evan Rachel Wood), a rich but sheltered American girl who joins the growing anti-war movement in New York's Greenwich Village. As the body count in Vietnam rises, political tensions at home spiral out of control and the star-crossed lovers find themselves in a psychedelic world gone mad. With a cameo by Bono, Across the Universe is "the kind of movie you watch again, like listening to a favorite album." (Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times)
Customer Review: Not for Beatle fans...
I'm a Huge Beatles Fan and this movie did not made justice for the kind of music they used. The story was so plain, the singing was very teenage girl-like and the videos were so forced into the songs that they did not even made any sense. I believe making a movie with this theme was essential for our times, but this one does not keep up with the weight of working with something that is so important to so many people as Beatles music. If you are a Beatles fan, see it and see for how long you can watch without getting angry.
Customer Review: Don't waste your money
This DVD was a total waste of money. The story was lame and the music an insult to any true Beatle fan

Customer Review: The Aebleskiver pan
I have eaten Aebleskiver since I was young, over 60 years. I was so excited when I saw the pancake puff pan It looked like it would be so much easier to use than my old pan. I Love it!
Customer Review: Not non stick
I am returning this pan. I followed the instructions, coated the pan with oil, pre heated the pan, and they stuck so bad I had to soak the pan in hot water and scrub to get them out. I tried a second time using even more oil and they came out a little easier on the first side, but the second side stuck and I mutilated them trying to get them out. My son and I were excited to try them after seeing the commercial a hundred times. I like the concept. Maybe there is a non stick pan out there. This cast iron is a waste of money.

Eat This Not That: Thousands of Simple Food Swaps That Can Save You 10, 20, 30 Pounds-or More!
Eat This Not That: Thousands of Simple Food Swaps That Can Save You 10, 20, 30 Pounds-or More!
Eat what you want, when you want--and watch the pounds disappear!
Americans spend more than $400 billion a year eating out, and behind each burger, turkey sandwich, and ice cream sundae is a simple decision that could help you control your weight-and your life. The problem is, restaurant chains and food producers aren't interested in helping you make healthy choices. In fact, they invest $30 billion a year on advertising, much of it aimed at confusing eaters and disguising the fat and calorie counts of their products. All of that has changed with EAT THIS, NOT THAT!. This book puts the entire food industry under the spotlight, and arms you with the savvy tricks and insider information it takes to eat well no matter where you are. With EAT THIS, NOT THAT! you're the expert in every eating situation, from the frozen food aisle to your favorite fast food joint to your local sports bar. You control your food universe-and lose the pounds you want--because, unlike every other customer, you'll know the smart choices to make-instantly!
EAT THIS, NOT THAT! is jam-packed with secrets the restaurant industry doesn't want you to know. For example:
Burger King doesn't want you to know that a BK Big Fish. Sandwich and fries have a whopping 1000 calories-nearly half your daily caloric intake! (Fish is usually healthy, but not this kind. Find out why with this book.)
Pizza Hut doesn't want you to know that a standard pizza in Italy contains 500 to 800 calories, but the same meal at Pizza Hut can top 2,100 calories! (You'd need to ride a stationary bike for more than three hours to burn off this mistake. Instead, eat all the pizza you want by making smart choices. EAT THIS, NOT THAT! shows you how.)
Macaroni Grill doesn't want you to know that a single serving of their Grilled Teriyaki Salmon has more than three times your daily allowance of sodium! (Cut your risk of high blood pressure by making smart choices at the same restaurant. You'll find them inside.)
If only you knew the industry secrets, you could eat at any of your favorite restaurants-or chow down on everything from the company vending machine to your kids' Halloween buckets-and know that every decision you made was smart, healthy, and the best possible choice for you. For example, did you know:
At McDonald's, an Egg McMuffin. is actually a healthy choice, with just 300 calories. (The Hotcakes pack more than double that amount!)
At Krispy Kreme, all you need to do is order the Very Berry Chiller instead of the Mocha Dream Chiller, and you'll save 500 calories! (Do that once a week and you'll drop more than 7 pounds this year-without trying!)
At Chipotle, you can cut 570 calories out of your Chicken Burrito just by ordering it as a bowl (without the tortilla) and asking them to hold the rice. (Same great taste, but with 94 fewer carb grams!)
Choosing a cinnamon roll at Au Bon Pain over Cinnabon will save you 463 calories and 20 grams of fat!
In the freezer section of your local supermarket, a turkey pot pie from Swanson's has 610 fewer calories than a turkey pot pie from Pepperidge Farms.
In the produce aisle, you'll get twice the vitamin C-and nine times as much vitamin A-simply by picking red bell peppers over green ones. (Who said eating healthy was difficult?)
And that's why EAT THIS, NOT THAT! is going to change everything. It's time to level the playing field. We're all tired of sneaky calories adding to our waistlines, and having to starve ourselves or spend hours on the treadmill trying to burn off the damage. Now-for the first time-you're in charge. With this simple illustrated guide to thousands of foods--along with the nutrition secrets that lead to fast and permanent weight loss--you'll make the smartest choice every time!
Customer Review: don't know how to do it
Unfortunately I haven't received this book yet although it is more than a month since it should arrive. Don't know what to do to get it.

