• Starting An Online Business For Dummies
19 January, 2008
I have boughten several of the for dummies series and found them to be quite helpful. One of the series is the one listed above. I found it to be very informative. I have not completed the book, but intend to finish it. So I can get my online company up and running. The book has given me a lot of new ideas in starting a strictly online business.

• Worth It's Weight In Gold If You're Going Online!
18 August, 2007
I just got this book last week and I'm not even done with it and have gotten so many 'nuggets' that it has more than paid for itself already! It's well written, easy to understand, organized extremely well for easy reference and full of helpful resources.
The section on 'Keeping it legal' saved me great error already (I was going to buy a domain name that could've infringed on a copyright) and I have found several free web builders online that are 10x's better than what I had been using. There's so much practical information in this book that I no longer feel guilty for buying it new.
This book is zero fluff, tons of examples and free or very reasonable resources, and lots of food for thought. The table of contents is so detailed that it makes for a quick reference (does anyone read a book like this cover to cover?) Greg Holden's writing style is personable and to the point and very easy to understand.
I truly don't understand all the reviews that say this book is no good, not sure what they have been reading, but I have no less than a dozen books of this nature, and this is one of the few that isn't 75% fluff. I'm somewhat of a website newbie, starting about a year ago trying to do my own website. It's alot harder (for me)than I originally thought and have tried no less than 6 different hosting accounts, 4 different online web builders, and 6 different web editing software trials (Expressions, dreamweaver, publisher, coffee cup, page spinner and frontpage). One of the best discoveries in this book was that Firefox offered a FREE...quality...web editor!
This is the 2007 edition, maybe people were referring to the earlier version of the same title. I have gotten way more out of this book than I thought I would. I guess I must be a true "Dummie". It's definitely worth your time checking it out if you are new to the online business world, you can always resell it on Amazon and recover your moola.

• Good For The Price
14 February, 2008
This book is a good read for the price. It's really informative but the bad thing is that it says it comes with a cd but it doesn't.

• Everything For The Basics,at Least
29 February, 2008
I am pretty new to the internet business concept, so I knew that this DUMMIES book would be a good start. The book is filled brim to brim with loads of information, more than I expected. It will take a while to finish, because it really covers so much ground. And as usual, it matches the witty and fun style used in the DUMMIES books, which is good for people who are easily bored in reading educational books. I recommend it to anyone looking for a thorough but fun book written by an expert.
