1 out of 5 stars What money???.......2007-09-18

I signed up for the survey sites and so far I have only gotten worthless sweepstake entries. I have been on for a month. I thought secret shopping would be interesting but its not. A few of the companies listed are no longer around. I do not want to do secret shopping in the restaraunt feild and that is all that is available in her book.

This book does have many money saving ideas but it will cost you your time. Time vs Money?? Sometimes its just not worth it.

It does have tips on how to sell things online. But who does not know how to use Ebay????

2 out of 5 stars Nothing new and/or exciting................2006-07-21

Good reference for someone just starting out.......but is not a definite "must have." You can spend very little time on the internet to find the same and MUCH MORE information for free. I was very disappointed to learn I had already signed up for the same sites mentioned in the book and have been a member for at least 5-6 years on those sites.

3 out of 5 stars Good on saving resources, not so much on earning.......2006-07-16

I have been making money online since 1998 and am always checking out resources to help me make more. The Mom's Guide to Earning and Saving Thousands on the Internet offers some terrific savings ideas and resources in one place. It's especially helpful for busy moms who don't have time to research and investigate resources themselves.

I was very intersted in the earning aspect especially since it covered surveys and mystery shopping. I still don't feel this is a great way to earn income from home. I have tested many survey sites and have yet to get paid by the legitimate ones. Turns out I don't qualify for most surveys I'm sent. (I'm a 40 year old mom of two, married who owns a home...). I've gotten a free lunch with mystery shopping, but that won't pay the mortgage.

If you are looking for great resources and ideas to save money using the Internet, this is a good resource. But if you want to make money, this isn't your book.

4 out of 5 stars The Mom's Guide to Earning and Saving Thousands on the Internet.......2006-03-26

This book is a great resource for oodles of websites for almost everything. Over the last few years I have spent a lot of time on the internet and already am aware of most of the content offered, but there was lots of stuff that was new to me as well. I was hoping for a little more on the earning 'thousands'aspect, but I think that is in part due to limitations on what is available on the internet. Of course, it also depends on how much time you are willing to spend doing these things. Overall, I thought this was a great comprehensive guide to anyone who uses the internet, not just moms.






4 out of 5 stars They showed me the money! .......2006-03-09

I found this book listed in an article and it really caught my attention. I'm a part-time working mom but it never seems to give our budget enough boost. This book gave me such much needed information and insightful advice on how to change that without having to work more hours away from home.

I felt like the authors spoke directly to me and had been there, done that. Some of the topics I was familiar with, but there's a lot I didn't know along with a very organized approach on how I could make this work for me and my individual circumstances. This book hasn't moved from it's place next to my computer and I find myself consulting it almost on a daily basis.

So far, the earnings are adding up quickly (nice to have pin money in my pocket again!) but the real surprise is all the savings I never quite managed to put together in this way that the guide teaches.

All in all, it's a great little book and perfect for those struggling to make ends meet. Thumbs up from me!

3 out of 5 stars Some good info, but wordy and self-serving.......2003-09-02

You have to keep in mind that this is written by a real estate agent, so he really has an agent's best interests in mind, not yours as a buyer or seller. That said, the book does contain a complete survey of buying/selling homes (mostly buying, actually), assisted by online websites. I found the text too verbose, and I wonder if the publisher or author gets paid for the sites they recommend, for a lot of other useful sites aren't mentioned at all.

5 out of 5 stars Next best thing to a self-explanatory Realtor!.......2001-08-10

Over a year ago I borrowed this book from a friend, and read through it during the entire process of my first purchase of a house. It helped very easily to follow all that was happening, all the terminology, etc. and in some cases, to be ahead, and expect the next steps.

It was so helpful, that I decided to buy it for myself this year, as we're considering the sale of our place, and getting us a larger house.

If you're going to buy or sell a house, you have got to read it: it'll be of extreme help.

5 out of 5 stars made my life so much easier.......2000-06-16

This book made my life so much easier by explaining in easy to follow steps how to do everything i needed to sell homes and purchase a new one. It is very thorough, covers all topics from A to z and the recommendations on web sites were right on. The author knows his stuff. This is the first Idiot's Guide book I've bought and I'm so glad i did.

