A must for all budding online business tycoons
This book has proven to be such a valuable asset to success in online business. I wish I would have had this years ago. it is very easy to understand, and in the classic dummies book fashion, gives you the info in a way that allows you to go back and forth like the best reference books. A must!

Selling Sections Open a Whole New World
I bought this book as a gift for my grandma because she wants to do more online than email and read her newspaper, but when she went to Amazon.com the first time she had an anxiety attack and needed me to come over to help her. I don't have time to deal with this stuff, so I bought her the book. But before I drove it over to her house I took a quick look. I must say, what I didn't know about Amazon was a lot. I do a lot of checking out reviews for products before I buy them and take a look at favorites lists (which I think is called listmania) and I thought that was all there was to it. The book, though, goes into the whole selling side of Amazon. It talks about Zshops, auctions and Advantage. The coolest thing, though, that I found in the book was this thing called Associates which is basically a referral program. You link products from your site and Amazon pays you a percentage of sales. There's a blurb in there about a gift site that doesn't sell anything but just provides info and recommendations and stuff and links from these products to Amazon. This site makes approximately $30,000 dollars a month in referral payments from Amazon. This got my wife and I scheming on how we could get in on this. I have web development skills. I can do this. Maybe then I can quit my day job. A cool book all around.

Save your money
This is insane. All this material is covered on the Amazon web site already. Why would anyone buy a book to learn how to shop a website that's designed to be so user friendly? And why would someone write a book about it?