Customer Review: This is great for #2
I don't have a #2 yet but I am an elementary art teacher and let me tell you that I absolutly love this book. It is done in a fun way that tells both the mom and baby's point of view and gives fun facts that kids can relate to, like you were the size of a toster and what kinds of things the baby is working on at each stage of pregnance. I buy it for all my friends who are expecting, especially if it is # 2 or #3!
Customer Review: Good, if you are mainstream...
... but if you are planning an out of hospital birth or a birth with midwives, it's not quite as peachy. There is an illustration of mom at the doctor's office getting checked out early on, a reference in the text to her seeing the doc when baby drops, and then she rushes off to the hospital to push and push in the final pages. No room for birth center or homebirth, the midwifery model of care or self-care.
There is also a full-page illustration of father dusting off a crib.
I also had a hard time identifying with the mother in the illustrations, who is very white upper-middle class in her dresses, make-up and workout clothing.
Parenting, lifestyle, and birth choices aside, this is definitely a book written by a mother, not a writer, and sometimes the rhymes are a bit forced. The illustrations make up for it in their jolly attitude, but are not caldecott contenders- they are quick and dirty cartoon style pen and ink, colorwash type things, with little art.
However, if you see an OB regularly, have a seperate nursery for baby, and like Martha Stewart, this book might be right on target for you!

We had the old VHS version and had been waiting for Disney to release a DVD version. Somehow we missed it so we were super glad that Amazon had a brand new copy for sale. This has been a family favorite for years and we really missed owning a copy. We're very happy with our purchase.
Customer Review: BEST IMAGE SHORT OF TRUE HI-DEF!
Nostalgic artists' views of pre-WWI Paris and the French countryside are the backdrop for this sweet Disney classic. The colors and crispness of image on this DVD are truly amazing. I would love to see this movie on Blu-Ray. It is hard to imagine this film looked much better in the theater. The story is the tried and true Disney formula of separation and struggle to be reunited. Innocent enough for the youngest kids, this movie has plenty to offer their parents. It is a shame there aren't six stars for a film like this. The DVD also lets you isolate the songs and skip everything else. It's like buying a separate soundtrack disc but with full animation. I'd like to see this feature on ALL musical movie DVD's.
Across the Universe (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Across the Universe (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Across the Universe, from director Julie Taymor, is a revolutionary rock musical that re-imagines America in the turbulent late-1960s, a time when battle lines were being drawn at home and abroad. When young dockworker Jude (Jim Sturgess) leaves Liverpool to find his estranged father in America, he is swept up by the waves of change that are re-shaping the nation. Jude falls in love with Lucy (Evan Rachel Wood), a rich but sheltered American girl who joins the growing anti-war movement in New York's Greenwich Village. As the body count in Vietnam rises, political tensions at home spiral out of control and the star-crossed lovers find themselves in a psychedelic world gone mad. With a cameo by Bono, Across the Universe is "the kind of movie you watch again, like listening to a favorite album." (Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times)
Customer Review: Not for Beatle fans...
I'm a Huge Beatles Fan and this movie did not made justice for the kind of music they used. The story was so plain, the singing was very teenage girl-like and the videos were so forced into the songs that they did not even made any sense. I believe making a movie with this theme was essential for our times, but this one does not keep up with the weight of working with something that is so important to so many people as Beatles music. If you are a Beatles fan, see it and see for how long you can watch without getting angry.
Customer Review: Don't waste your money
This DVD was a total waste of money. The story was lame and the music an insult to any true Beatle fan

Customer Review: The Aebleskiver pan
I have eaten Aebleskiver since I was young, over 60 years. I was so excited when I saw the pancake puff pan It looked like it would be so much easier to use than my old pan. I Love it!
Customer Review: Not non stick
I am returning this pan. I followed the instructions, coated the pan with oil, pre heated the pan, and they stuck so bad I had to soak the pan in hot water and scrub to get them out. I tried a second time using even more oil and they came out a little easier on the first side, but the second side stuck and I mutilated them trying to get them out. My son and I were excited to try them after seeing the commercial a hundred times. I like the concept. Maybe there is a non stick pan out there. This cast iron is a waste of money.

