I bought this hopping to be able to start my own internet business. I gave up with out being able to. The internet moves at such a fast pace, this book was outdated when I got it. All though it does have some good reference material. With this book alone I could not make my own internt Business (or blog for money). Still worth having for the reference materials though.

Sadly, I decided not to start a business until I see what punishments the current squatter administration decides to inflict on profitable businesses.
