Good Readings For Internet Marketers
Internet Marketing is very popular in the English speaking countries. There are 1000s of books available in English. You can get them as “real” books but also even more as eBooks. And some of them are really good. Personally, I love reading eBooks on my Kindle or iPad but I also have printed PDFs I bought so I could read them on the sofa. Here are some of my favorite books. I’ve chosen those books which helped me a lot when I started working online. I really hope you’ll enjoy them, too. I give you a short introduction and let you know what you find in these books.
The $100 Startup: Reinvent the Way You Make a Living
If you need any further motivation to start your online business, you’ll love this book. Chris Guillebeau is still in his early 30s and travels the world – working from where he loves to work. He never had a “real” job and makes as many others a living working online. In his book, he has identified 1,500 individuals earning $50,000 plus every year from an investment as small as $100. In nearly all cases these businessmen and women has no special skills but monetized their passion – and make a nice living from it today enjoying a richer and more fulfilled life. A really good read where you get the feeling: I can do that, too!
Problogger: Secrets for Blogging Your Way to a Six-Figure Income
Darren Rowse started his blog as we all did – simply by writing and working hard on articles without knowing if that will ever lead to an income. Today he has not just Problogger.net but also digital-photography-school and he and his family can live very well from the money he makes. In his book, Problogger, he and Chris Garrett talk about the “Secrets” for Blogging your Way to a Six-Figure Income. In the book the guys help you to choose a topic, analyze the market, set up a blog and promote it. All in all you won’t find the big secrets – just plain business advice and that is what we actually need: People who have already archived what we want to archive giving honest advice. So this book is in my bookshelf and I look at it again and again. So this book is definitely an investment.

But if you want to learn some proven ways to earn a few $100 extra – you are at the right place. Even Timothy Ferris, who wrote the 4-Hour-WorkWeek, loves Yanik’s book. It fits to his lifestyle: Making money with not too much effort once the system is set up and in place.
Crush It!: Why Now Is The Time to Cash In on Your Passion
If you have a hobby,you wish you’d do all day, or an obsession, which keeps you up at night, it’s time for you to monetize it and make a living from what you love. Nobody ever said that we are not allowed to love our work. We all have grown up with pieces of wisdom in mind such as “Business before pleasure”. But hey, can’t our business be our pleasure? According to Gary Vaynerchuk it can. And yes, we couldn’t agree more.
This book is a fantastic must-have read.
And last but not least a real classic

Hi Monja,
Great list – just added a couple to my GoodReads account. I have read $100 startup. It’s one of my favorite books because it motivates the heck out of you to get up and start doing something!
Hi Michael,
Thanks a lot for your comment and glad you like the list. And YES, the $100 Startup is also one of my favorites – it is simply so motivating that you can’t help yourself but start working.
Hi Monja, great list of books to get a person motivated to begin their own marketing business. I think that a lot of people have trouble with marketing due to mindset. If they have the right motivation and mindset then I think that people will be more successful.
Lulu,
Thanks for your comment – I absolutely agree. That’s the problem with working online. And that’s one reason why we founded the site here – to have people who really want to learn something but sometimes – as all humans do – need a kick in the butt 😉 I don’t mind to kick but I need it as well by times 😉
