Updated for 1988, this is one of those books that is organized for easy scanning - a fact I really appreciate. I particularly enjoyed the chapters on Interactive Media Relations and Building Relationships with Reporters. The large number of case studies, online resources and specific strategies found within this book make for an easy recommendation.

Dan Janal is a direct competitor of mine. He writes books, articles, speaks, and consults on Internet marketing and so do I. We both started marketing on the Net long before Cyberspace was an overused word. His Online Marketing Handbook (OMH) competes in many ways w/ my "Essential Business Tactics for the Net." Perhaps that's why the two books are often seen on each others Amazon pages under "People who bought this book also bought..." Well, I'm here to say publicly I've learned one heck of a lot from Dan and OMH over the years. I still refer back to it from time to time.

I recommend you buy his book. I use many of the practices in it. Many of those practices were first documented in the first edition of OMH. Anyway, **after** you buy his book, see how it compares w/ mine. Dan and I would tell you they complement each other quite neatly.

In several years online, this is the first time I have written email for the sole purpose of commending a product wholeheartedly and without reservation. I borrowed your Online Marketing Handbook from my local public library out of curiosity, and became progressively more impressed as the pages turned.

I am a 33 year old student of Travel and Tourism, and will open a travel agency in a couple of years.

My weaknesses however, are in sales and marketing, (which I am studying) and your book has provided me with many answers to questions; some of which I had not yet thought of asking. Your examples and case studies are great resources, and you present currently practised techniques in a thoughtful, non-judgemental manner; discussing their pros and cons objectively. Moreover, the number of online resources relevant to your subject that you reveal would almost justify the cost of your book alone.

To summarise; thanks for a terrific resource, you can count on at least one sale to me, and I hope you make as much money from the Online Marketing Handbook as I intend to from its use.

I have been reading your Online Marketing Handbook to help me reposition my career from broadcast sales to internet sales and have found it extremely helpful.

This book will keep you up-to-date in the fast-changing field of online marketinger long after the latest magazines on the subject are passe.

The book is largely a rehash of dated material. The information can all be found (free) on the internet itself. Alternatively, there are several more up-to-date, comprehensive, books in this gendre!

This book has it all! It really lives up to its title. I heard Dan speak at a seminar at my association's meeting and he really inspired me to put my business on the web. This book is a blueprint for making my website a success. Other books talk about marketing, but this book gives you the step-by-step, hands-on advice I needed.

This book is organized very well. The "Constructing an on-line marketing business plan" is excellent. The 101 Reasons to be on-line section will pay for itself. You will be able to attain financing much easier because the reasons are expressed clear and concisely.

If you thought 101 Businesses You Can Start on the Internet was interesting, wait until you read this one. There's also an audio interview with Dan at this location, http://www.realvoices.com/ss/sball/WWA05.htm The combination is a winner.
