About this audiobook
The new American Dream is doing work you love with the freedom and income to live the life you want. Thanks to the Internet, anyone can launch a business with little or no start-up capital or technical expertise.
The rules have changed. The American Dream is no longer the "corner office." It's a successful lifestyle business you can run from your home, the beach, or wherever you desire. In this book, lifestyle entrepreneurship expert Scott Fox teaches weary corporate warriors and aspiring entrepreneurs how to trade the 9-5 job they hate for an online business they love.
This guide explains how to combine outsourcing, software, and automated online marketing to build recurring revenues, all while working less and making fewer lifestyle compromises that corporate "success" requires.
In Click Millionaires, you will learn how to:
- find a lucrative niche on the Internet that matches your interests and skills;
- choose an online business model: from blogs, online communities, digital delivery, online services, affiliate marketing and even physical products;
- position yourself as an expert;
- build your audience;
- design the lifestyle you want;
- and balance passion and profits to realize their personal definition of success.
Featuring stories of dozens of "regular folks" who have reinvented themselves as "Click Millionaires", this inspiring and practical guide shows you how to stop dreaming of a better life and start living it!

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Good naration, but High-school level audiobook. Don't recommend it to adults.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Imagine having a work life balance, it's hard isn't it. Mr.Fox leads the reader through the discovereries of digital business building. One that does not require venture capital or maximizing profits. There is a way to work in a field you like, one you can be happy in, with less stress, less politics, where you make your own schedule. Follow your interests, instead of following upper management. You can do it, and you don't have to give up you hobbies and dreams you allow them to lead you to income.
I am a reader, a hobbyist, a searcher of knowledge. This is one of the requirements he has listed. Do you like to participate in blogs, websites, podcasts etc ? I do this every time I get online. I could use this time to invest in a future that looks better than the 9-5 drudgery of the norm. For me, that alone sold this book for me.
The books was a fascinating tour through who I am and where my talents/interests are. There are many exercises to work through defining what direction might work best for the individual. I recommend this to anyone that dose not feel the need to rush, watch the clock, listen to office politics, work long hours, miss out on family time. - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The trouble with the rat race is that even if you win, you’re still a rat.
—Lily Tomlin, actress and comedienne
This is how this book begins… This book, very similar to The $100 Startup or the 4-Hour Work Week, but not quite as practical or useful. The author wanted to help you design a lifestyle business, something that works around your life style, instead of profit and growth. The kind of business, web-based, that works around you at your convenience, instead of inside a large corporation with a 9 to 5 schedule. He calls his model “Click Millionaire”, in which your business uses websites, e-commerce, digital publishing and social media to make money supporting your free life style.
The book is divided into 7 parts. The first 1/3 is basically all the reasons to get you out of your present “rat race”. The chapters were a bit redundant and full of fillers, but the theme was to tell you that you are now working to help other people, aka “your boss” to make money, which is a waste of your time and effort, so your life needs a big make-over. It’s a bit ironic that every chapter of the book ends with a link to the author’s “Click Millionaire” website, so indirectly, all readers of this book are making money for the author’s online business.
The rest of the book is a bit more useful. The author talked about creating websites, writing blogs, advertising, increasing traffic, as well as freelancing. According to his logic. People with special skills can achieve the lifestyle easier by serving a niche of the market, but normal people who know nothing do not need to despair, either. Everything you need is on his Click Millionaire website. You just have to have the right mentality and a good plan.
I’ll say this book is a bit more bluff than practical, but for desperate people who needs to make money utilizing the web. It might not hurt to give this a look, just be prepared that you’ll need the author's consultation service to proceed further…
