For Kiwis with a day job and a big idea

The Books That Are Helping Me Build an Online Side Income

I'm a regular Kiwi learning to build an online business, one book and one small step at a time. These are the books I recommend, plus a free plan to help you get your first 100 visitors.

My Recommended Books

Start with the first one if getting customers online is your biggest problem.
