Book Review: Passive Income: How to Make Money from Home, Skyrocket your Income at Lightning Speed

I tend to read a large number of entrepreneur-related books. Some are better than others. I almost didn’t get a copy of  Passive Income: How to Make Money from Home, Skyrocket your Income at Lightning Speed as the title pretty much put me off as it sounded so cheesy, but for some reason I did listen to the audiobook.

I also don’t normally write reviews for books that I really don’t like. I didn’t like this book.

It’s interesting that the top review from US Amazon is titled “Worthless nonsense” and commented that there’s nothing to learn in this book. It’s all been written elsewhere, and better.

But I had a feeling that this book might split the potential audiences. And right on cue, there are many reviews saying how great it is, and how it was almost life-changing for some.

If you really, really haven’t got any ideas on how to earn a passive income from home (and I have people I know in this category), this book might work for you. But for anyone else, it’s a solid pass. I found it endlessly overstated what seemed to be just patently obvious.

The Verdict?

For me, 1 out of 10. For someone just starting to think about how they might make an income from home, and haven’t yet done any real reading, perhaps 4 out of 10.
