5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, realistic and applicable information, April 1, 2008

By	Peter Farcas (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Best Website: Simple Steps to Successful Websites (Paperback)

A remarkably good book at describing the actual steps. in detail - that need to be completed to build a truly profitable website! I'm surprised no one has been able to write a book like this before. An actual complete guide that steps through; what type of website to start, getting the right domain name, setting up the web server, easily building and managing the website and finally, a number of excellent promotional strategies - that are actually mostly free!!

I measure how much I like a book by how many tabs I place to mark the pages... and I have quite a few marked with this book. Even the "How to Make a $100,000 from Something You Already Have." Chapter isn't hype.. It's not easy to do, but it is a very interesting way to make money online.

Could have used more detail with regard to e-mail marketing.. but I think that is being picky. Very very, good book!! I Highly recommend it!!

This review is from: Best Website: Simple Steps to Successful Websites (Paperback)

I'm a professional web designer, yet I didn't have much skill in web marketing. This book has helped me to streamline my marketing efforts online, gaining successful listings with both Yahoo! and Google.
The book itself is well written and easy to use for novice and professionals alike.

4.0 out of 5 stars Honest, Simple, Unique, Well Written Classic on Website Success, April 16, 2008

By	Leslie A. Kandel "Entrepreneur" (Olympia WA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Best Website: Simple Steps to Successful Websites (Paperback)

Nelson Bates' book titled Best Website, Simple Steps to Successful Websites, (130 some pages divided into eleven critical chapters about what really works) is concisely written in simple English and is a combination business and technical book based on his twelve years of experience in the internet trenches where he has been making money online since 1995.

He built BuySellWebsite.com into the Internet's most popular marketplace for buying and selling Website businesses and developed the Internet's longest running Website Appraisal system, which has also given him a unique insight into the financial side of the Internet at a grassroots level. He's walked his talk.

This is not a get rich quick or opportunity seeker book with overstated optimism about how you to can get rich overnight, but rather a practical, and bluntly honest overview of what really matters if you want to build a profitable internet business. Also, while it covers technical subjects, it is written for the average person and not programmers or geeks.

He clearly and succinctly highlights what you need to know to be successful without superficial or pedantic ivory tower nonsense. The book is down to earth "How-To" book which is a must have in your personal library for anyone who is serious about building a successful Website. In addition to great layout and typography, sporadically placed tips & notes are also visually featured for quick reference.

One of the most important parts of the book is his "Essential 9" where he enumerates the nine most important things you can do now to make your Website a profitable success.

Whether you're a "Fortune 500" company or a kitchen table startup, His book will serve you well saving you time, money and heartache. This action book is a must have, but will only be of value if you follow his advice. I would have liked more Dreamweaver examples, but that's about it.
