Loading... Internet Riches: The Simple Money-making Secrets of Online Millionairesby Scott Fox
![]() None No current Talk conversations about this book. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The author, Scott Fox, makes every effort to guide the reader through a step by step process, encouraging you to develop your business as you read through the book. In addition to encouraging, simple instructions; there are also numerous interviews scattered throughout the book from others who have created successful Internet businesses. As a moderately skilled "techie" there were some aspects of the book that I found to be a bit tedious to read, though even that information was well thought out and easy to understand. I recommend this book to anyone even remotely curious about creating an Internet business. Prior to reading I hadn't considered the possibility, but now I'm even looking into it a bit, thanks to the ideas the book encouraged. ![]() Fox makes a few points that are quite sound: you don't have to know a lot about technology or business to get started selling stuff online; it's better to get started quickly and learn as you go than to develop a perfect business plan that never gets executed; and overspending at the beginning is a bigger danger than being undercapitalized. It doesn't take an entire book to reveal these "secrets"; nor is Fox a particularly compelling writer. But not being horribly wrong is actually better than average for a "get rich on the Internet" book. I also appreciated that he didn't advocate spamming or deceptive SEO practices, though he could have done his readers (and, thereby, the rest of the world) a service by covering these issues in more detail. His discussion of copyright could also be both improved and expanded. While I don't necessarily recommend this book, I don't know of a better one to recommend for an absolute beginner who thinks they might want to get rich online. For general background on starting a small business, I would recommend the classic Small Time Business Operator by Bernard Kamoroff. [2008-08-14] no reviews | add a review
