“The greatest benefit of self-employment, or even a side project that produces additional income, is personal freedom. When you can take more control of your choices, you’ll experience an independence that money can’t buy. No one will do this for you. If you want freedom, you’ll have to make it happen for yourself. This guide can help.”
If you want to create the personal freedom to live anywhere you desire, travel when you please, spend more time with family, and generally own your own time, then working for yourself is the only path to success. But many people misunderstand the realities of self-employment and starting your very own small business.
There are a loads of guides for how to make money on the internet, but most of them are useless. Either they’ll lead you to greatly overestimate how tremendously easy it is to make thousands of dollars each month, or they’re simply filled with fluff—the only way the authors know how to make money online is by selling “make money online” products with no real valuable information!
But Chris Guillebeau’s Unconventional Guides are different.
Chris runs a massively popular blog called The Art of Non-Conformity all about unconventional thinking and living. His free manifesto A Brief Guide to World Domination has been downloaded over 100,000 times. He’s been completely self-employed his entire life, earning his income online for the last 10 years, and building a stunning reputation for himself through his own writing projects, so he brings a great deal of knowledge to the subject.
Chris has traveled the globe with the goal of visiting every country in the world, using his own small business to fund his travels. His Unconventional Guide to Working for Yourself is a straightforward, myth-shattering guide that will get you started building your own very small business on the side that will help you have the same personal freedom to go where you want, when you want!
Who is it for? And what do you get?
I highly recommend this book for anyone who is ready to start their first online business (even small side businesses in your off time from a full-time job), or anyone that’s interested in knowing some of the best strategies that real people use to make money online.
You’ll get a 53-page PDF report, filled with detailed strategic and tactical info on how to get started, as well as outlines for 8 different kinds of businesses you can set up. Along with the book are three 25-minute MP3 audio lessons and an expert report full of Search Engine Optimization tips.
Just a few of the things you’ll learn:
- 8 Strategies for starting an Online Business, each with a thorough action plan.
- 6 Top Mistakes New Entrepreneurs Make and how to avoid them.
- The most overrated businesses to stay away from.
- An invaluable outline for writing and launching your own product.
- How to Get Paid for Things you Already Do for Free.
- How to build your own eBay business, sell photography online, earn money with your blog, set up Adsense-earning sites, membership sites, sell consulting services online, and more…
- How to scale your business once you’ve started.
For each money-making strategy, you get a detailed action plan so you can start putting it into practice right away.
My overall thoughts on the guide:
Chris’ claims in this guide are attainable and it sets reasonable expectations for the reader. You’re not going to become a millionaire overnight like some ebooks will claim, but Chris guarantees to teach you enough that you can earn an extra $200 per month if you put the knowledge to use. So at just 39 bucks, it’s a very worthwhile investment—who couldn’t use an extra $2,400 a year?
Just like all of the Unconventional Guides series, Chris’ guide to working for yourself is extremely professionally put together, and it’s jam-packed with valuable ideas. Even for someone like me, after doing this for more than four years, I always get incredible insights and new strategies from Chris.
Chris delivers on the promises he makes, giving both the broad mindset you need and the specific tactics to lead you to success.
I’d recommend this book to anyone who’s getting started online and not sure where to begin, or to anyone who’s already running their own small online business. Even if you’re just looking for alternatives (or supplements) to your full-time job, the guide is a must-read.
Why you should buy the Unconventional Guide to Working for Yourself
Chris even offers a 365-day guarantee that if you don’t make at least an extra $200 a month within 60 days after reading this guide, you get your money back. It’s up to you to get everything you can out of this report and put it into practice, but if you take action and find that everything Chris taught you is bullshit, you get your investment back, no questions asked.
Are you ready to start your own income streams on the side? Ready to start working for yourself? To be your own master, and buy back your own time?
