Reviews of New Path to Riches.

Jan 14, 2010. Terry Dean, Internet Business Coaching.

“New Path to Riches is an excellent book for people who want to create a part-time or full-time income on the internet.  Nick Usborne lays out a simple path with a direct example from one of his own profitable sites (his example shows what most would consider a hobby website which produces a good income for him each month).  He gives a specific roadmap to online profits without all the hype and huge promises often given on this topic.  I highly recommend the book not just for the content, but also because of the true expectations he gives to the reader.  Any writer or content producer can follow this plan.”

Jan 12th, 2010. Victoria Ipri, The Confident Copywriter

“Why is it so important that you read this book? Whether you are highly experienced in copywriting and Internet marketing or just getting started, Usborne begins at the beginning, and really lays out the steps one by one. By the time you finish the book, you will know exactly how to find success on the Internet. Or, if you’re already doing lots of things to promote yourself online, this book will tell you where to patch the holes. So, it’s great for everyone. I so wish this had been available when I started out 4 years ago. It would have saved me many sleepless nights.”

Jan 1, 2010. Peter Bowerman, Author of The Well-Fed Writer series.

“While freelancing can be a constant “where’s-my-next-gig-coming-from?” grind, and ’secure’ 9-5 employment is anything but, smart folk lay the groundwork for that magical phenomenon known as ‘passive income.’ In this comprehensive, readable work, Usborne proves he’s one of the smart ones, laying out a detailed and proven blueprint for capitalizing on the dizzying technological breakthroughs of our age to turn your after-hours passions into steady cash. My own vague ideas now have a focus AND an engine.”

“As a small business owner working from home, there are times when business slows down (not often, but it does happen). I wanted to find another way to produce income during those times, and have it also be something I love already – researching, writing, and providing information. Purchasing New Path to Riches by Nick Usborne was genius.

Nick Usborne simplifies the money-making website concept with his guide, New Path to Riches. With the economy creating new entrepreneurs by the hundreds, we brave souls who look to find additional income streams to fish from want to have the shortest distance to success. Not get-rich-quick, just additional income by putting forth a little effort. And a fail-safe plan doesn’t hurt either.

In New Path, I had ideas jumping out at me before I hit the halfway point. And by the end, I knew the exact steps to take to begin making money from websites. Nick has been making money for years, and using his approach, the only way I can fail is by not doing anything with this knowledge.”

Dec 16, 2009. Rita Jones, a happy reader.

“If I had to rate your book from 1 to 10 with 10 being the highest, it would be a 15. From a non-technical person perspective it was very clear and concise. You delved into the subject of how to pick and idea for a website in a very through way and I feel I am closer to getting started and having the confidence to see this project through. I enjoy and have benefited from all of the material you have written.”

Dec 12, 2009. Dr. Ralph Wilson, Web Marketing Today.

“Usborne writes extremely well. He’s easy to read, clear about how to approach this, honest about the possible results, and encouraging to people who are desperately trying to find a way to earn money via the Internet. I like the book. I strongly recommend New Path to Riches for individuals who want to begin developing modest revenue streams on the Internet.”

“I picked up Nick Usborne’s “New Path To Riches” out of loyalty to Nick – a fellow copywriter.  When I closed the last page I was hooked on the concept of creating a money-making website that’ll ease my retirement years.  Nick doesn’t claim it is effortless at the beginning of the process.  He doesn’t promise you’ll become an instant millionaire.  What he does promise, in easy to understand phrases for a Luddite like me, is a fun way to turn a hobby, a passion, or just an interest, into a stream of steady money that will help pay my bills for years to come.”

Nov 13, 2009. Marcia Yudkin, Author of 6 Steps to Free Publicity and 10 other books.

“Nick Usborne argues convincingly that to earn money online, you don’t need  world-class knowledge;  you can easily be the expert next door.  He explains which kinds of positioning persuade people to open their wallets and how to take the right tone for success.  His book is logically organized, full of  interesting examples and highly recommended for anyone curious about making  money on the Internet.” -

Awesome book! I’m planning to make it my x-mas gift this year to my friends.

Everyone I know could use a little extra money every month. And this book gives them the blueprint to do just that.

Nick explains exactly what he did to turn a simple website on coffee into a $50K a year revenue stream, and shows readers how they can do it too, on any topic they’re interested in.

I love the overall idea – probably because it’s the polar opposite of most books on internet opportunities out there (and I’ve read a bunch!). It’s not about using the internet to get rich quick. It’s about using it to create an asset that provides a steady income that you can count on.

“In this brilliant book, Nick Usborne lays out a proven path to passive income with niche websites.  His chapter on how to make readers like you is solid gold and worth 100 times the cost of the book. You really can do this and Nick’s book is your perfect roadmap.”

This little book is just fantastic! It has completely opened my eyes to the huge opportunity that lies in creating income-generating websites about topics I’m already passionate about. In fact, it has enabled me to pinpoint why one of my websites has always struggled to make money. Using Nick’s ideas and strategies from this book, I will soon be reworking my entire strategy and approach with that site.

If this economic downturn has taught us anything it’s that depending on just one source of income (your employer) is foolish. In this book, Nick shows you how to develop a passive income stream that will help you diversify how you earn a living, giving you more freedom, choices and peace of mind.

Nick makes a convincing case for why you don’t have to be a qualified expert in a particular topic to earn a nice passive income from a website. He explains, in great detail, why people don’t just want to learn from pros. And why they often prefer to learn (and buy) from other regular folks who share their passion. In other words…you and me!

I also applaud Nick for steering clear of all the hype surrounding making money online. He paints a very realistic picture of the opportunity — stressing the fact that time, effort and passion for the subject are the biggest ingredients necessary for success. Just as important, he practices what he preaches. All of his advice is based on his in-the-trenches experience building and growing money-making websites.

Overall, this is a wonderful book. I have marked more than a dozen pages containing great ideas and action items. And I can’t wait to put them into practice!

“I recommend Nick Usborne’s New Path to Riches for many reasons, but — most important — I respect its realism and restraint.

For too long, the majority of books about Internet marketing have included the word “millionaire” in their title. Nick’s book, however, makes no such claims.

Instead, it describes how he created a part-time, “enthusiast” site that earns him $4,000 a month in passive, or residual, income. This is a far more realistic approach that doesn’t oversell prospective readers.

What I especially like is the fact that he balances the success that he’s achieving with his www.coffeedetective.com site, with his admission that online success can never be “guaranteed”–that his success with the coffee site is balanced by other sites that don’t produce as much income for him each month.

The above level of candor, alone, puts Nick Usborne’s New Path to Riches in a class of its own.

In the book’s 9 chapters, Nick provides an overview of the basics of online marketing–and the revolution that Google has created–with enough details to substantiate his claims. His arguments about the inability of traditional media to properly serve niche markets is especially strong. His example of the “garden bridge” website does the best job of driving home the power of the Internet to allow individuals to profit from under-served niche markets of any I’ve seen.

I left New Path to Riches with a new enthusiasm for rethinking some of my previous “too crazy to try” web marketing ideas and a desire to reposition some of my current websites to do a better job of appealing to fewer visitors.

Definitely worth buying if you’re considering developing one, or more, niche websites to smooth out your monthly cashflow with minimum risk.”

“A lot of people talk about making money on the web, but only a relatively small number actually do it, and Nick is one of them. A lot of people publish their writings online, but only a small percentage of them actually make a profit from it, and Nick is one of them. In this book, he reveals a specific and proven model for making money on the web with your writing. It is different than the method I use and teach, and it works. Get the book, read it, learn it, do it.”
