Introduction--
Work Doesn’t Have to Be
Something You Hate. . . . . . . . . . . . .
HOW ARE YOU going to feel come Monday morning? When that
alarm clock goes off, are your eyes going to snap open and sparkle
with enthusiasm? Are you going to head off to your commute with a
spring in your step? Are you looking forward to weeks, months, and
years of that routine?
I really hope you are, but sadly the odds are against it. In fact,
according to one study, almost 60 percent of people around the world
don’t like their jobs!1 And the Conference Board recently recorded
the highest level of job unhappiness among American workers in its
20-plus-year history of doing similar surveys.1
You probably work too much for too little with people you don’t
like doing stuff you don’t care much about. At least part of that
sounds like you, right? I don’t think it’s healthy to spend all your
waking hours working a job you don’t like just so you can get up to
do it again tomorrow. And then to keep doing it forever hoping to
save enough so that you can eventually quit and then do nothing.
Most self-help books focus on changing your attitude, envisioning
abundance, or fixing your relationships. But the real problem is that
most people hate their jobs and don’t have enough money. Most of
us spend more time at work than anywhere else. If you spend any of
your after-hours time watching TV, sleeping, or commuting, that
leaves just a couple of daily hours where your kids, spouse, friends,
hobbies, church, and everything else get any time at all.
So the real issue is your work. Do you love your work? Do you
spend your days doing work you feel you were born to do? Or do you
at least get paid enough to make all the frustrating daily compromises
more than worth it?
If you’re reading this book, I’m betting the answer is no.
You’re here because it’s your career that needs fixing. It’s the 8 to
10 to 14 hours each day you waste just trying to cover your bills and
get ahead a little. You can pursue the Law of Attraction to “manifest
abundance in your life” all you want, but if you’re working a 9-to-5
(or an 8-to-8) job that leaves you unfulfilled, it’s time for a change!
Your job should help you live the life you want, not force you into a lifestyle
you don’t enjoy just to keep your bills paid. Instead, how about building a
lifestyle you like today so you don’t have to postpone so much of
your life until retirement?
Join the Click Millionaires Revolution!
This book shares details of the unprecedented opportunity you have
to (re)design your career and life to achieve financial independence
and success on your own terms. It can help you leave behind many
of the compromises and frustrations that plague corporate life and
start the transition from making your boss rich to enriching your
own life instead.
While the media and many business books assume you need to
be a software geek or a Stanford MBA to “succeed” online, I believe
you already have the credentials you need to build a profitable
Internet lifestyle business based on your own real-life experience
and interests.
I know all this sounds suspiciously “get rich quick” but it’s not.
Through lots of hard work and clever use of the Internet, I have found
this lifestyle and financial success myself and I wrote this book to help
you find it, too. Like my earlier books, Internet Riches and e-Riches 2.0,
this book is filled with specific proven strategies and tools that I have
used personally to build a more prosperous and flexible future.
Here’s the plan for sharing them with you:
Part One: Identify your top lifestyle goals so you can design
them into a new online business.
Part Two: Discover the revolutionary principles behind the
success of Click Millionaire lifestyle businesses so that you can
use them to make money yourself. Plus, learn how to quickly
position yourself as an expert in any field online.
Parts Three and Four: Read inspiring real-life case studies of
successful online entrepreneurs who are living the “Click
Millionaires Lifestyle.” Many of these lifestyle entrepreneurs
have created profitable new products and services of their own,
while others have built successful online businesses by providing
promotional or freelance services to others.
Part Five: Pinpoint a profitable niche business model of your
own that takes advantage of your personal life experience and
interests to make money online.
Part Six: Learn the easiest, fastest, and cheapest ways to build
websites and collect money from your new customers online.
Part Seven: Create an Action Plan for implementing Click
Millionaire lifestyle design strategies and choosing the right
niche business model in your own life so you can get started on
the work you were born to do.
Why Should You Listen to Me?
I grew up on the lower end of middle-class in dangerous and poor
inner-city Detroit, but managed to make myself a millionaire. I
worked my way up with no inside connections or family money, paying
my own way through both the University of Michigan and
Stanford Law School. I earned my first small fortune on Wall Street
and retired for the first time when I was just 25. After I got bored
scuba diving in the islands of the South Pacific, I worked my way to
success again in Silicon Valley and then again in Hollywood, too,
building expertise at starting highly profitable, cutting-edge
Internet businesses.
Now that I am able to spend my time how I want, I want to help
you succeed, too. This book is full of my personal stories and recommendations
so I apologize if it sounds like I’m trying to impress you
or sell you. These personal examples are the best way I know to share
with you my enthusiasm and the benefits of the many lessons I’ve
learned earning my own success online. I want you to know that I
don’t write my books hoping to make money from you by writing
about success I’ve never had myself. I’ve literally traveled the world
to identify the best lifestyle and business opportunities available
today. I’m an active entrepreneur, strategy consultant, and investor
making money from a dozen different website businesses as you read
this. And I donate my book profits to charity to “pay it forward”
helping others to succeed like I have.
I have a popular YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/scottfox1),
Twitter account (www.twitter.com/scott_fox), Google+ (www.scottfoxongoogle.
com) and Facebook pages (www.facebook.com/clickmillionaire),
my Click Millionaires Radio Show podcasts (www.Click
MillionairesRadio.com) and all the other tools online to prove to you
that I know what I’m talking about. Why? Because I want you to
know that I do this stuff myself—I don’t just write about it.
And you know what? It works!
The best of these resources is ClickMillionaires.com. That’s
where we’re building the friendliest and most helpful community
online for people like you who want to build their own lifestyle businesses.
It’s where you’ll find my best blog posts, podcasts, and latest
videos, plus free updates to this book, and where you’ll get to meet
other Click Millionaires from around the world, too. Please come
join the community to become part of our worldwide movement
toward redefining success for ourselves by building ethical, fulfilling
lifestyle businesses online and helping others do it, too.
The New American Dream for You
Today you can do better than trying to work your way up to the corner
office. Building a successful business in your home office can let you enjoy
your work more, worry less about money, spend more time with family,
work on projects you enjoy, and share that success with others, too.
Reading this book isn’t suddenly going to make you $1,000,000.
But reading it will give you the tools to redesign your career and life
like I have. I hope that you enjoy it and that it’s helpful to you in creating
a life you are happier to live.
I would love your feedback, suggestions, and follow-up questions.
What would you like to hear more about? What tips, tricks, tools,
and tactics do you have more questions about? Where do you want
to go next now that you have this new info? How can I help you succeed?

