Not as useful as I hopedReviewed by Learn From Reading, 2010-02-17
I purchased this book when I was assigned the task of researching how to go about revising my company's website. Since I didn't know a thing about websites, I bought a couple of books that looked promising. This was the one that didn't deliver as much as the other book. I thought Mr. Bates was very enthusiastic, but not the best writer. I thought he jumped around a bit when talking about some topics, so that it was hard to follow, especially for someone who was new to the whole process of creating a website. The book did have some good information, but it was a bit disorganized. It could have used a firm editorial hand, and I was wondering why someone didn't insist on some changes that would have made it a better book. It also had a bit of self-promotion that didn't sit real well with me, either. At the end of the book I learned it was self-published, which explained a lot.
OK, but only for beginnersReviewed by Chad Henry, 2009-12-27
This book was an easy read and provides some basic, but often
overlooked, tips to building an online business. The book, for the
most part, follows in chronological order and breaks down the
process of building a business online. That being said I have to
say that this book is not for people who have knowledge in web
design/ development or people who have experience in ecommerce.
It's true that the book helps you focus your attention to the
important areas of online business but it greatly simplifies the
process and doesn't go deep enough to make you truly successful
online. Any person who has spend (even a little) time online doing
some research in their niche and following web marketing blogs and
forums can easily come up with the same material that is covered in
this book.
One major thing in the book that screamed out at me was the
author's suggestion to building a site using tables for your
layout. A quick google search or asking a seasoned web developer or
search engine marketer will instantly tell you that developing a
website using tables will hurt you - especially in the long run.
Table-less design has been the standard for at least the last few
years. I also discourage the use of MS Frontpage/ Expression of
which the author highly recommends. This program is absolutely
horrible and I would encourage people to only use dreamweaver or to
learn how to hand code your webpages using simple html and
css.
Overall, I'm glad I didn't spend much money on this book. It did
serve to help me focus my 'action plan' a bit but other than that I
can't say it helped me much. This book is truly only useful to
people who are new to online business and website development. The
book is simply too general and basic - making it sound like you can
make a lot of money online in a very short period of time with
'just doing the minimum'.
Being someone who has made a great deal of money online, I can tell
you that this book oversimplifies every step to making money online
- hence my 3 star rating.
Not quite what I was expecting but still goodReviewed by D. Walruff, 2009-09-03
This book is a "how to" make a business plan for a web business. It does provides some very good information, but I guess I was expecting something more. Perhaps more examples of the different types of web businesses and how to make each one sucessful, and more SEO tactics in the creation of the web site. I feel like it answered some questions and opened the door to a lot more new questions.
good practical web business advice.Reviewed by sonofancier, 2009-08-19
The book is a bit short but gets to its points quickly and clearly. It is not a programming or technical book; which is a good thing - it covers, instead, only the very important business aspects to starting and growing an e-commerce website. Good tips on how to increase traffic to your site; how to set up the site's content and headers to optimize it's visibility and rank on search engines. Gives you the perspective and wisdom from a writer who has created and grown successful website businesses.
Simple steps, yes...but not all the instructions.Reviewed by S. Patton, 2009-08-12
If you are getting this book because you want to build your own website on the cheap, don't get too excited. It does have simple steps outlined, and it will get you almost there with a domain name and a host, but then you're left hanging when the author recommends the use of some very expensive software for making the actual web pages. If your expecting to have your website built by the time you finish this book, you'll be disappointed. It does have some fantastic information on optimizing your website for getting high search results...which would be great...If I had a website.
