I thought the beginning was great. It really showed me exactly what I needed to incorporate and begin a business, but it didn't go as far as I wanted it to. I wanted some more advanced info. especially when it comes to the operations side of a business, but all in all it wasn't a bad beginning. Just needs a little supplement...

Thanks

Hello, I collect rare coins and stamps as a hobby. Since I occasionally sell items I have at collectors conventions, I toyed with the idea of putting up some information on the Internet since my area of influence was currently limited by geography. Well, it paid off. Now my hobby has turned into a small business since I have a much greater reach to people that have similar interests. So many more people come looking for *me* now!

Thanks! Ralph

I would just like to commend the authors on writing a book with substance. I bought a set of books on an infomercial a few weeks ago and found them to be utterly worthless in starting a legitmate business on the Internet. The Internet Business Startup Kit gave me direction when starting my business and gave me the information to generate a great site. It's good to see that not everything is a scam these days. :)

After purchasing and then taking the time to read the 4 booklets that make up the "Internet Business Startup Kit", I was amazed at the amount of information presented in a very concise and easy to understand manner. The authors of the booklets cover everything from the different forms of business that can be used to create an Internet business, how to get connected to the Web and finally how to create your very own Web site. And this can all be done without you having to become a lawyer, CPA or an expert in computer science. In other words, "on the cheap". Who can benefit the most from the information presented in this kit ? Without question, anyone that would like to stay at home and be an entrepreneur or just run a part-time Internet business can benefit immensely by this kit. * Stay-at-home mom's that have a good idea but no way to get the word out to prospective customers * People that do not want to worry about getting up in the morning and continue to join the rat-race commute to work any longer * The physically disabled that find it difficult to get around in the business community due to their physical limitations. But is it worth the price ? In my opinion, absolutely ! The payoff to the buyer is in the money that it will save you when developing your very own Internet business. Just the information presented in the business development section could save you hundreds if not thousands of dollars in legal fees alone. The same is true in the section where you will be taught how to create your own Web site. And best of all you can be up and running with your very own Internet business in a very short period of time. In short, a great informational product for a great price !

I purchased this set of books and returned them to Amazon, insulted that I had spent even a few dollars on such condescending pablum.

The information is overly simple and, in some places, quite outdated technically. Book 1, about starting a business, is not so bad, but you could certainly purchase a better book on the general topic of starting a business for probably less money.

Book 2 is simply technical trash. If you truly know nothing about making websites, you should probably either hire someone or else or use a generator, like GoLive Cyberstudio or even MS Frontpage. The little bit of HTML you might learn from this book isn't enough to get you anywhere, and furthermore, you could find a better HTML primer on the web for free (just run a search for "learn HTML").

It's been quite a while since I first reviewed this pamphlet, and predictably, I return to this page and find that the majority of the reviews and ratings of the reviews are as bogus as the books themselves. A quick review of this feedback should convince everyone that the author has a serious integrity problem. Save your money and your time-this publication will teach you nothing.

I was fairly surprised by the "Big Price, No Substance" review, I feel quite the opposite. The publisher of these booklets is interested in helping me succeed. They show it by offering customer support and the CD-ROM full of resources. This book is not meant for the Internet Professional, but is certainly meant as a guide for the rest of us to bring clarity to what the Internet is and what it can do for us. Phil

I found books helpful in my computer and business studies at the university. They were easy to understand.

What's great about this set of books is that it was a comprehensive resource for getting an idea onto the Web. It wasn't just a "How to write HTML book". It took me through all the steps for putting up something simple like my own personal home page or even something more complex, like a coroporate web-site. And Odin Publishing's free customer support helped me out when I got stuck!

Thanks! Doug

I've just received a lesson in marketing. The 3 pamphlets I just received for 50 bucks are full of information so basic and generic it could well have come as a government info-mailer from Pueblo, Colorado. There may be more substance in the reviews of these pamphlets as the publication itself. Run, run like the wind. Avoid this "publication". I'm left wondering if Amazon has any way of ensuring the legitimacy of the reviews posted here. Mike
