I was given this book as a gift and made it to about page 20, at which point I threw it in my recycling bin.
I’m sure there is valuable information to be found in the book somewhere, but the quality of binding is so exceptionally poor that it was a pain to read even before the pages start falling out.
It is great that Mr. Bly makes over $100k a year, though disappointing that at this point in his career he is cutting corners to up profits by self-publishing such an utter rip-off.

Bob Bly’s books are a godsend. They are easy to follow and honest about the business. A must have.

I have owned or bought most of Bob Bly’s books over the years. They are well written, interesting reading and enticements of fortune are good ego boosters. But don’t bank on making $100,000 a year without heavy duty college and extensive experience. In which case you wouldn’t be buying a book like this to begin with. Save your money for college.

Maury Erickson of Filbert Publishing here. I’m one of the people who published this book.
I thought I’d take a moment to reply to a couple comments on this Amazon page.
Yes. I totally agree. In the beginning of our publishing history, we dealt with some definite quality control issues. Thing is, we were hoping to create an earth-friendly product made by local talent. Clearly, that vision didn’t work well in the long run. Suffice it to say that we’re now printing this title elsewhere and the finished product looks fantastic.
Bob Bly is one of the most generous individuals we’ve ever dealt with. He’s as nice in person as he appears in his books. The information he provides honestly works. You don’t need a big-time education. You don’t need to be blessed by luck. Just a little elbow grease and know-how will take you very far in the freelance writing profession. Just ask my wife. She’s a Bly fan and is currently reaping the benefits.
I appreciate your comments and wish all of you the very best in your freelance endeavors.
