Win £500 for reviewing an e-book

I do love a good competition, and effort based competitions are great ones to enter as the entrant pool is a lot smaller. I don’t usually post competitions that require a purchase, but this one is pretty small (£1.83) AND you get a brilliant book afterwards.

The Money Press is a book by Joey Moncrief about a variety of things a young entrepreneur did to earn some extra cash.

“Why are you always trying to make loads of money?” some people ask in an accusatory tone, as if they view entrepreneurs as greedy. You’d probably think I want a fancy car, a rambling home in its own grounds, exotic travel, a great lifestyle, and complete financial security … and you’d be right. But there’s a bigger reason. Making money is the most fun you can have with your clothes on.

 I view it as playing a vast pinball machine. The score clicks up and up through your skill as a player; the higher the score, the bigger the thrill. But this game is for real. The machine is the world. The numbers print out on your bank statement – and every mistake costs money. But I REALLY enjoy myself!

At school I only excelled at two things: English and art. There was no such thing as English college, so I went to art college, specialising in graphic design. Graphics often involves printing, and the college had a printing press. Soon, myself and three college friends were secretly churning out everything from wedding stationery to Christmas cards in the dead of night – and making lots of lovely lolly! That’s why the book’s called “The Money Press”.

When I left college I couldn’t get a design job: no working experience. So I hit on a wheeze. Our photographic tutor had a shop in our small seaside town, doing passport, portrait and industrial photography. I said, “If you’ve got five minutes, I’ll tell you how you can double your business.” He listened … and that’s when it all kicked off!
