These 3 books will make you more $ than a degree

These 3 books cost less than $50 but will make you more money than a college degree.

I know this because I:

• Spent 2 years in college

• Dropped out

• Read these books

And in under 3 years ended up making more than my college professors’ yearly salaries in a single month.

Yes, a potato like me who writes in his underwear for a living.

So, sure, you can spend 10s of thousands of dollars and waste years of time getting a business degree that might get you a $60K a year job.

Or…

You can dedicate 1 month to reading these books, apply what you learn, and be making a helluva lot more money a helluva lot faster.

Now, before I dive into these 3 books, I have a bonus book I recommend by my friend, Kieran Drew.

Kieran is a fellow online writer who’s grown his total audience to over 200K followers on social media and has made a lotta $$$ doing it in the process.

(He even has a sick twisted sense of humor like me).

In his free e-book, he shares 10 tips to make your writing engaging, persuasive and downright sexy.

The book that changed my life…

When I first read this book, I had just dropped out of college, quit my job at Dominos, and restarted my social media account to 0 followers.

I was trying to figure out how to make money online when I stumbled across this book that isn’t really talked about much.

This 1 book taught me the skill that helped me grow my social media to over 550,000 across all the platforms, improve my thinking, and scale my business.

The book is called Writing Tools, by Roy Peter Clark.

This book is hands down the best book I’ve ever read on writing.

Now I know you might be thinking, “Writing? What does that have to do with me?”

Well, whether you know it or not, you’re a writer.

Content is writing.

Marketing is writing.

Communication is writing.

And when you write better, you think clearer.

When you think clearer, you speak better.

When you speak better, you persuade better.

When you persuade better, you make more money.

It doesn’t matter if you’re in your 20s or 40s, or if you’re a man or a woman…

Writing is the 1 skill that improves every aspect of your life.

But school made it boring by making you write 3,000 word essays on topics you don’t have any interest in.

On top of that, school doesn’t really teach you how to write effectively in the real world.

Writing Tools is a book that breaks down how to write engagingly, persuasively, and effectively, in an easy-to-understand way that anyone can learn.

The 288 pages in that book taught me more than 2 years of pursuing my English degree.

But writing is only 1 piece of the puzzle…

When you combine it with this 2nd book, you become deadly.

The

I read this book 2 years into my online business journey.

But if I would have read it at the start?

I would have taken a year off my learning curve and I’d be much farther ahead than I am now.

When I first read this book, I already had an online following of around 150,000 people, but it confirmed all the lessons I learned from experience.

The 2nd book that’ll make you more money than a college degree is called Expert Secrets by Russell Brunson.

This book gives you the A to Z roadmap to building an influential online personal brand that not only grows you a big social media following…

But also how to make money from it.

Because if you look around you, the world has changed.

Attention has shifted from the radio, to the TV, and now to social media.

Think about it…

Are you more likely to buy a product or service from a random person from an ad?

Or someone you follow on social media who’s been providing you with an immense amount of value for months, or even years?

People are moving away from buying from big companies and strangers, to buying more from people they know, like, and trust.

And the people they know, like, and trust are those they follow on social media.

So, one of the best things you can do to make money online is build your personal brand.

Expert Secrets is the book that’ll help you build a profitable personal brand that stands out in today’s digital world where everyone is competing for attention.

But even if you have attention, to make money, you need something to sell, right?

That’s where this next book comes in.

Now, I didn’t want to put into the list because so many people reference it and I wanted to be original…

But I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t one of the most useful books I’ve ever read on business.

Applying the lessons from this 1 book helped go from a complete business newbie to helping me get clients who paid me anywhere between $3,000 to $12,000 a month as a ghostwriter.

The book is $100M Offers, by Alex Hormozi.

This book perfectly breaks down what to sell and how to sell it to make a fuck ton of money.

Whether you’re a beginner or advanced, this book explains the psychology and principles behind charging premium prices for your stuff.

And explains business in a way that’s super easy to understand.

This condenses years’ worth of knowledge into a few hours of reading time.

If you haven’t read this book, it’s a must.

Hope these help you like they helped me.

Much love.

Your Canadian friend,

Dakota “Bookworm” Robertson
