As the title of my review states, “No Business Like E-Business” is a great starting point for the would be internet entrepreneur. Where NBLEB is not a step-by-step e-business start-up guide, it will give you a good overview of creating a successful website. I really enjoyed the authors straight forward language. If you are thinking of starting an e-business, bring your ideas, and read this book. It will definitely help focus your online business plan, and help planning your future web presence. Thanks Ravi!

When I found this book, I was actually looking for books strictly about building websites and wordpress blogs. This one caught my eye and I had to research a little before I decided to buy it. I checked out the author’s website and liked what I saw.
I have to say that the book gives a good overview of doing business on the internet. It also includes some finer details to consider when designing and building your website, that many people wouldn’t think of.
As one other reviewer stated, I am sure that much of the information from the book can be found elsewhere. However, it is extremely helpful to have one book that you can keep next to your computer and refer back to on a number of topics. Obviously, it is not the last book you will ever need, but it definately a good one to start with, and I do not regret this purchase!

This book was exactly what I was looking for. I have a personal blog on IT topics [...] that I was interested in optimising through SEO techniques and potentially generating a small revenue stream so that it paid for itself. This book has been a great help.
NBLEB doesn’t tell you how to generate good product/service ideas, you’d need to buy a different book for that, but from the point of having a product/service it will tell you how to do everything you can to make it as successful as possible.
It’s not a slick book but the content is great. It’s worth buying for the content on SEO alone.

I consider myself fairly Internet savvy! Like many others, I *google* and find information about things like website creation/hosting/e-business/blogging etc. When I *chanced* upon this book while browsing, what interested me was the *one stop shop* nature of this book with all the information I was looking for in one place! I just had a chance to read it today on a long flight! In one word I just loved this book! It’s hard to keep a balance to address needs of a novice and a seasoned user. The author has made a sincere attempt to address both these needs (in my opinion). Here some of the information I found useful:
- What it takes design/host/run e-business website AND make money from it.
- email clients/improve browsing productivity this is for you!
- Want to know what blogging is check this book out?
- Wanted a list of all cool websites for internet e-business/blogging etc. this book lists some of these great websites!
The best part I liked was you don’t have to start from the first page and go through the entire book. You can just pick a section which interests you and read that
