"Excellent publication and helpful to clients we counsel"

"Thank you so very much for furnishing the 12 copies sent by mail. We service a very rural community in the "heart of Indian Country" where the main cottage industry has been Indian Arts & Crafts wholesaled to local traders. That has changed dramatically with the economic downturn and more folks are turning to internet sales as more technology is available in the remote areas. We conduct considerable outreach and your guidebook would be an excellent handout to both existing and prospective entrepreneurs."

“It appears to be an exceptionally valuable resource”

J. Andrew Stewart, Director, Wilson Library, Missouri University of Science and Technology

"Running an online business? This guidebook is free and available online. The book was created by students at Virginia Tech in August of 2008 and has expanded ever since. Great resource for entrepreneurs wanting to launch or improve their online business."

Lyles Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, California State University, Fresno http://lylescenter.wordpress.com/2010/03/

“I came across this resource in the course of my work. It comes in printed or online form and gives a pretty decent overview of the variety of topics a business owner needs to know if they are going to engage in business online. A broad resource for beginners, it is remedial for some and a launch pad for others.”
