This review is from: Creating Wealth on the Web with Quixtar (Paperback)

I am not a member of Quixtar and bought the book only because several people I know of are. I enjoyed reading Creating Wealth on The Web. Stewart and Sander wrote a book that was easy to read, flowed well, and kept my attention from cover to cover. It was well written and answered a lot of the questions I had but was always afraid to ask my friends....but I think I'll go and call one right now!

This review is from: Creating Wealth on the Web with Quixtar (Paperback)

As a business owner and entrepreneur, I am always open to money making ideas and have been willing to take a chance on several that have paid off well in the past ten years. This Quixtar book is promoting a great idea that evidently is actually working. Well written. Great idea. Thank you Stewart and Sanders.

This review is from: Creating Wealth on the Web with Quixtar (Paperback)

This book is nothing more than salescopy for Quixtar, a multilevel marketing company like Amway. If you truly want to understand how e-commerce works and how to leverage your marketing efforts in the online world read about e-mail marketing, viral marketing and a little on web design and then learn about writing great sales copy (ogilvy is king here.) For e-mail marketing books check out Seth Godin and Permission marketing and E-mail marketing that works by Kim MacPherson I believe. Godin has another book about viral marketing and there are two additional books, The Anatomy of a Buzz and The Tipping Point that are also good reads.

The problem I have with the book is that it is nothing more than a sales pitch where the authors speak about how great their company is and all the features. If you sign up you sell from affiliate stores, some of which are known, and from others that are no name stores. The business model is quite similar to Amway. So, if you want to do multilevel marketing this might be the book for you but if you are trying to understand why leading e-commerce companies work & how they experience explosive growth the way they do I would try to learn about some of the concepts in the books/titles I mentioned, especially Seth Godin's books. Then, maybe you could leverage those ideas in your own multilevel marketing efforts.
