Economics-and-finance

This author is one of those get-rich quick schemers who is using the profits from this load of hogwash to finance his soon-to-be-released informercial making the same bogus claims. Everyone knows there is money to be made on the Net; what we don't know (and subsequently desire to know) is HOW. This book offers a bunch of lame ideas that any dim-witted fool could come up with while reading through the classified section of an income opportunity type magazine. Get real. There appears to be absolutely no original thought work put into this book. Do yourself a favor...if you really want to MAKE money...don't throw it away on this fodder for birdcage bottoms.

This is the first book about online entrepreneurship I've read that doesn't pile it up and doesn't overhype the online market. It's very honest about what you can and can't get out of the Internet in terms of business, and dispels many misconceptions about the market. Not every one of the 121 business ideas mentioned there is right for anyone, but for the most part it really inspired me to find my own niche (pet related products).

After reading several "pro-active" books on online business, it is refreshing to finally find a book that doesn't paint a too rosy a picture of the future of online commerce. The message of this book is: you can make an income from the Internet - supplemental income, at least - but will probably not become a millionaire. The Internet is not here to drive existing businesses out of business, and hence can't claim to take their share of the market and give it to Internet entrepreneurs. It is a very informative book that, as other readers have mentioned, gets your creative juices flowing. The graphic layout of the book leaves something to be desired, however, and some of the URLs are outdated.
