The how-to info on the ideas indicated are not practical. Methods are outdated. Not much useful info.
Fantastic book January 1, 2008
At the start of the book, the author suggests that, "this book is worth 10,000$". Well I think its definitely worth atleast a 1000$...o.k. perhaps even 10,000$!. This book is full of implementable ideas, no fluff, and also has an extensive list of contacts and sources to implement the ideas. It is these sources, which are worth the price of the book.
Read this book only if you want to be successful! December 16, 2007

Do you want to be successful? Read this book.
I have been a CPA for over 25 years and so many clients have a great product, but fail because they don't know how to get it to the marketplace and actually make money with it.
I recommend this book to business owners that don't want to learn from the School of Hard Knocks, (which may be too late) but want to stimulate their minds and actually figure out what opportunities would sell their products.
Dan Kennedy knows his stuff!
But getting your product to market and selling it is just part of the business, you need to have systems in place and deliver your product and stay in business. I am the author of Turning Your Dream Business Into Your Bread & Butter: Recipes for Running a Successful Business from Scratch and this book has over 500 strategies, in an easy to read format, to help the business owner be successful and stay in business. It is a desk reference that can be used to start your business or be pulled down off the shelf when you have business challenge and want to look up how to fix it.
So after reading How to Make Millions with Your Ideas: An Entrepreneur's Guide, you need to read Turning Your Dream Business Into Your Bread & Butter: Recipes for Running a Successful Business from Scratch, the two together will take your business to the next level and keep it there.

Three books for inspiration:
1. How To Make Millions With Your Ideas. This book has in spades the reason I read books--street smarts that apply to my own life. Dan Kennedy pulls together in this 1996 book wonderful stories from his long experience of writing and business consulting. He has been writing for a long time, holding seminars and workshops and has a myriad of products for sale. His real life examples of people building businesses is inspiring and they are full of truths that are applicable to one's own ideas. I will keep it in my library for referral for whenever I get tired of being entrepreneurial and need some inspiration.
2. The Monk and the Riddle: The Art of Creating a Life While Making a Living The Art of Creating a Life While Making a Living, by Randy Komisar. Komisar's book goes beyond the commercialism of infomercial marketing and talks not only about building a business, but balancing that business with one's life. Don't start a business for the sole purpose of making money, but also build it for a 'soul' purpose. Find something that stirs your passions and makes your life worth living, do something that you can throw yourself into.
Kennedy's book is packed with marketing ideas. Komisar's book continues that plus gives an inspirational message for finding meaning, but neither addresses today's world of online business.
3. That brings us to: Internet Riches: The Simple Money-making Secrets of Online Millionaires by Scott Fox.
Where are the real world opportunities today for making money and building a life? Despite its title Fox's book is not only about becoming a millionaire but is a depository of ideas for building a meaningful business. Not a get rich quick scheme but solid practical advice for anyone who is intrigued by the possibilities of the Internet.
It is packed with real life examples of web success stories and strategies, a useful book that can teach anyone how to get their share of this new marketplace.
I'd say to read all three: Kennedy for helping flesh out ideas, Komisar's to put meaning into those ideas and Fox's for bringing those ideas into today's world of e-biz reality.