live more, and build a meaningful, profitable life that you can be
proud of.

You strike a good balance between breadth of advice and detail. I mean you paint a picture of what is possible and where to begin. Any more detail would make the book too cumbersome. I hope you will write further books going into more detail on the different business models. E-business is the future, "Click Millionaire" is the best place to start.
* The most useful part of the book was: SBI resource recommendation.

I absolutely loved the book. You absolutely have to get it. It's the best I've read so far, and I have read a few.
I got the audio book and couldn't stop listening. I listened over and over and got something more, something
new each time. It is divided into chapters by the types of internet business tools you might like to utilize.
You can go right to the ones that interest you and skip around without missing thing. It's a good idea though
to start from the beginning and keep a business idea journal as suggested in the book. You probably
already have one. I did.
One of the things I liked best is that all the information I have heard over the years . . .from here and
there. . was all in one place in an organized manner. He gave lots of ideas (blogs, newls), lots of
resources (reference websites) and encouragement. I helped me to know I to could become an internet
business success.
Scott gives you lifestyle design exercises to help get it all straight out of your head and on to paper where
you can see it so you know where you want to go with your business ideas. With the book you can also
be involved with the Click Millionaires website and connect with those that can help get your started in the
right direction. It's all up to what YOU DO with the information.

I wish I would have been learning about this 20 years ago, my life would be much different now. A great Read that opens the door to a world of many possibilities.The most useful part of the book was just hearing about the possibilities that are out there. I will go back a re-listen to get the specifics. This is a great read!

