The online world is the world of DIY. There is simply no substitute for living and breathing it. The interviews in this book are with folks that have significant DIY experience.
You will make mistakes selling online because that is the nature of the beast (if you are not making mistakes you are not in the game), but you might make fewer of them if you read this book. Even if some of this stuff is old school for you, there are some gems here that are well worth the price of admission.
I am in the process of launching my third online business and this one is at the top of my must read list. I am highly recommending it to all my friends. It won't disappoint.
One of the reasons books exist is to pass along information--some of which you might learn on your own. But in such a complex proposal as online marketing, you're unlikely to pick up everything on your own, if for no other reason than the fact that each and every one of has a different approach to problem-solving.
In this book you an learn how highly successful online marketers get it done--without having to go through trial-and-error method and missing the unique wisdom that's offered herein.
Just looking at what the interviwees have accomplished is an education in itself. Go ahead: take a look at their online credentials ... and imagine each of them telling you how they accomplished what they did. That many-to-one advantage is exactly what you get in this book. ==Mike
This is the biggest bargain available. To be able to read the various paths to success "mere mortals" took to become successful on the internet was extremely inspirational. I have been quoting the book with regularity since reading. it is a most informative overview.
