Would you like to quit your day job? Then check out Ali Hale’s new free ebook, Quit Your Day Job: Getting More From Life.

If you read my review of her Staff Blogging Course, you know that Ali quit her day job a while back and now supports herself with her income from freelance blogging. But her new ebook is not specific to any particular type of work.

She tackles three main ways to make an income:

  • Freelancing (a passion you can sell)
  • Small business (a passion you think you can’t sell)
  • Passive income (a passion you don’t want to sell)

This ebook oozes with Ali’s experience and insight, as she covers everything from mindset to specific details. As well as sharing her own thoughts, she also includes many links to great resources for more information, many of them cheap or free.

Here’s the part where I’m supposed to go on and on about why this ebook is worth the purchase price. But seeing as how it’s completely free and doesn’t even require an email address, why don’t I make it simple and just give you that link again: Quit Your Day Job: Getting More From Life.

I think anyone with at least a passing interest in self-employment will be able to get something out of this. Even though I’ve read a lot on this topic already, I very much enjoyed it. (I also learned a new British English word (barmy, meaning crazy or foolish), and where the word “freelancing” comes from.)

If I had to pick one thing I didn’t like about this ebook, it would no doubt be her negative reference to The Simpsons. Really? The Simpsons? How could anyone not like The Simpsons? However, seeing as how she was making a valid point about time management when you’re starting a business, I think she can be forgiven. :)
