Starting an Online Business for Dummies (WILEY) More basic, of course, is the latest edition of Wiley's "Starting an Online Business for Dummies" by Greg Holden. This book, in it's 6th edition, provides a much broader view of the web-biz world, focusing on the tools to get started to build even the most basic e-commerce sites, with much less regard to specific niches and the degree to which they pay out. Traditional subjects like, third-party software, hosting solutions, SEO, payment systems, customer service, etc. are presented in a systematic order, allowing the business owner to understand each of the steps necessary to create a well-oiled online presence. This latest "Dummies" edition presents everything a new entrepreneur needs to get started with the basic of building a rudimentary e-commerce site (including an update on third-party tools from Google and other providers that have come on the market since the last edition) though to get beyond the basics essential to creating a true internet retail powerhouse, much more advanced information would still be required.
Everything for the basics,at least I am pretty new to the internet business concept, so I knew that this DUMMIES book would be a good start. The book is filled brim to brim with loads of information, more than I expected. It will take a while to finish, because it really covers so much ground. And as usual, it matches the witty and fun style used in the DUMMIES books, which is good for people who are easily bored in reading educational books. I recommend it to anyone looking for a thorough but fun book written by an expert.
Good for the price This book is a good read for the price. It's really informative but the bad thing is that it says it comes with a cd but it doesn't.
STARTING AN ONLINE BUSINESS FOR DUMMIES I have boughten several of the for dummies series and found them to be quite helpful. One of the series is the one listed above. I found it to be very informative. I have not completed the book, but intend to finish it. So I can get my online company up and running. The book has given me a lot of new ideas in starting a strictly online business.
Buy the latest version This book is useful when you are just starting an online business. Just make sure you buy the latest version so that some information is not outdated by the time you are ready to set up your online business.