I decided to write this review, because I wanted to make sure that people that are planning to set up an information marketing business learn about the importance of owning this book as their guide and support for the success of their business.
As I was progressing with the reading of the book, I started to get more and more excited, realizing that finally I found the book I was looking for, for weeks. I knew by about half time of my reading that I lucked out and with the help of this book I will succeed with my endeavors.
It is not everyday that you can find a book that takes you by your hand and guides you every step of the way toward the successful development of your business. I actually purchased two copies so that my partner can consult the book concurrently with me, because I do not let it out of my hand.
The book contains a detailed blueprint for how to initiate, build and manage a digital business. I am consulting the book repeatedly while working on my new website.
The book is not only well written and easy to read, but one of the most comprehensive one about information marketing and how you can create the best lifestyle one can have by following the authors' advise.
You know that there is a huge selection of books about this and other similar topics and I confess, I own quite a few of them, myself. None, and I have to repeat this, NONE comes even close to Scott Fox’s book with respect to providing you with practical information, including detailed, step-by-step guidelines for digital publishing, podcasting, network- and affiliate marketing, freelancing, content marketing and up to establishing one’s brand.
Do you know what makes a book a "Best Seller?" – mostly if it is written by an experienced professional that writes well. Scott Fox fits this bill perfectly. There you have it.
Did you ask yourself the following question lately? "I'd like to know everything about Internet businesses but I do not know whom to ask." Well, your best source has just arrived. Read this book.
Once you know the basics from Chapter 1, you start to learn about the details in the Chapters that follow.
Part 3 and 6 of the book are the meat and potato for learning about the best Internet businesses for making money while concurrently redesigning your lifestyle according to the click millionaire lifestyle.
There are two “10-step action plans” in the book.
One is about how to redesign your lifestyle and the other is the click millionaire’s expert program. If nothing else you want to take from the book, at the minimum you must follow these two guides that will lead you to the successful achievement of your endeavors. You should print out both and pin them in the area you are spending most of your time, when working.
An additional benefit of Scott's book is, that it is supported by his two active online community. The websites introduce readers to groups of like-minded business owners, leaders and aspiring business developers that are available to network and learn from one another. Readers of the book can relax, knowing that aside from consulting the book as often as they feel the need, they can also get answers to their questions from other like-minded people after they join the click millionaires group online, which is free if you purchase the book.
I actually joined the membership program where for a minimal membership fee, you can even consult the author directly.

It was a great book. I would recommend this book for anyone who is seriously considering starting an online business of any kind. Not just guru hype but real true methods and ideas to start an online business today. I'm interested in affiliate marketing, but learned much more like developing my own product from this book. This whole book is good because there is a lot of useful information to start any kind of online business.

If you are someone who has ever considered starting your own internet business or you already have, this book is for you! Scott Fox does a wonderful job of showing the reader all of the possibilities for having an internet business. This book is more than a how to book. It is a book about pursuing a lifestyle that most people only dream about. You will learn how to turn your passion into a business that can help others. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is curious about how they can improve their life and career!

What I like best about Scott's book are the practical approaches to starting your own e-business. The book offers a section on envisioning your new reality, dips into some proven routes to success, and then breaks down activities. As LAWonder has noted, it's easiest to have a copy to refer to as you work on your projects, but not completely necessary. Owners of the book also may join Scott's online community and forum, which is a tremendous source of advice, reference information, and general morale-boosting interactions. I thought the later chapters should have been placed earlier in the book. The book is all about getting started; I would have liked to see an appendix (or a web page) of recommended reading/references once you have your e-business up and running.

Fox's book contains great suggestions for identifying values,
priorities, and passions. I love the Idea Journal exercise; it's a great
way to pin down thoughts as they pass through at inconvenient times! The
book is interspersed with links to websites where free support is
available to readers interested in using the methods outlined in the
book, interviews with successful online entrepeneurs, and full of
information for starting an online business.

