Customer Reviews

Excellent guide for starting up an e-company

Having been through the wringer, and witnessed several friends try to do the same, I feel that this book covers the necessary steps for starting, and continuing, a successful e-company. Having a good checklist is essential, doing it with a good sense of humor is always a plus. The interviews brought the material to life where normal examples would have been boring. Nicely done.

The Perfect Book for those contemplating a dot com business.

I was looking for a book that wouldn't intimidate me. This book gave me the guidelines and structure I needed to get going on the process without overwhelming me with useless details. I found what I needed in a quick and consise manner. This book presents the basics in a user friendly way. Where else would I find interviews with such a variety of experts like Guy Kawasaki? I highly recommend this book to those of you who want to create a successful dot com business.

Fund that internet Idea. This is a must have!

Being in the tech industry any successful person is tempted to start their own company. I bought this book because I wanted to know what it takes to start my own Internet business. Coming up with an idea was the easy part. Selling it to people and getting it funded isn't. It's hard to know where to even start. This "How to Write a .com Business Plan" book provided exactly the information that I needed. The advice from successful entrepreneurs was especially useful. I now have a much better understanding of the process and what I need to do. If you have a good idea but don't know how to take it to the next level this book is a must have!

comments

I found this book to be a thorough guide to business planning for starting an e-biz and getting funding. The interviews from experts like Guy Kawasaki of Garage.com were especially helpful to me. I am still using and benefiting from the "dot-com directory."

Very Useful for Entrepreneurs!

I found this book to be extremely helpful. I especially liked the checklists for the different sections of a business plan. Also all of the online resources were great, because it saved me the time I usually spend hunting around on the Internet for what a need. Definitely worth getting.
