A guide from an expert not a Guru spouting nonsense!

One of the best guides around because it's written from the heart by a guy who has burned the shoe leather and walked the path he talks about. There are too many 'guru' type guides springing up from authors who know nothing about their subject apart from their research on the internet. They then regurgitate to information verbatim whereas this book is experienced based. A real motivational guide to getting up onto your feet, leaving the 9-5 Rat race and working for yourself. Five stars all day long!

I like this book because the information on the top ten supplements is delivered in a clear matter of fact manner, without the overblown claims one sometimes reads in supplement descriptions.  The reasons why a supplement may be needed are explained, recommended dosages and the reasons why not to take them in some cases.  There is additional information on the foods where the vitamins occur naturally.  A no-nonsense, no fluff and useful guide.

This guide is direct and to the point.  Even I learned some new things to incorporate into my Wedding shoots.  I really enjoyed reading this book;  simple English, easy to understand and picture thoughts in your mind while being read.  One of the better books that I have downloaded!  I definitely recommend this book for a levels of expertise......

In previous publications, Mish Slade has offered guidance on how to&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Protect-Your-Tech-Your-geek-free-guide-to-a-secure-and-private-digital-life/dp/B00OQI68A8/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Protect Your Tech: Your geek-free guide to a secure and private digital life</a>,<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Travel-Like-A-Pro-Road-Tested-Tips-for-Digital-Nomads-and-Frequent-Travelers/dp/1508701407/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Travel Like A Pro: Road-Tested Tips for Digital Nomads and Frequent Travelers</a>, and&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Travel-While-You-Work-The-Ultimate-Guide-to-Running-a-Business-from-Anywhere/dp/B013YF0TOY/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Travel While You Work: The Ultimate Guide to Running a Business from Anywhere</a>. Now, shes out to tackle boring business writing with her latest work: May I Have Your Attention, Please? Your Guide to Business Writing That Charms, Captivates and Converts. In twelve pithy chapters, Slade (cl)aims to help readers learn - among other things - how to Show what you stand for, Be a human, Sell the sizzle, Stay lean, and Crush bad grammar. How dare she?!

Just because she and her husband have successfully built a location-independent empire that not only comfortably supports their globe-trotting lifestyle but also inspires budding entrepreneurs around the world to give life to their own dreams . . .

Or because shes written and published multiple books and articles in her own areas of expertise and reams of copy for professional clients across the globe . . .

Or because her breezy but sophisticated writing style makes such mundane topics as market analysis and grammar both accessible and fun, itself representing the antithesis to boring, predictable business writing . . .

Were supposed to trust her to help us improve the quality of our writing and better market our products and services to (potential) clients?! The nerve!

As if that weren't enough, Slades latest work comes with a bonus: free enrollment in a Business Writing Bootcamp, complete with downloadable activity sheets and templates, deconstructions of excellent business writing to see what works, and personal help from the author herself! Just who does she think she is?! Clearly, those who will find this book useful are limited to:
  * Businesses that aim to do a better job of reaching their target audience and building rapport with customers
  * Professionals who want to improve their writing and take their business communication to the next level
  * Anyone who writes for business and hopes to set their work apart as exceptional in the endlessly repetitive sea of marketing copy out there

Who wants to trade in their good-enough business writing for a repertoire that charms, captivates, and converts, anyway?

Well written. The info is thought out well and the advice sounds sound from some one with experience. I bought the e-book, read the sample and I was sold. Buy it!

Great guide for computer challenged person! I am not computer literate and this was written for me!!!!! It is done with a sense of humor that takes the sting out of not being as smart as your grandchildren! My new computer had been" locked up" and with the authors help, I got it working again. I was so shocked that  I could figure out my problem and resolve it. This  book will be in my library next to my other reference books, although they are not quite as colorful!

Many of the small "informational" e-books on the market are a lot of fluff and not much more.  Some of them are just the author's questionable opinion.  This book is a pleasant surprise.  It is filled with good ideas that I don't have to wade through a lot of nonsense to get to.  Thanks to the author for leaving ego behind and presenting an easily read guide to tiny house living.

I own an online cookie gift business, a part of a trading education business and work with other web properties that I have built.  I was looking for a collection of insider tips and tricks for SEO, site optimization, list building etc.  Ravi's book is packed with nuggets that will help anyone currently managing a web business, or looking to start one, to make it better.  While much of this information can be found scattered across the web, I find it helpful to get a compilation in one place from someone that has worked with the technology, explains the pros and cons, and makes recommendations.  While it is not a complete in-depth study on all the topics, there is more than enough meat to make it worth the time to read.  I'd recommend you keep a notebook handy to capture tips along the way.

