Have you ever thought about setting up a business online? If not where have you been for the last five or ten years? It’s the new American dream, encompassing all the usual ideas of independence, freedom, and wealth. And sometimes, you know, internet based businesses really do bring all these things to their owners. Not always, though, which is why you need this book. It’s easy to stumble around on the Internet for months or years, and never quite get anywhere. What’s the difference between those
who stumble and those who leap into online success? Knowledge. You can’t succeed unless you do the right things, and while some very successful online businesses have been built by people who serendipitously stumbled onto the right formula, why leave such an important factor to chance?
