How to Start a Home-Based Online Retail Business (Home-Based Business Series)

Customer Review: Touches on Important areas, leaves some gaps
A found this to be a general overview and “get your feet wet” book on opening your online retail store. I thought there was a little too much storyline and not enough in-depth information. For example, when filing for a Trademark/Servicemark (so nobody can use your name or symbol) the author only touched on this subject. It really didn’t go into the online process of applying for a Trademark/Servicemark, which is very in-depth and very important information.

Chapter 7- “What you Need to Know about Creating Your Website” definitely needs to be expanded and the author needs to elaborate. I think he should’ve used more examples on SEO (search engine optimization) a critical area in the survival of your website. More specific tips for increasing traffic to your site is definitely needed.

The author did a pretty good job on explaining shipping methods and establishing merchant accounts (visa/mc) and what to expect with fees. Chapter 9- “Getting Paid” was helpful.

Lastly, less fuzz on creating balance in your life, creating personal time, making time for family and friends. I think I needed more meat and potatoes with this book, less cranberry sauce. It’s worth picking up the book, because it’s practically the only book available of its kind, but keep in mind this book will mainly serve as an outline for starting your business, the rest is up to you.

Customer Review: All you need to know
It’s a great book in the sense it has many live examples. But some of these may not be applicable in your situation.