5 out of 5 stars Top Notch Book.......2000-06-15

I got this book for my dad for Father's Day because he and my mother are planning on selling their home and buying a smaller home. the For Sale By Owner comments in some of the other reviews caught my eye because my parents want to sell their home themselves. I started looking through the guide out of curiosity and found myself reading more than half the book. Besides being informative and detailed, it's actually interesting and somewhat funny. i ended up giving it to my father early and he read the entire guide in two days. he said it was the first time he's ever read a how-to book from cover to cover and he's bought over 50! i recommend this book to all people who are planning on buying and selling a home in the future (which is just about everybody) because it is exceptionally clear, informative and jam-packed with advice, facts and data. And it makes a great gift. My dad loved it and is using it to get their home ready to sell By Owner.

5 out of 5 stars superb book-saved the day.......2000-06-06

I had to take the time to review this book because my husband and I almost lost our dream home. This superb book helped us save our transaction at the last minute and avoid a horrible lawsuit. Thank God a friend referred us to this book or we wouldn't be living in the perfect home for us. We were buying a home For Sale By Owner and were working with the most difficult seller imaginable. With the help of this guide we not only salvaged the deal, but got better terms and more repairs made to the home. Thank you so much to the author and publisher for writing this book-it's phenomenal. The negotiating chapter is worth thousands of dollars. And to all those buying or selling homes By Owner or even with Realtors-don't do anything until you buy this book. You will be so glad you did.

5 out of 5 stars How and where to locate merchandise to sell on e-bay.......2007-09-26

This book was jammed full of great tips for the e-bay seller on where to buy, what to buy, what not to buy, niche markets, trends, and business relationships. The authors have included invaluable hints on pricing formula. Other concepts of the trade including drop shipping and consignment were also covered. There was also a fantastic merchandise directory, which in itself would probably cover the cost of the book. The glossary of terms would also be very informative for those just starting out in the business.

A great buy for those beginning in E-Bay selling. Highly recommended also for those who need to improve their E-Bay trade.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars On target info for perspective home buyers........2007-01-10

Johnson's attempt to educate perspective home buyers on the use of the Internet to find homes and mortgages is a "must read" for home buyers.
It seems to give the home buyer control over most aspects of his/her "dreamquest." It is a "do it yourself" demostration, a "problem solving aid" which equips the reader with some of the tools necessary to get the job done. The potential careful reader quicky discovers that the Internet can ease or solve most problems dealing with the purchase of a home!

5 out of 5 stars What You Don't Know Will Hurt You!.......2000-12-18

Having purchased two previous homes, I thought I knew all there is to know: you call up a realtor who takes you around to see houses and you pick from a 30-year or a 15-year fixed rate mortgage. Wow! Was I wrong! Thanks to Randy Johnson's latest book on using the internet to find a home and get a mortgage, I now know that there are many types of mortgages available, many of them better- tailored to most people's needs than the two I've already named. I've learned the difference between a "mortgage banker" and a "mortgage broker" and that I may save thousands of dollars by using the services of an Upfront Mortgage Broker, one who agrees to sign a pledge to act in the best interests of the customer. I now know about the advantages of automated underwriting and the difference between rate versus fee when shopping for a mortgage. Imagine my astonishment to learn that paying points for a lower rate is a good strategy that may save me thousands of dollars in the long run! The author has made a highly technical subject easy to understand through charts and personal examples. I now have access to scores of helpful internet sites and forms to download. True to the book's title, I have shopped for a home in another state, qualified for a loan and am about to obtain a mortgage, all while sitting in front of my computer! If you, too, want to SHOP SMART for a home or mortgage, this is the book for you.

Book Description

Sams Teach Yourself e-Real Estate Today is an easy and efficient way to access the vast amount of real estate information available on the Internet. This book not only teaches you how to find and buy a home online, it also guides you through the largely unorganized, confusing and bewildering mortgage marketplace. Four major sections divide the book into logical portions of the topic. Part I focuses on the process of buying a home. Part II addresses the selling of a home. Part III teaches you how to finance a home online. Finally, Part IV provides information that is specific to real estate investors.

