Topic:
Business that runs on autopilot that makes you money 24/7
Value for money: 4.9/5
Overall value: 4.8/5
Number of pages: audio/video based

Initially, I was skeptical because the front page was not particularly well laid out and the first thing you see after purchasing the product is an offer to sell the product before you’ve even read it yourself. The print actually starts off with an offer to start promoting his e-book and make $20 a sale!

However, after patiently listening through all of the audio/video I was pleasantly surprised. Some of the commentary was a little verbose at times, but overall it went at a good pace so it wasn’t too hard to digest the content.

I had already heard much of what was covered, but there was a lot of new, very good information which I will certainly use. I was certainly inspired to start making my own e-book after reading this.
