How to Make Your Million from the Internet (and What to Do If You Don't)

This work tells of Jonathan Maitland's attempts to get rich by buying and selling shares from his own front room on the Internet.

Despite being a complete e-dunce, he mortgaged his house for #50,000, which he tried to turn into #1 million within a year.

The book takes the form of a diary, kept over a year, at the end of which the author sells his portfolio and sees how much he has won or lost.

During the year, he interviews key players like Martha Lane Fox, Raymond Snoddy and Nick Leeson, who gave him advice, insights and tips, as well as the lesser known names like the 26-year-old Atlanta man who made $7 million without leaving his flat, and the growing numbers of builders, cabbies and barmaids who've been hooked.
