Amazon.com Review:
After penning three popular Neatest Little Guides that deliver helpful information on investing and personal finance in user-friendly terms, Jason Kelly has moved away from personal money management with The Neatest Little Guide to Making Money Online. But, as he explains from the outset, in reality this is merely an offshoot of his previous books, because it focuses on "a new way to make additional money so that you actually have something left to manage after the bills have been paid." Those who have a worthwhile product to sell or service to provide--and who fully understand that no advice, no matter how clear and insightful, can ever guarantee success on the Net--will find it as comprehensive and useful as Kelly's earlier efforts. Under the "Getting Online Can Boost Your Bottom Line" mantra, it addresses every step, from the preliminary (buying the right computer, selecting the proper Web-hosting company, building and tracking your site) to the advanced (getting listed with top search engines, encouraging visitors to make your site their home page, using autoresponders to close sales), involved in making "your site the best it can be." --Howard Rothman

Steer Clear of This Junk:
The Jason Kelly "Neatest Little Guide" franchise of books is sometimes inspired, and sometimes he just "phones it in". This book is an example of Kelly "phoning it in". Even absolute internet beginners will be scratching their heads over why there's a chapter devoted to "How to Buy a Computer". Obviously someone interested in making a website already has a computer. We're talking extreme basics here folks, and unless you've been dwelling in a cave for the last decade, you'll probably view most of this book as common sense. Sporting a 15 dollar price tag just reinforces the fact that everyone should steer clear of this book and buy their favorite CD instead.

The Neatest Book I've Read in a While:
Jason Kelly's book The Neatest Little Guide to Making Money Online has been an invaluable asset to helping me to start my own on-line business. I had been wanting to have my own business for several years and didn't know where to start. Coming across his guide in a local bookstore was a stroke of luck. Here was a way to start a business almost risk free cost-wise, and it was also dependent on no one but myself. The book is geared to different levels of computer knowledge from the very beginner, to those who have some knowledge in certain areas like myself. I was able to read the intro and first chapter, skip the part about buying a computer and dive right into the software bit. Now I have a web site geared to something that I love making (Caesar Salad), and I get to use my artistic talents that I haven't known what to do with for so many years. I continually refer back to Mr. Kelly's book as a guide to see what I have to do next. I have followed his advice as to free services that have helped me to become listed with search engines and directories. Now I just have to wait and see what happens (and update my site of course). And if nothing happens it's okay because my investment has been very low-just a few dollars per month. A "neat little guide" indeed.

Great Value For The Money:
Succinct, informative, and well-written, The Neatest Little Guide To Making Money Online is a great value. Admittedly, I am a novice at making money online, but in my opinion this book is a great starting place. Jason Kelly loads this book with well-researched resources for all aspects of successful website development, almost always suggesting reliable FREE alternatives to the pay-for-service resources on the net. It is fun and easy to read, and it contains no filler. Recommended.

GOOD PRIMER BOOK FOR MAKING MONEY ONLINE:
Jason's book is a good primer for making money on the Web. It covers all the basics in a very clear way. The links to on line sites he lists are also a great help to beginners. You can spend weeks or months on the web searching for the "help" and"information" sites he lists. By using all of his tips and those you pick up from the sites he suggests you visit you will make money, not a fortune perhaps but as he states it will help to pay off the car or house.A good little book well worth the money.
