Out of date, but still has some good suggestions!

[Ligaya · Rating 1 out of 5]

Don't bother with this book as it is too out of date to be of any use. Even if it was newly published, so much of the advice is too simplistic to be useful. The "businesses" listed are very random: search engine optimization service ("...this business has strong international potential."), interior design, social media registration service, collector store ("Other costs may include purchasing products for resale."). The startup costs seem pulled out of a hat. Ugh.

A bit out of date, but fun to see who used to be big players in their industry, and think about who is big now! Great book for brainstorming - once you choose a few ideas you’ll need more detailed resources to dig in. If you already have your idea in mind, skip on this book.

This is a fantastic book for anyone who would like to start an easy home business or start telecommuting for a country. The author offers a lot of ideas, good help getting started and best of all, links to free useful information and resources.

I picked up this book at the library, and unfortunately the information seems a bit dated at this point!

Very basic information. Should help some people brainstorm when trying to decide on the direction of their online business.

A good place to start if you are in the beginning stages of thinking about opening a home based business using the internet. The market is saturated with most of these businesses.
