InBubbleWrap

I discovered this website several months ago and have enjoyed entering their special offers on almost a daily basis. Each week day they announce an offer for a free business related book. All that is required of you is to create an account and answer two silly/nonsense questions for each offer. For instance, todays questions are:

Who the frick ate my frack?

Why wouldn’t the goblin gobble the gobstopper?

If the “InBubbleWrap Guy” chooses your entry, you receive the book of the day free of charge (free shipping as well). I have received 4 books over the course of 5 months. Books like - Chasing Daylight by Gene O’Kelly, Change Function by Pip Coburn and Treasure Hunt by Michael J. Silverstein and John Butman. Now all I have to do is set some time aside and read them.

I would highly recommend checking out the site. It only takes a few moments of your time to enter the offer of the day and you could receive a great book for your trouble. You can either sign-up for the offer of the day via email or set up your feed reader for their RSS feed. Check out their FAQ page for more info. - http://www.inbubblewrap.com/faq.php

Review: I enjoyed reading this book. My initial fear was that it was another shallow get rich quick book, but I found that not to be the case. It helped get my creative juices flowing about other ways to make a living. I appreciated the real world examples he uses throughout the book to convey the vast number of opportunities that are available to make money online. It kept me engaged and allowed me to identify whether his ideas would fit my life.

I have a background in web development and software sales, so the sections about how to choose a domain name, build a website and other web related services were not of great interest to me. However, I can see how they would be of value to someone that has had little exposure to the internet and or software. The only criticism is the marketing section is a little thin. But, then again, there are plenty of books that delve into that subject in great detail.

This book inspired me to take the plunge in areas I had not thought of before.
