You can benefit from the information in this book if you are just starting an on line business. You can also benefit if you have some experience in affiliate marketing.
Positive:
The book is well organized. It is not difficult to understand. She has a free newsletter (net profits today) that you can subscribe to even if you don’t purchase her book.
Negative:
More detailed information on setting up nameservers on your hosting account would be very helpful.
It is suggested you read the book through at least once and then use it as a reference as you are setting up and running your business.
I highly recommend this book.
