If you're reading this article, chances are you've already read a ton of so called "honest" reviews about the book you're interested in, "The Magic of Making Up" many of which scream "scam" in their headlines. The matter of fact is that 100% of them are advertisements. That's right, I'm quite positive you've easily noticed their commercial nature. These marketers get commission for every book sold and want to attract your attention by any means necessary. They know what's on your mind, they know what you're looking for and they exploit that. None of them however, provide any honest feedback - chances are they haven't even read the book!
And because all Internet is littered with these ads, it's hard to find any genuine feedback from real people who have read "The Magic of Making Up", and what's more important, the results that they had after applying the material in practice. In this article I will share with you my tips on how I find real feedback on the Internet, not only about T.W. Jackson's book but anything that is sold online.
Rule #1 - look for the comments, not articles. When you stumble upon a well written article, blog post or even forum post, chances are it is written to sell. Think about it, why would someone take hours of their time to write a lengthy article if they had nothing to gain in return? Many of these articles have comment area under them (or a thread of messages if it's a forum), this is the true voice of the people and only there you will find truly genuine feedback.
Rule #2 - don't take anything that has links in it seriously. Even the comments can be spammed with commercial links. Anyone who posts a link with their post clearly has a secret agenda, and their feedback is questionable.
When you start at Google (or any other search engine), the first thing you will find are the ads. It seems it's impossible to find anything honest. However, if you remember the two rules and look for the comments, you can quickly dig out some gems. This is the way I use to quickly find feedback about literally anything.
Now a little time for shameless promotion :) After reading "The Magic of Making Up", I've written a thorough review dissecting each and every chapter of it. I think you'd find it interesting to see what is there so crazy about this book: http://www.givemyexback.com/magicofmakingup
