Helped my home based business.
This helped my homebased business www.powerprofitfast.com and turned my 98% automated system into an overnight success. Please review the website www.powerprofitfast.com and purchase the book too.

A Business Plan that Actually Works!
As a business owner and entrepreneur, I am always open to money making ideas and have been willing to take a chance on several that have paid off well in the past ten years. This Quixtar book is promoting a great idea that evidently is actually working.Well written.Great idea.Thank you Stewart and Sanders.

Amway in cyberspace
The book is mildly helpful for people who want to sell Amway through its new facad...Quixtar. I joined Quixstar...same products different way of ordering..the internet...novel idea huh?

The book to me is the same sales pitch hype that you get from the people selling the original amway idea.

MAJOR LETDOWN
This book is nothing more than salescopy for Quixtar, a multilevel marketing company like Amway.If you truly want to understand how e-commerce works and how to leverage your marketing efforts in the online world read about e-mail marketing, viral marketing and a little on web design and then learn about writing great sales copy (ogilvy is king here.) For e-mail marketing books check out Seth Godin and Permission marketing and E-mail marketing that works by Kim MacPherson I believe. Godin has another book about viral marketing and there are two additional books, The Anatomy of a Buzz and The Tipping Point that are also good reads.

The problem I have with the book is that it is nothing more than a sales pitch where the authors speak about how great their company is and all the features.If you sign up you sell from affiliate stores, some of which are known, and from others that are no name stores.The business model is quite similar to Amway.So, if you want to do multilevel marketing this might be the book for you but if you are trying to understand why leading e-commerce companies work & how they experience explosive growth the way they do I would try to learn about some of the concepts in the books/titles I mentioned, especially Seth Godin's books.Then, maybe you could leverage those ideas in your own multilevel marketing efforts.

INFORMATIVE, INSTRUCTIONAL, INSPIRATIONAL - THIS BOOK HAS IT
I am not a member of Quixtar and bought the book only because several people I know of are. I enjoyed reading Creating Wealth on The Web. Stewart and Sander wrote a book that was easy to read, flowed well, and kept my attention from cover to cover. It was well written and answered a lot of the questions I had but was always afraid to ask my friends....but I think I'll go and call one right now! ... Read more

Very good for the neophyte
For those who know nothing about the web but would like to take their business online, this is a good book to read before hiring a professional. It will help you to determine if the person or firm knows what they're doing.

For anyone who has launched a website and is struggling to understand what's not working, this would be a good book.

All of the information is available on the web for free, but the author's done a nice job of packaging it and making it understandable for the novice. He's also addresses issues that are not tied to particular platforms (e.g. blogs), so the book won't be completely out of date as trends and technology continue to change.

If you have a few years of experience working with websites, the book may not be as helpful. Generally, though, it's always nice to read other people's take on what works and what doesn't. We are reminded of the solid basics and we always learn something new.

Winning is not enough
Well written,insightful and definitely worth the investment !
You can tell the Author has more hands-on experience than the average
Professor/Teacher who dwell on abstractions and vague concepts.
I just wish I had found this book first to save time and money...

Beng for the Buck
I have gone through a host of books on the topic of web presence. This one, by far, made the most sense... It does not overburden the reader with a lot of technical mambo-jumbo; it focuses on what it truly means for the business. During the last two weeks, I have already gained more exposure; traffic increased threefold; and sales are up... Can you spell ROI?

Great Book
This is an easy to read book with great information. There are lots of great tips. Anybody who reads this will get great value. ... Read more

From the supplier: A study has been conducted on the viability of developing Web-based learning materials through the use of asynchronous learning networks. Although this method is slightly more costly in the initial stages than originally thought to be, since the actual cost of knowledge access is virtually transferred from the school to the student, it proves to be more accessible in the long run as accessing the Web site of choice is easy and can immediately provide interactivity from whatever location the student is in.

From the supplier: Business communication instructors should incorporate Web technology in their classes to guide students to an efficient Web search process. Users who intend to search the Internet for information should be guided to avoid useless and irrelevant information commonly known as cyber-litter. The most popular Internet search engines are Yahoo!, HotBot and Excite. Users should be made aware of Boolean logic when doing their searches over the Internet. Boolean logic is the use of certain words to narrow keyword searches and avoid time-consuming cyber-litter.

Product Description
The World Wide Web has become the most important new communications medium since television, with tens of millions of people now on-line and Web sites
springing up at the rate of one per minute.It has also created a digital marketplace where consumers can search for the best deals and services in an instant.While almost everyone agrees that the Web provides excellent marketing opportunities, many businesses don't know how to use it effectively and have been losing millions of dollars because of it.

In Webonomics, Evan I. Schwartz shows how the new Web economy mirrors the traditional economy in some ways but also exhibits entirely unique
properties of its own.Using numerous case studies of corporations such as IBM, Volvo, Playboy Enterprises, and Wells Fargo bank, as well as smaller companies and web-based start-ups, Schwartz documents both the tremendous failures and successes on the Web in a multitude of industries.

Defining nine essential principles for growing your business on the Web, Schwartz challenges the conventional wisdom and shows how using traditional
business approaches on the Web can backfire.Why are some products better suited to being sold on the Web than others?Why are certain brand names gaining status and how do you create and then reinforce yours?What are the new patterns of consumer behavior?Webonomics answers these questions and shows how to capture the only scarce commodity on this information-based terrain: the attention of the busy people who are spending time there.Putting the frenetic activity in a context, Schwartz delves into the new economic rules, new forms of currency, new ways to do business globally, and shows how to add value to existing products and build customer loyalty.

