When I first came across this book I was turned of by its unnecessary title - The whole notion of building a "profitable internet store in 7 days" is insane in and of itself. The title aside though the book does cover in great detail different aspects of building a business plan with key examples for small and medium sized businesses. Whilst the early parts of the book may seem basic, coverage of areas such as finance, operations and in particular marketing are well detailed and efficiently summarized. Szydlik's background of working with over two hundred Fortune 500 companies makes this book well worth a read as a refresher or the perfect gift to someone who is looking to start their own business.

We have a small retail business in Vermont and I am no computer genius. This book was very helpful as we put together our first ecommerce site. Some of the links are outdated, but the business advice is especially good, and the book is well organized and easy to read. We are actually making money at our internet site!! I never would have thought.

This is an excellent resource for someone that is new to ecommerce. The book covers nearly every conceivable topic from writing a business plan to shipping your first order. It also contains contact information for additional resources.

The writing is clear and easy-to-understand which means it won't be difficult to implement.

The cover infers that it is possible to create a profitable internet store in 7 days. While I do not believe it is likely that your store will be profitable in 7 days, I do believe it is possible to establish a site in 7 days.

If you already have an ecommerce site then you will find this book to be too primary. However, if you are new to ecommerce then you definitely need this book.
