This book gave me some new ideas for my On-line business
I started my own business and have been selling books online for over 5 years (and doing very well thank you), and I also volunteer in my free time as an outplacement counselor for a local non-profit training facility, so I have had a little bit of experience in business; and I have to tell you after reading the dreadful reviews I picked up a copy of this book just for grins... not! This book has some really good ideas. True there is no magic bullet, but that's just it, this book gives good direction and if you have a half-way decent brain and some ambition you will do the rest. My biggest problem as an outplacment counselor (whose job it is to help people to go out there and look for a job) is motivating them. I give them the direction but they want the easy fix. This book will not give you an easy fix, but if you want some good solid ideas ... read this book.

Complete Waste
The only thing to be learned from this book is if you have a catchy title and access to bookshelf space, you can sell anything, even 414 pages of filler. Among the pearls of wisdom is the advice that you can compare features of different computer brands by shopping at your local computer store. I'm not kidding!
I was so insulted by the banality of this book that I was moved to write this review.

Don't Buy It
I bought the book on the strength of the excerpts on the back. It is a waste of paper. The information is shallow an very dated. It does not provide any valuable information, even the rhetoric is thin and pale. The "trends" are old guesses from the DOTCOM era. AND the "money saving techniques" are stale. And I figured this out and I'm just starting a web business. Try TechTV's Starting an Online Business. It's FAR better. Better yet try multiple books and do some deep diving on the web. You know the 3rd 4th and 5th pages when you do a web search. Good Luck. Similar Products
