Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Werksma has come to the rescue of those who would like to open their own business in, say, consulting, but need a little consultation of their own. In a breezy, matter-of-fact style, she takes the reader through all the basics, starting with a chapter entitled "Are You Qualified to Open a Home-based Business?" followed by chapters on business start-up, legal and financial planning, tools (computers), and advertising; and then she presents interviews with some of her clients, who give a valuable perspective, that of the end customer. Finally, there are pep talks for the home-based owner for every step along the way. A worthwhile guide complete with appended listings of further reading and resources, this how-to is a pleasant experience for the growing number of people about to embark upon the murky journey from commuting to staying at home. Joe Collins

Review

Set up and run a home-based communications business using this guide, which explores everything from outfitting a home office to locating clients and juggling jobs. An excellent guide to all aspects of this business, this provides the worksheets and start-up details necessary to building the business. -- Midwest Book Review

1.0 out of 5 stars Save your money for a real book , not this patronizing tripe, February 10, 2005
This review is from: How to open and Operate a Home-Based Communications Business (Home-Based Business Series) (Paperback)
In all reality this book should have been entitled: how to start a home based business, then I would have no problems with this travesty. Instead it has the unmitigated nerve to pass itself off as a book on how to open and operate a communications business. Let's see...as far as I could see here is the breadth and depth of her precious offering...What are you good at? here are a few communications niches to one can fill(paraphrasing here). No, I take back all I have said... go aheaad and buy it. I know it is small of me, but misery loves company, so by all means, buy the damn thing.
