3.0 out of 5 stars Very Very Very Basic Info, November 6, 2004

By	Jonathan D. Stubbs "JStubbs.com" (Luleå, Sweden) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book would be fine if you've never used a computer and know nothing about the Internet. Then, if that were the case you wouldn't be reading this.
So, while the author is complimented for taking the time and effort to write this work, it does not seem that the information content is enough to justify the selling price.
Hoped is that later revisions will have more useful content. For now, the book is inspirational in that it demonstrates that it can be done.

4.0 out of 5 stars this is great!, July 1, 2004

By A Customer

This easy to understand book is excellent for the internet sales newbie. Stephanne tells it just like you had sat down across from her desk and said "I'm thinking about starting to try to make some money on the internet...what do you think I should do?".
It moves right along and gets straight to the point. I will refer back to it oftem!

4.0 out of 5 stars easy to understand, June 16, 2004

By A Customer

This book is, simply put, a stepping stone to added education. This is a bare-bones basics and meant to give you a mere taste of what you are researching in an attempt to let you discover for yourself if this is the path for you or not.

What this book lacks in volume it makes up for in it's straight-forward simplicity. It is not meant to overwhelm a reader who is looking at using an internet presence for the first time. This book artfully teaches the basics - from there you feel more comfortable going on to 'thicker' reading.

If you are new to the idea and trying to find out what's for you, this is the place you need to start. There is an old cliche that sums this book up for us: You must learn to crawl before you can walk.
