5.0 out of 5 stars A must-have, great resource for an individual or small business!, June 9, 2006

This review is from: Launching Your Yahoo! Business (Paperback)

I was impressed at how this book introduces the whole ecommerce concept in language that won't make beginners cringe, and at the same time it contains enough advanced concepts to keep more established business owners interested. I really like how this book goes into detail about the steps of setting up an online store because I know a lot of people who are afraid to try things out on the web with no prior experience. The book gives many examples so concepts like templates and inventory control won't confuse fledgling entrepreneurs. The authors seem to know quite a bit about the how people use the Internet, and I can appreciate that type of sensibility as a web developer.

I recommend this book to those who want to get their feet wet in the rapidly growing ecommerce industry, and for those who already have businesses on the web... this makes for a solid reference manual. For those who currently run a Yahoo! store, there are dozens of things in the book which will help you grow your business. In fact it introduces a LOT of marketing concepts that many people dont know about when selling merchandise online.