Scott Fox has written this book in a fashion that you must keep referring to it for it to be effective.
He has outlined a realistic path for entrepreneurs to move forward in creating a comfortable & successful lifestyle.
This is a formula one needs to follow and refer to while building a successful on-line business that is realistically doable.
A great book for all those who want a better way of life and who will apply themselves consistently to obtain it.
I am so glad I won this book or I might have thought it just another get-rich-quick book , of which it is not.
“Do you love your work?” If not, successful e-commerce entrepreneur Scott Fox offers a solution he claims is easily available to anyone with a few good ideas and a modicum of resolve: an online business or businesses. Despite the self-coined buzzwords and self-promotional messages that pepper the text, Fox’s practical, easy-to-follow guide is a boon to anyone starting an online business. getAbstract thinks that readers who are exploring an Internet-based business for the first time will gain confidence from his encouragement, expertise and practical advice.

Click Millionaires provides good basic info for someone like me who is just learning about the internet's income possibilities. Recently widowed, I have to redesign my life, and this book has provided me with the steps to get started and sources for more information and research. I found the ten-step lists very helpful in organizing my action plans and starting my entrepreunerial journey.

He asks everyone that reads the book to post a comment for him to get a free gift. He sends non stop emails for his own self interest. It's unfortunate. He won't stop emailing to review.

Highly recommended for uplifting content, roadmap/examples of making money, support and clear communication. I personally was struggling with creating a profitable business model/how to make money and reading the book helped me realize there are tons of ways and not to listen to everyone else. What I had been thinking all along was verified in this book to work. Stay away from gurus that want you to spend 1,000s of dollars. You'll learn more from your customers. The forum gives offers for $97/$127 products and direct contact with the author. This seems to be common among many authors. I prefer reading books.

I've read Scott's previous book, E-Riches, and learned a lot from it. So, when I had the chance to get my hands on an early copy of Click Millionaires, I jumped. Although I've had the book for two weeks, I've been deliberately taking my time to read the book, rereading those chapters that are relevant to my niche business, Cycling CEO.
Scott has done a great job of explaining the laptop lifestyle and how you need to prepare for it. He also takes time to explain what it takes to pursue the independence that this lifestyle offers. For anyone seeking to start their own online business, this book is highly recommended. Not only does Scott provide guidance beginning from ground zero, he also provides a very good guidance to get one going on the path to success. I especially appreciate the suggestions of third parties that are critical towards building a successful online business, from blogging sites to email marketing services to blogging platforms.
If you are looking to move towards a laptop lifestyle, read Scott's book. Scott will help you get going in the right direction but he also will not hesitate to tell you that, ultimately, the success of your business is going to be determined by one's desire and commitment to success.
Click Millionaires: Work Less, Live More with an Internet Business You Love by Scott Fox is a book for those hoping to make money online. Don't let the title fool you though, this is not a get rich quick book but a high level view of what it takes to create another income stream.
Click Millionaires: Work Less, Live More with an Internet Business You Love by Scott Fox (website) is an exciting book which came to me just at the right time. I was looking for other sources of income, but didn’t want to work myself to death and be able to spend some time with the kids. I have tried freelance programming but never made any money at it (ended up with making $2 an hour or close to that) and gave up when I had to run for months after people to pay.
As you well know, I like books and have a book blog. While the main reason for the blog is not to make money, it sure would be nice to at least pay the hosting bills or buy some holiday toys for the kids. Most book bloggers will tell you that they’re not in it for the money, and I believe them.
But we all have an Amazon Associates account – don’t we?
Making money off associate accounts or on-line at all is an art form, time consuming and not as easy as you might think. We all know that the people selling hope are not selling a plan –and without a plan your dreams of Internet stardom are just that – dreams. I don’t think I’ll become a millionaire, but a few hundred bucks a month could go a long way
Why spend energy working nights, stocking shelves, when I can spend that energy on my own little business?
This book gives an excellent overview of ways to make money online through freelancing, vlogging, blogging, podcasting , etc. and how you can make all of these work together to your advantage. One reading, you can pick an avenue(s), research more and start their small online business almost immediately. There are many other sources at the end of the book for such research.
The reason this book excited me was not because of the information (as excellent as it is) but because of the ideas that were popping into my head while I was reading it. Some of them I immediately discarded off the bat, others I had to think about before discarding them – but I ended up with a few that I think might actually be descent.
And that, my friends, is the power of this book.