In addition to offering practical wisdom, Webonomics tells a larger story about life in the Information Age.It's about rising new communities, the next phase of capitalism, a shift in the role of government, and surviving amidst accelerating change, where only the most agile and adaptable businesses will thrive.Amazon.com Review
Webonomics: Nine Essential Principles for Growing YourBusiness on the World Wide Web, by Wired contributingeditor Evan I.

Brush up your Web strategy with the help of Webonomics...
In past years many companies created their own Web sites, but how many are taking this opportunity to improve their relationship with their customers? Not so many because they do not know or do not apply the nine essential principles presented by Evan I. Schwartz in his book: Webonomics. You will say this book is more than 5 years old, means around 35 years in Internet time, and may no more be useful for actual World Wide Web marketspace in 2002.

Basic principles stay still valid, that means that the Web remains the place for interactivity, customer positive experience, self-service, and personalization. So, why many Web sites are not giving the opportunity to interact? May be because their roots in the industrial age slow them to understand deeply the ninth principle exposed in this book: agility rules-Web sites must continually adapt to the market.

When technology is becoming the driving force to interact with your customers and no more a means to solve business problems, Web strategy is asking to be proactive, to be at the edge. Intrusive mass media with their continuously diminishing returns need to extend impact with the Web to link qualified and interested consumers and give them enough information and interactive tools to move them to think to become buyers.

Exposing your company on the Web is the low step when getting results must be the reason to move to the World Wide Web marketspace. Much richer interactive information than in a brochure is becoming the rule to make sure to gain interest from your customers The common number of pages seen is not an effective criteria compared to the frequency of coming-back to your Web site. Creating a relationship and better a community must be a real objective when setting up a Web site, even if it is not an easy task.

World Wide Web is a new economic environment and is asking new strategic approaches to consumer who is regaining control based on his own interactive experience.

If you think World Wide Web marketspace is not your concern, even if you discover everyday that your competitive advantages are shrinking, and that a new small aggressive company coming from nowhere starts to take some of your customers by adding information value to your offer, you had better to reconsider your position.

Competition is moving from marketplace to marketspace and you must be convinced that it will be preferable to understand the 9 principles presented by Evan I. Schwartz in Webonomics to make sure to survive in this new competitive environment.

All we need is "Webonomics"
"Webonomics" is a handbook for successful people who want to do business in web. It is easy to understand and useful. Those principles seems like common sense, however, they can draw excellent and remarkable conclusion in your mind.

That book has lots of examples, although some are from 90', they can still show clearly about the concepts.

It's worth to buy and keep.

Great Book Examining Early History of Web Economics
Book Review for San Jose State University BUS 240-Ecommerce Class by Ji Luo

This book is a great summary and a proponent for doing everything online *if* the time is 1997. The book relies heavily on dated case studies of pioneering companies that were successful in the mid 90's. Buzzwords such as "eyeballs", "page views", and "stickiness" were used in this book to show the craze and the fascination the author and society had with the potential of the Internet in the mid 90's as a marketing tool. Some of the companies mentioned did indeed start off brilliantly. However, the realization that profitability is the key to business, coupled with various legal and ethical issues has tarnished (or bankrupted) these same companies.

However, the book certainly has its great moments. Some of its predictions of how Internet will change the face of economy continue to hold true. The Internet has brought unprecedented convenience and information to the consumer and that is shaping businesses everywhere. People can now buy cars and airplane tickets online anytime and almost always at a lower price. This eliminates the job functions of a travel agent or a car salesman. Phenomenon similar to that will continue to happen as the Internet is reshaping the way people do things. The question still remains "What are the appropriate methods and the path to profitability?" The prediction that Internet has made the world smaller and that it's evolution will be a global matter has also proven to be true. Indeed, the greatest growths in Internet commerce are taking place in Asia and Europe. It's common to see today's Hong Kong cinema glorifying the "Net Geeks" and twenty-something dotcom millionaires. These exact same things were glorified in the American media in the early to mid 1990's.

In conclusion, I felt the visions painted in this book are mostly valid. However, in light of the current economy, some of the "successful" methods and case studies done by the author to support his points are not. The writing style is very easy to follow and I would recommend this book as a first read to anyone wanting to bring his or her physical business virtual. The book summarizes the Internet's potential as a marketing tool. Yet, how to successfully tap that potential remains to be verified.

Comprehensive 'common sense'
I read Evan Schwartz's 'Digital Darwinism', which I find highly engaging . So I bought 'Webonomics' & find it equally enjoyable & pragmatic despite its earlier publishing date. Although some friends claim that the principals illustrated in the book are simply 'common sense', I find these 'common sense' to be highly concise & comprehensive. ... Read more

I can't believe all this law stuff is making sense!
I really like this corporate law textbook.Very readable and easy to understand with simple examples which help you to remember definitions and concepts.I have been required to purchase textbooks for other paralegal classes which were so poorly written that the teacher never even referred to them; what a waste of money!Not so with this book!I plan on keeping it on my bookshelf long after my corporate law class is done!

paralegal studies
I'm using this book as a textbook for paralegal studies.It is exhausting reading, with something of a tendency to inundate one with too much detail before the big-picture gets explained.It would help to have a comparative chart of the different types of organizations.
