How to Start a Home-Based Online Retail Business
I’m disappointed of this business guide, the worst I’ve ever bought. Very general description of the idea to have an on-line business… but not about the business itself. I’m dissatisfied and don’t advise this guide to a personne who is seriously interested in online retail shop.
Rating: 2 / 5
It’s a great book in the sense it has many live examples. But some of these may not be applicable in your situation.
Rating: 3 / 5
I am still listening. I got the audio version.
I consider it really slow and full of self advertising.
He could easily explain everrything he did in 10 chapter in only one chapter. If you have a lot of time, get this book. If you are looking for a writer to go to the point right away, look elsewhere.
The writer wrote this book to get people to visit his website.
The good: I learned a lot. He gives good recommendations as far as who you should hire to do everything to start your business.

Jeremy Shepherd has written a very helpful guide for those who want to get started with an internet business. It is comprehensive without being redundant, It lays a foundation of all the major requirements to be successful in your venture. This includes much more than designing a web page and sticking a shopping cart on it. This is not a “home business for fools” book; it always assumes you are serious and willing to work harder than you may think, but it is very well written and easily understood. Starting with a good strong self assessment of your skills and strengths, he then guides you through the essentials of good business practices, including the special needs of going online. The book contains many useful sidebars and examples of his major points. He has made a point of sharing many of the tricks of the trade, so you can not only avoid the pitfalls of each aspect of your business, but get a leg up, much like having a real teacher who shares his personal experience generously. If you want a real business behind your website, you need this book as your basic text.

I purchased this book on a recommendation from a friend of mine. She had not read it but had heard of the author and his business. I have had the idea of starting an import company to sell online for a few years so I thought this may be a good book to invest in.
What I liked most about this book was the way he so clearly told his story from the position of someone who has been there, in every step of the way. There was not a lot of technical information on how to build a Website, but he explained how he started without the technical know-how either, and how he got around it.
Also in the book there are these sections that are sort of “advice from the trenches” sections. They talk about common mistakes that the author made and the consequences and how to avoid them. Very forthcoming of him to be so honest.
If you are considering starting a home based business on the Internet with a Website, and especially if you are still uncertain of which direction to proceed, I would really recommend reading this book.
