Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've never posted a review on here before but I was motivated to do so after spending $35 on a book that is complete and utter fluff. There is no detailed information provided - one of the more extreme examples is on how to place a classified ad for advertising your business - where the author instructs you to find somewhere to place it and then make sure you write a good one. SERIOUSLY. Ok - how? Some examples? Some detail? Isn't that what I spent $35 for? YOU tell me.
Another example is where she says to check area demographics before opening the studio and says that there are many helpful sites on the internet for that. OK - which ones? URL addresses? How can they be used? None of that info is provided.
There are paragraphs where I felt she was just rephrasing the same sentence several times just to fill the page rather than provide any workable information. I'm making up my own example here but you'll get the idea: "You should make sure you pick a good location. Picking a good location is important. If you don't pick a good location, you may not get business. You need business. That is why picking a good location is important." I wanted to pull my hair out after several pages of this.
Given the amount of money I spent on this, I can't just say ok I've been burned it happens whatever and have someone else waste money on this. The book is clearly a cash grab with no substance. I don't like slamming people on public forums either but this book deserves it. Run from this.
