4.0 out of 5 stars Why not 5 stars? Because..., August 14, 2008

By	Rolands Petrevics "taiwan.typepad.com" (Taiwan) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

... author, still wanted put the unsuccessful interviews in book, even knowing, that they are such.
What I can say about this book? It's like a zebra. One interview, you read, and keep saying - WOW, this guys knows what he says, wow, this idea I like, I can use. Another interview - just opposite - 2 man came together talk in blah-blah style about internet marketing along with a coffee cup. Well, yeah, for them both it may be interesting to spend a an hour for that, or that could be good for cocktail party idle chit-chat, but it was mistake to put them in book. And such a interviews there are about 20 - 30 %.
Conclusion? You need to get this book, because other 70 % is great. Specially thanks for harsh truth from link builder Eric Ward. I liked that most

5.0 out of 5 stars On Line Marketing Heroes, May 22, 2008

By	M. Goodman - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars If you want to sell online, buy this book., April 1, 2008

By	Carlos A. Leyva (Largo, FL United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