Eat This Not That: Thousands of Simple Food Swaps That Can Save You 10, 20, 30 Pounds-or More!
Eat This Not That: Thousands of Simple Food Swaps That Can Save You 10, 20, 30 Pounds-or More!
Eat what you want, when you want--and watch the pounds disappear!
Americans spend more than $400 billion a year eating out, and behind each burger, turkey sandwich, and ice cream sundae is a simple decision that could help you control your weight-and your life. The problem is, restaurant chains and food producers aren't interested in helping you make healthy choices. In fact, they invest $30 billion a year on advertising, much of it aimed at confusing eaters and disguising the fat and calorie counts of their products. All of that has changed with EAT THIS, NOT THAT!. This book puts the entire food industry under the spotlight, and arms you with the savvy tricks and insider information it takes to eat well no matter where you are. With EAT THIS, NOT THAT! you're the expert in every eating situation, from the frozen food aisle to your favorite fast food joint to your local sports bar. You control your food universe-and lose the pounds you want--because, unlike every other customer, you'll know the smart choices to make-instantly!
EAT THIS, NOT THAT! is jam-packed with secrets the restaurant industry doesn't want you to know. For example:
Burger King doesn't want you to know that a BK Big Fish. Sandwich and fries have a whopping 1000 calories-nearly half your daily caloric intake! (Fish is usually healthy, but not this kind. Find out why with this book.)
Pizza Hut doesn't want you to know that a standard pizza in Italy contains 500 to 800 calories, but the same meal at Pizza Hut can top 2,100 calories! (You'd need to ride a stationary bike for more than three hours to burn off this mistake. Instead, eat all the pizza you want by making smart choices. EAT THIS, NOT THAT! shows you how.)
Macaroni Grill doesn't want you to know that a single serving of their Grilled Teriyaki Salmon has more than three times your daily allowance of sodium! (Cut your risk of high blood pressure by making smart choices at the same restaurant. You'll find them inside.)
If only you knew the industry secrets, you could eat at any of your favorite restaurants-or chow down on everything from the company vending machine to your kids' Halloween buckets-and know that every decision you made was smart, healthy, and the best possible choice for you. For example, did you know:
At McDonald's, an Egg McMuffin. is actually a healthy choice, with just 300 calories. (The Hotcakes pack more than double that amount!)
At Krispy Kreme, all you need to do is order the Very Berry Chiller instead of the Mocha Dream Chiller, and you'll save 500 calories! (Do that once a week and you'll drop more than 7 pounds this year-without trying!)
At Chipotle, you can cut 570 calories out of your Chicken Burrito just by ordering it as a bowl (without the tortilla) and asking them to hold the rice. (Same great taste, but with 94 fewer carb grams!)
Choosing a cinnamon roll at Au Bon Pain over Cinnabon will save you 463 calories and 20 grams of fat!
In the freezer section of your local supermarket, a turkey pot pie from Swanson's has 610 fewer calories than a turkey pot pie from Pepperidge Farms.
In the produce aisle, you'll get twice the vitamin C-and nine times as much vitamin A-simply by picking red bell peppers over green ones. (Who said eating healthy was difficult?)
And that's why EAT THIS, NOT THAT! is going to change everything. It's time to level the playing field. We're all tired of sneaky calories adding to our waistlines, and having to starve ourselves or spend hours on the treadmill trying to burn off the damage. Now-for the first time-you're in charge. With this simple illustrated guide to thousands of foods--along with the nutrition secrets that lead to fast and permanent weight loss--you'll make the smartest choice every time!

Customer Review: This is great for #2
I don't have a #2 yet but I am an elementary art teacher and let me tell you that I absolutly love this book. It is done in a fun way that tells both the mom and baby's point of view and gives fun facts that kids can relate to, like you were the size of a toster and what kinds of things the baby is working on at each stage of pregnance. I buy it for all my friends who are expecting, especially if it is # 2 or #3!
Customer Review: Good, if you are mainstream...
... but if you are planning an out of hospital birth or a birth with midwives, it's not quite as peachy. There is an illustration of mom at the doctor's office getting checked out early on, a reference in the text to her seeing the doc when baby drops, and then she rushes off to the hospital to push and push in the final pages. No room for birth center or homebirth, the midwifery model of care or self-care.
There is also a full-page illustration of father dusting off a crib.
I also had a hard time identifying with the mother in the illustrations, who is very white upper-middle class in her dresses, make-up and workout clothing.
Parenting, lifestyle, and birth choices aside, this is definitely a book written by a mother, not a writer, and sometimes the rhymes are a bit forced. The illustrations make up for it in their jolly attitude, but are not caldecott contenders- they are quick and dirty cartoon style pen and ink, colorwash type things, with little art.
However, if you see an OB regularly, have a seperate nursery for baby, and like Martha Stewart, this book might be right on target for you!
