Book Description

Publication Date: April 3, 1997

The Internet has changed dramatically over the past two years. The battle over whether the Net should be used for marketing products and services is essentially over, and the Information Superhighway has become the road to riches for those who had the foresight to take advantage of its unique opportunities. For those who haven't gotten on the I-way yet, there's no need to despair -- whole new possibilities have opened up in cyberspace, and this book addresses them all. Topics include: The brand-new possibilities offered by the World Wide Web The latest laws, such as the Communications Decency Act of 1996 The various advertising options available, including a discussion of spamming How cybersellers can ensure that they get paid for their products and services The advantages of trading in the stock of Internet technology-based companies And much, much more...

Clearly written, and free of confusing technical jargon, this is still the undisputed bible for entrepreneurs who want to know how to make a fortune in cyberspace.

1.0 out of 5 stars This book will cost you more than it's cover price., January 7, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: How To Make a Fortune on the Internet: New, Completely Updated Edition of the Book That Started It All!, A (Paperback)

Are you looking for a sure way to get your internet account terminated and to be hated by countless others? This is the book for you! Martha Siegel herself invented SPAM along with fellow attorney and husband Larry Canter. Folks there are legitimate ways of making money without making enemies and this is NOT one of them. SPAM is SPAM and this is basically just a manual on how to do it. Save yourself the money and bad karma. Singularly probably the biggest piece of dribbling garbage ever printed by HarperCollins. In fact it's a shame that Amazon does not allow zero stars or even negative ones, this one would easily earn them.

1.0 out of 5 stars Spam spam spam spam spam!, November 5, 1999

Ron Newman (rnewman@thecia.net) (Somerville, MA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: How To Make a Fortune on the Internet: New, Completely Updated Edition of the Book That Started It All!, A (Paperback)

Read this book if you want to learn how to be a totally unethical jerk who steals bandwidth, disk space, and other resources for your own benefit at the expense of all other Internet users.

Martha Siegel and her (ex-?)husband Larry Canter invented the practice of spamming for profit. Please don't support them with book royalties.

1.0 out of 5 stars The definitive guide to losing your Internet Account..., August 30, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: How To Make a Fortune on the Internet: New, Completely Updated Edition of the Book That Started It All!, A (Paperback)

The definitive guide to having your Internet Account terminated --- from the original masters of spam and slime.

No self-respecting Internet businessman would be caught dead reading this book, let alone following its advice.

Highly recommended...as cat box lining. ;)