If you are a total newbie looking for a step by step, hold-your-hand guide that will make you an instant Internet millionaire, this is not your book (I'm not sure what will fill that need).

A couple of the chapters are a little light on content and seemed to lack closure on the topic, hence my reduction of a star.  Otherwise, his writing style is casual,  very conversational and easy to follow - I like that.  I rate a business book based on whether or not it provided more value than the price and my time invested - this one delivered that many times over for me.

A number of the books in this area are little more than clever infomercials for the writer.  No doubt Ravi has products to sell, but this book is not simply an intro to up sell you more of his services.  He shares real insight and information in a straightforward and simple manner that, if implemented, will benefit your e-business and the bottom line.  That's worth a read.

Joe's book is written in very reader friendly fashion. It skips all of the fluff that the so called "Gurus" like to put out there. There are many real world case studies and samples from his actual deals rather than theory that you'll find in other RE books. A great no nonsense read!!! Highly recommend!

This book was a great read. Even for a rookie like me who is living abroad and enjoys short term traveling found this book useful. Packed with information that's backed by good reasoning, i say why not give this book two thumbs up! Easy to read where I can easily refer back to some sections for reference  and not overwhelming with too much tips and tricks. Ready for smooth sailing!

I don't get where people are saying it's not written for the layman. I don't consider myself to be extraordinarily intelligent, but I found this to be pretty easy to follow and understand. Great book, I highly recommend it to anyone.

Having read some less than favorable reviews, I think it's fair to provide an opinion as to what this book is, and what it is not. I believe that this book is intended as a guide addressing how to set up a retail sales business from scratch, establish sales channels with wholesalers, and begin selling successfully.

To use an analogy, if you want to start a restaurant, you don't need a commercial cookbook; you need a guide that covers leasing or buying a restaurant space, obtaining the correct licenses, inspections, and permits, hiring and training staff, payroll services, tax collection, payment processing, and a thousand other things. A recipe book isn't going to help you before you have all those things in place. Conversely, if you're an experienced restauranteur,  such a guide would be essentially useless; you need more recipes.

This isn't a "recipe book". If you want a list of wholesale sources and contacts, then this is not the book for you, but if you want a guide that will cover, step-by-step, how to start a business and get up and running, you'll be extremely pleased.

The book is laid out in a logical fashion, with early chapters covering options on how to register a company, set up to collect sales tax, and establish an online retail presence. as the book progresses, it addresses strategies for contacting wholesalers and successfully attending trade shows. The book is filled with references and links to extremely useful online tools and services.

The book is presented in a no-nonsense, straightforward way, with "homework assignments" at the end of every chapter. These are very useful stopping points that allow one to achieve the objectives covered in the chapter.

In conclusion, if (like me) you have dabbled in e-commerce up until now, and want to take the next step and set up a serious sales business, this book will be your guide. I thought that $75.00 was a small investment to make in such a business.

The author has a good no-nonsense presentation style that doesn't overwhelm you with jargon.

While the information is, for the most part, laid out in an easy to follow, linear style. My only complaints:

He starts out in chapter one diving right into technical details about digital certificates, web hosting, shopping carts and so on.

I would recommend that the current chapter 2 be moved into the chapter 1 location, while the current chapter 1 becomes chapter 2. This would enable the reader to get a good dose of the foundational material before proceeding to the gory technical details.

However, don't let that put you off buying it. Bruce Brown has great communication skills, and is able to break the material down Romper Room style so that anyone should be able to understand. Yet, he doesn't just gloss over the details, he just makes them easier for a layman to understand.

Easy to  read, easy to understand and step by step instructions!

This guide is great! It's not excellent but the content contained does help and answer some elementary questions that you may have about basic things like weapon enchanting and alchemy lab using. It has decent information and it's worth picking up a copy, overall I'm pleased!

As an experienced, though by no means expert, property investor in Australia, I wasn't sure whether Property Prosperity would be pitched at my level or too high or too simplistic. I was delighted when it arrived to see that the volume of information it contained managed to express some of the 'basics', as well as specific processes and charts that will help me with my next purchase and onwards towards prosperity.

Miriam is not just knowledgeable in the area of property investment - she brings a realism that many other "Get Rich with Property, No Money Down" style books seem to gloss over. As a guide for those who want to build wealth with property and keep it, I can (and have) recommend Property Prosperity.
