What is "Make Easy Money with Google" about anyhow?

With a title like “Make Easy Money with Google: Using the AdSense Advertising Program“, you might be forgiven if you think one of two things about this book:

• It's yet another “get-rich-quick” book
• It's a book about “AdSense secrets”

Actually, it's neither! You can get a better feel for what the book's about by reading the full description on the companion site. Yes, it's definitely an AdSense book. Yes, it describes how to make money with AdSense. But it's also a book that describes how the Web works, how to create Web pages, how to register a domain name, how to build a Web site or blog. How to do all of that when you're not a technical person. Check out the reviews on Amazon.com to see what I mean. Yes, there are a couple of negative reviews there, but obviously that's because they bought a book that they were expecting to be full of little-known AdSense “secrets”. Well, let me tell you a secret: I don't think there are any real AdSense “secrets”. Google provides extensive documentation on their program, and many people out there have explored the ins and outs of the system and laid it all bare for others to see.

What's been missing, though, and this is why I wrote the book, is a way for average non-technical computer users — in other words, non-geeks — to get in on the action, so to speak. The underlying concepts of the World Wide Web are not complicated. You can easily create Web pages with tools that are just as simple as word processors. Having a blog simplifies the whole process even more. But many people think it's complicated. They're the ones that need to read my book!

So, whether you're a retiree, a homemaker, a student, or just someone with some spare time (because that's really the biggest “secret”: it takes time, not money, to build a money-making blog or Web site), Make Easy Money with Google is a great book for learning about how the Web works, how advertising drives much of its growth, and how you can participate in that growth and make yourself a bit (or maybe a lot — hey, think big!) of money doing it. And with a list price of only $24.99, it certainly doesn't require a huge investment on your part. And it's a fun read!

And for those of you who've already purchased the book, don't forget to keep coming back and checking the Make Easy Money with Google blog on the companion site for updates and additions to the content of the book.
