Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Entrepreneur Press and Entrepreneur magazine routinely deliver straightforward, practical advice laid out in simple, helpful, step-by-step detail. This advice is frequently accompanied by "how-we-did-it-right" tips and real-life examples that serve both as inspiration and as models to be emulated. Therefore, even though there are already dozens of do-it-yourself e-business manuals, readers will seek out McGarvey's new guide. McGarvey is the high-tech columnist for Entrepreneur and Home Office . He offers numerous money-saving tips and identifies possible pitfalls among his explanations of how to build a Web site, how Web hosts and domains work, how search engines function, how to find funding, how to use affiliate programs and banner exchanges, and more. Interspersed throughout the book are interviews with CEOs from such well-established businesses as Autobytel.com and Drugstore.com as well as instructive "mini-interviews" with "low-budget" Web-site builders as well. Would-be dotcommers will find this a trove of basic, reliable information. David Rouse

5.0 out of 5 stars Practical, Hands-On, Fun, January 5, 2001
By Joe Plunkett (Dublin, Ireland) - See all my reviews
This book is the answer to my dreams. I looked at many others -- they were too technical, too boring, and they really missed the point of what you need to know to launch an e-business. This book is exactly what the Web doctor would prescribe and, as a bonus, it's fun to read, too!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book on web site design and operation, January 3, 2001
By Scott S. Smith (West Hollywood, ca United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As a business journalist, I've read lots of web-related books, but McGarvey's is superior to all of them because he has the right perspective (balance of hands-on expertise and an understanding of where most people are at) and provides the nuts-and-bolts details many guides overlook. Plus, useful reports from those in the trenches of e-commerce.
