Customer Reviews

This Really Helped When I Needed to Brainstorm

I read this quite a while ago and it really helped me figure out what else I could do after I lost my job. If any one is thinking about a "Survival Job" (especially in this economy) I would highly recommend Ms. Jacobson's book.

Good info. Very useful

I've referred back to this book several times during my life when I was between jobs. It's very useful. It has a lot of original ideas that I wouldn't have considered otherwise. Well worth the money.

I Recommend This Book To Every LA Creative Type I Meet!

I cannot say enough good stuff about this book. Wow! It basically details amazingly innovative ideas for how to make money without having to take a 9 to 5 job in LA. This book reshaped the way I pursued income and is the best non-acting book for actors I can recommend. I currently have six freelance jobs (and have had as many as ten different ones at a time this year) and I love the flexibility, financial stability, and freedom to be creative that this lifestyle provides. Not for everyone, but if you're tired of the "golden handcuffs" that a full time job can be in this town, this book will open doors for you, big time!

Great ideas!

Who knew people do these things? There was something in every chapter that I'd consider doing. I didn't know that you could get paid for a lot of them, I'm inspired!

Excellent book for new ideas

Read this book last night, and realized that there were a lot of options that I had not even thought about...
