Long list with some insights
Neat compilation of existing market places and very high-level descriptions. I guess it does offer convenience for people to choose what fits their situations from a menu, but not much else beyond that.I noticed a tremendous amount of space fillers -- e.g. lots of anecdotes without tangible takeaways, unnecessary line skipping when consecutive paragraphs are talking about the same point, instructions on how to do things that are unnecessarily long without being detailed enough to actually execute.Majority of the ideas presented are simply job-replacements or part-time hustles that will still require 1:1 exchange of time for money. I was looking for something beyond that when I saw "business" on the cover. After finishing the book, it was clear this book's main purpose is to build a quick passive income stream for the author, not necessarily its readers.

Yes, I will take A free car!
I never knew a company would pay me up to $600 a month to wrap my car in advertising. That is a good car payment. So I could really drive a car for free. There are so many other links in this book with ways to do a "side hustle" (see what I did there :)) I think most of these are from the podcast The Side Hustle Show.I am still wondering if someone could live for free. It does take a little work and effort, but everything is in this book to basically live for free. But I did find "CuddleUp" very creepy and very funny. Do you want to know how to travel for free? I will post back here if it works for me. I might even start a blog about living and traveling for free. This book is great for idea generating.

This was a quick and easy read that's full of information to help you take your side hustle to the next level!
This was a quick and easy read that's full of information to help you take your side hustle to the next level (or start a new one). I've been listening to Nick for about 3 years now on his podcast: The Side Hustle Show. When I read this book, it was almost like getting cliff notes to a ton of episodes. I loved that he included links and bonuses in every chapter. There are even a few side hustles I might add to my list of many. It took me about 4 hours to read (I'm a skimmer) the book. Once you find a side hustle you're interested in, just dive deep into that topic. No need to malinger on the topics you're not interested in.This year I turned my side hustle into a full-time gig that makes significantly more than what I was making at my corporate job. Plus, I work about 1/3 of the time. Side hustles are still my jam, so I've got quite a few more in the works. If you're looking to leave your corporate job, or simply looking to make an extra dollar, you must buy this book. Seriously. It's that good.

Best resource for making money online on side hustles or full-time passive income
Huge resource for anyone that wants to make a little extra cash or wants to build their own side hustle income stream. It's a little intimidating at first because there are so many different ways. Read it all the way through first to get a big picture view of each and then dive into two or three resources, reading the sections again.It's obvious Nick has been doing this for a long time in the detail he goes to for each passive income stream. There were a couple of the ways to make money that I had wondered about but didn't know if they could work or how to get over hurdles you hear about on the web. The book covers all the challenges you'll see in each side hustle strategy and really talks you through it.Especially useful was the section on making money on Fiverr. I've hired from the site but was skeptical that anyone could make real money from it. Nick not only offers a great strategy for making money on Fiverr but quite a few different business ideas you can launch on the site.

Talk About a Book That Will Pay for Itself - and Then Some!
There are three main reasons why I think this is a great book to read if you're thinking about any kind of "side hustle" to make money outside of your main income:1) It has tons and tons of money-generating ideas. If you can't find one or two (or five or ten) that either appeal to you or sound like something worth giving it a go, then you probably aren't really interested in side hustling. I have heard about a lot of these opportunities before, but there were dozens that I hadn't heard of (and I can't even imagine that some of them actually exist!).2) It's very well organized and the writing itself is top notch. Even though there are so many opportunities presented in the book, they are presented in a logical, easy-to-follow fashion. And to top it off, it is obvious that Nick Loper is a talented writer.3) It's a fun, quick read. I blew through the book in a few hours and it would have taken even less time if I hadn't stopped a bunch of time to share some of the more interesting (and wacky) ideas with my wife.So if you want a quick, fun and thorough look into the world of side hustling, you would be missing out if you didn't read Buy Buttons.

No. More. Excuses.
I meet so many people who all ask the same question, "How can I get away from my job and make more money?" Most people don't have a clue on where to start. The thought of starting a business seems overwhelming to most. Luckily Nick Loper, the man behind the Side Hustle Show podcast, put together this book.Nick shares two simple concepts on how to make more money now - sharing and selling. He lays out example after example of how to get started in either to make some additional money or even full time income that you can scale up to whatever you want.If you're starting from scratch and want to know where & how to make some extra bucks or even a great income, make the tiny but valuable investment in this book. It's totally worth it!

Excellent overview of how to leverage existing and emerging marketplace resources if you are an entrepreneur.
I have been a follower of Nick's Side Hustle Show for a while now. In this book as in his podcast, he never disappoints. Unlike many Internet entrepreneur teachers, he has carved out a distinct niche: how to leverage minimal time and money resources to get started as an entrepreneur and do it all the while outside of a day job. This for most of us is real world stuff. The book attacks the same theme but from I believe a new angle: using emerging marketplaces to make it even easier. We know about AirBnB but most of these marketplaces I had never heard of. And it is the marketplace dimension - collective communities - that Nick has tapped into. It might be the next big thing for all those of us who are trying to get started in something - anything!

Actionable and so damn practical
It is rare to read a book which practically kicks you to take action. Before finishing this book it had motivated me into reviving my eBay business. It made me realise the skills I have to freelance are already in the market place. I have started talking to people to make it an income stream.Buy this book right now. It will change your life.
