About Just Start With

What is this?

Just Start With is a site that answers one simple question: where do I start? Whether it's an author you've been meaning to read, a hobby you want to pick up, or a topic you're curious about, we help you find the best starting point so you can stop overthinking and just get going.

How we pick our recommendations

Our recommendations are based on what real people actually recommend. We use AI to help us collect and analyze book reviews, discussions on forums, articles in newspapers and magazines, and search trends.

No placement on this site is paid. The recommendations are ours, based on what we genuinely believe is the best place to start.

How we make money

Some links on this site are affiliate links. That means if you click through and buy something, we may earn a small commission. This comes at no extra cost to you. The price is the same whether you use our link or not.

This is how we keep the site running. It's a win-win: you find a great starting point, and we get to keep doing what we do.
