5.0 out of 5 stars Essential and Inspiring, February 23, 2000

By 

Mark M Campbell (Palo Alto, California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dan Janal's Guide to Marketing on the Internet: Getting People to Visit, Buy and Become Customers for Life (Paperback)

Finally, an Internet marketing how-to book that truly delivers what's promised on the back cover. It's well-organized, written in clear and non-technical terms, and chock full of useful advice and web site addresses. Where appropriate, Janal includes case studies.

I found many useful strategies and tactics in each of the six sections (Online Marketing Strategy, Online Selling, Promoting Your Web Site, Creating Customers for Life with One-To-One Marketing Programs, Online Marketing Tools, Online Media Relations).

I highly recommend this book to both e-entrepreneurs and marketing/promotion managers of small and mid-size companies.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Internet Goldrush, May 24, 2000

By 

Roger G Douglass - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dan Janal's Guide to Marketing on the Internet: Getting People to Visit, Buy and Become Customers for Life (Paperback)

Marketing on the internet reminds me of the California goldrush of 1849. There's plenty of money to be made out there but if you don't get there in time you'll be out of luck.

I'm new to marketing. I was asked by an internet based training company based in Chicago to write a proposal to market their web site. I knew nothing about marketing. My expertise was in web design. I got on Amazon.Com and started reading reviews on books about internet marketing. The reviews for Dan Janal's book were very favorable so I decided to buy the book.

I read throught the first few chapters and already knew what to put in my proposal. We are now getting an investment banker to lend us $50,000.00 to develop and market our web site.

I've also started my own business on the side and will definitely implement the techniques that I've learned from this book into the development of my own business.

There is a limited time where you can get into your niche on the internet. I feel that Dan Janal has enough experience doing this himself that anyone who follows his advise will be able to get into their niche and become the next Amazon.Com.

This review is from: Dan Janal's Guide to Marketing on the Internet: Getting People to Visit, Buy and Become Customers for Life (Paperback)

I found this book to be a good read---I actually read it on vacation. I read a lot of business books and I've become a "master skimmer", but this one I read word for word. The book is now full of my notes and lists of actionable items that I can really implement. I appreciated the case studies, writing style and lack of "Internet hype". I would certainly recommend this book for anyone interested in getting the most from their Internet marketing efforts.
