Dreams like these can become reality, according to Beth Williams. She is the author of How to Open & Operate a Financially Successful Web-Based Business; a guide that can get you on the fast track to launching a website for your already-established company or guide you through the processes of parlaying your business idea into a marketable force on the internet. With a significant rise in internet-based sales each year, businesses have recognized the importance of having a website for their merchandise. Williams details the brief history of web-based businesses, and explains how the upcoming “dot com boom” will learn from the past mistakes made during the first boom in the early nineties. She asks readers insightful questions about their web-based business intentions, which requires anyone reading the guide to be honest about their intentions. Are you serious about establishing a successful business, or are you having fanciful thoughts of never having to wear your business attire, or tolerate the daily grind of commuter traffic? After making it through Beth Williams’s question and answer session, readers will know where their true intent lies. In no way does Williams lead us to believe that this guide is a magical link to web-based business success; she continuously reminds us that this endeavor will require much forethought and perseverance. Just because you may have the desire to own and operate an internet based business, certainly doesn’t mean you have the tools you need for it to be successful. This 290 page guide illustrates that there are MANY steps and concrete planning that must take place before establishing yourself in the web-based business world. Williams discusses how to find your “niche”, and gives practical advice on how to determine if there is a legitimate market for your idea. This guide is a stellar handbook for anyone looking to initiate a web-based business, because Williams covers every aspect of launching and running a site. If you are not computer savvy, Williams offers suggestions and explains how to find a professional web designer, and how to use templates to create web pages. With the right idea, anyone can have a profitable website…even those who have basic computer skills. Exceptional and creative ideas are also offered by the author to enhance your webpage once it has been established; ideas that are insightful and easy to implement. This book achieves a rating of four out of five stars, and should be considered a vital guide for any entrepreneur wanting to expand their business or ideas onto the internet.

With corporate layoffs (and the global downsizing of the workforce in general), it is important for all of us to understand the individual repercussions the consequences of this change have on our work and career. So what are the options? One option is presented in the timely book, How to Open & Operate a Financially Successful Web-Based Business. This book provides the ABC’s of how to market, develop, and design your website to assist in realizing a rewarding and lucrative business. It also comes with a companion CD-ROM. Williams provides timely, real-world examples of the successes and failures of web-based businesses. Though there is a universe of opportunity, there is also a wide margin for failure. Williams walks though the warning signs of potential issues with web-based businesses and provides preventative measures to avoid these pitfalls. Williams also provides a skeletal foundation that will assist in developing a successful online product or service. An added bonus: the publisher is donating a portion of their profits to the Humane Society, on behalf of the passing of their beloved office canine, Bear.

Kohut, MSW, is a powerful examination of an issue that is impacting every school in the world and has profoundly been felt in cities like Littleton, Colorado and Blacksburg, Virginia. More importantly, the book acknowledges that when bullying of children does occur those people often ignore it that youth are supposed to depend on for protection – teachers, parents and authority figures. Yet, because a prevailing philosophy exists that bullying is a part of childhood these individuals have grown accustomed to looking the other way, which Kohurt examines in relation to numerous cases in which the students that were bullied eventually seek retaliation, causing all of society to ask “why?” This book is highly recommended reading for anyone that works with children and that is interested in altering a child’s life so that there will be no more retaliatory acts against bullies and those that appear to support them. Kohur uses her professional experience to examine the law, case studies related to bullying, the affects of bullying on children (short and long term), as well as the teacher and parental role in addressing bullies and aiding children that are their victims.

Newspapers, radio, television telling you about some person who can almost guarantee you’ll make $60,000 by next Tuesday if you follow their web-based business plan - not leaving your home or apartment - just using your computer. Garbage! If the plan they offer is making them $60,000, why are they telling you about it? Who needs more competition? These fly-by-night scammers are like ants at a lakeside picnic. They’re everywhere. However, in Beth Williams new book, Web-Based Business, she will open your eyes with ideas you never thought of; costs, legalities, cautions to look out for, regulations, creating a live-wire website, and much more. I was particularly interested in Chapter 2 – Finding Your Niche. Having tried a small business out of my home years ago, I told myself: ‘this should work.’ Silly me. Where was Beth Williams and her wonderful ideas when I was struggling, and throwing everything against the wall, hoping something would stick? Beth’s point in this chapter is, you have to know what to put on you plate before trying to crack the internet with some hair-brain idea that will only waste your time and, probably cost you money you can’t afford. She suggests, in her book, if you are an expert in some particular field, or can become one, you’ll have a “leg up” on your competition and less likely to fail. She also points out how critical it is to understand your “target market.” What you have to offer and where the potential buyers might be – in terms of age levels, ethnicity, education and even the income levels of your target market. This book really touches all the bases on how anyone can be successful operating a website business. On a star rating scale of 1 – 5 (5 being best) I believe a 4 is warranted for Beth since this is the only book you will need to sharpen your web-based skills. Let me leave you with what I thought was the best and most important six word quote in this particular chapter: Find a niche that excites you! Enough said.

Beth Williams gives a bright picture of what you can achieve starting up your own business in the Net. The Web has become an integral part of our life. No wonder so many people began their exciting and often hazardous undertakings dealing with hundreds or even thousands of customers! With the books like this, it seems simply unreasonable to be in some other business. For those who think of buying this book and rely on the opinions ‘voiced’ in the reviews like mine, I’d like to say that the whole deal is not a piece of cake. Although the author states the beginning of your own web-based business will be smooth, the Mittelspiel and Endspiel of the preparations could really exhaust you. As usual, you will face lots of paper work, legal issues, funding, security, and marketing problems. So, that’s up to you to decide if you will cope with all the difficulties that are on the way. But if you are still hesitating, grab the book and start reading! You will soon jump up from your cozy armchair and, with your tongue dry, set off to realize your new goal. I like this kind of books. They are highly inspirational and give food for thought. Last time I read something like this, I thought of becoming a realtor — now I think of launching a web-based business with my brother. Frankly, I’ve never heard of a man saying, “This and that book showed me how to become prosperous”. However, I AM SURE this book will help me! I know there are other books, but this one was the first I read, so I have chosen it to be my guide. If I succeed, I will let all of you know. A web-based life and work is not VIRTUAL, it’s REAL!
