Very disappointing

Obviously the author is a savvy marketer and knew that by using Google's name in his title he could piggyback their success to sell his book.

The author drones on for several chapters with a recounting of the history of the internet. Discussing Moore's law, how Bill Gates got started or burn rates of early dot com bubble companies may be of interest to some but it surely is not what is required or interesting to those who want to "start your own internet business,make money online or have a new stream of income" as the book blurb states.

If you truly want some specifics and not overused generalities on how to profit on the net, look elsewhere.

This is a 'History Lesson' NOT a 'How-To' book.

What would have made What I Didn't Learn from Google but Wish I Had better?

This book need more on the, how to get rich and less of the history of Google.

What could Jamie McIntyre have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

He should have used more techniques for SEO and other strategies.

What I bought from Audible, and wish I hadn't

The author goes on and on and on about really dry internet history. I kept waiting for him to tie it all together into something useful ... but he never did. The title is very misleading.

Don't waste your money

I now know more about Google than I ever wanted to know, which is not why I bought the audio. The summary is completely misleading. If I could get my money back, I would. As it stands, I will probably drop my audible account because I would hate wasting any more money on another lousy choice. I also hate wasting time, and that's several hours I will never get back.

What I Didn't Learn from Audible but Wish I Had

I was very disappointed with the misleading book title. A total waste of money.

Disappointing

A waste of time. The content mainly deals with the history of Google, Facebook etc - most of the information is freely available in the public domain! It is irrelevant to making money on the net!!! The publisher's summary omits to mention that it is mainly based on Jamie's experiences in Australia. It is a pity that the narrator has no idea on how to pronounce the names of Australian and English cities. Not very professional.
