It’s a great product. However, because it’s so thick, I found myself lazy to open this book so as the results I have bought other books that are thinner and easier to read.

This is useful in that it explains alot of online jargon, but as a required reading assignment, it didn’t peak my interest.

I have bought and sold stuff online for years and this book still had useful information in it. It gives useful, specific sources for many different categories of eCommerce.

I have paid much more for courses and books from so called marketing experts that didn’t have near as much information.

So often you will read or hear that you need to do this or that, but they never tell you the specific places that you can go to get it done.

The many different categories of selling advice would at first make you think that it just glosses over them but once you start to read you see that they are one of the strengths of this book… you just keep finding good advice to tweak and improve your online business.

From web site design and boosting traffic to credit card acceptance to keeping your customers happy or even legal advice for people just starting out, it’s hard to name just one part that would be considered the best part of this book. Site security to even the basics of chosing a business name are covered.

It doesn’t matter if you are only thinking about starting an online business or if you have various web sites and are an experienced eBay user, there will be something in here that will make you glad you bought it.

I bought this book when I was considering starting an online business. I read it cover to cover and it is a great source of info, from start-up and licensing, to paperwork and taxes. Sadly, I decided not to start a business until I see what punishments the current squatter administration decides to inflict on profitable businesses.

I bought this hopping to be able to start my own internet business. I gave up with out being able to. The internet moves at such a fast pace, this book was outdated when I got it. All though it does have some good reference material. With this book alone I could not make my own internt Business (or blog for money). Still worth having for the reference materials though.