5 out of 5 stars Great reference to go along with internet surfing.......2000-12-27

This is a great book with many very up to date links that can compliment your real estate purchasing along with using the internet.

He goes through which search engines are best to get to a very specific target as well as many online mortgage sites; bank sites. He goes into all aspects of buying "distressed property" which is something that we specialize in, so we found this a very good book.

1 out of 5 stars Teach yourself how not to waste money on worthless books........2000-03-24

Not only did I waste money on this worthless book, I wasted a fortune on trying to sell my home using the advise of this guy. By the time I'm done, what little profit I made will surely go to my attorney to keep the buyers of my home off my back.

5 out of 5 stars Teach yourself all about real estate on the Internet.......2000-03-13

Robert Bruss, a Bay Area lawyer and real estate broker, has written a review of this book that appeared 3/11/2000 in the San Jose Mercury News. Excerpts of his review follow:

...one of those rare real estate books that cannot be recommended to highly. Before you buy, sell, finance, auction or invest in real estate, check out the Web sites evaluated by this book. Readers who are not internet savy will quickly feel at home with this book with emphasis on Web site locations and attributes, not computer technicalities. Every homewoner, buyer, real estate investor and agent should have a copy of this book on their desks for easy reference, right next to their computers. That's where I keep mine. On a scale of 1 to 10, this superb book rates an off the chart 14, the highest rating I've ever given to a real estate book.

2 out of 5 stars Not as I expected.......2006-06-06

I am in the process of decorating my new apartment and thought this book would be a great idea. Not only are the photos of poor quality but the so-called decor is awful. I do not recommend this book for anyone who wishes to decorate stylishly. Also, the book is not that informative about buying on eBay.

5 out of 5 stars Transform Your Home with a Click of the Mouse.......2005-11-24

I love browsing on eBay, but hadn't thought about using it in my decorating efforts. This book opens your eyes to the wealth of objects (often one-of-a-kind) on the auction site that you can use to transform your home.
For beginning eBay users, the book covers registration and tips for browsing and buying so you get the most for your money. It includes a buyers guide with lists of power sellers and the types of things you can count on them to offer. This is reassuring if you are nervous about making your first purchases.
Anyway, this book is a great alternative to searching flea markets and estate sales looking for great deals for your home.

5 out of 5 stars Awesome book!.......2005-10-18

Just like stumbling across a treasure on ebay, I happened to see this book at a bookstore and immediately took the "buy now" option. I absolutely love this book! It has great photos; they look like real rooms from real homes - not stuffy staged shots. I have bought a few things off of ebay but I really didn't know the extent of the home décor items available. This book list "power sellers" whom have good ratings and sell great home decorating items. This book addresses shipping issues, relevant decorating tips, and do-it-yourself projects. I highly recommend this book.

Book Description

The Internet is an invaluable tool when you're buying or selling a home -- if you know what to look for and where. "homesurfing.net" helps you save time and money by not only pinpointing the best real estate sites on the Web, but also by providing the basic information every home buyer or seller should know.

Much more than a guide for shopping for homes and loans on the Internet, "homesurfing.net" also:

Provides an insider's look into how the real estate industry works.

Shows how to use the Internet to your advantage.

Targets the best sites for home searches, and how to bargain hunt.

Navigates through the online mortgage maze.

Takes you step-by-step through the buying and selling processes.

5 out of 5 stars The best way to sell or buy a home in 2000 and beyond.......1999-11-28

This book is going to help shape the Real Estate Market into a new level of knowledge and understanding.

5 out of 5 stars TWO "CLICKS" WAY WAY UP! :-).......1999-11-23

Ms. Evans has scored big with this phenomenal book. As a Realtor who does the majority of my business off the Internet, I am going to enthusiastically recommend this guide to all of my Internet clients. There is great information contained on every page... info that every person potentially looking to relocate should gather and digest. Somewhat selfishly, I must say that Ms. Evans does do a good job crediting Realtors, unlike most books which portray ALL agents as salespeople "just out for the sale". She emphasizes that people SHOULD select a Real Estate Consultant to assist in the home search and relocation process.

Kudos to Ms. Evans for writing a book that consumers AND their Realtors can read and appreciate!
