You Have an Internet Business But Know Virtually Nothing About How the Internet Works

Did you know that 12% of all Americans own a small business of some type? Many of these businesses are home businesses, nearly 35% and of those over a third are Internet businesses. It’s amazing how many people have businesses on the Internet or derive at least some of their income through website sales or other Internet endeavors; such as selling stuff on eBay, consulting over the Internet or selling content. It’s a huge industry.

Still, most people do not even know how the Internet works and yet they derive income from doing business online. If you do any type of business online you should know exactly how the Internet works, how things are connected and how the flow of information actually happens. Perhaps, this is why I recommend that Internet entrepreneurs and people that sell online do a little reading so they understand the dynamics and all the behind-the-scenes of the Internet.

Therefore, I’d like to recommend a very good book for you. Although this book was printed some time ago, over a decade ago; it still has very good information about the inner workings of the Internet and its history. This will give you a good basis of knowledge and then you can catch up on the latest and greatest things the Internet has to offer, all of which came later. The book is titled;

“The Internet Business Book,” by Jill H. Ellsworth and Matthew V. Ellsworth; John Wiley and Sons; 1994.

On this book subtitle, it claims it is also a Complete Guide to;

1.) What the Internet is and how to gain access;
2.) Marketing and creating a corporate presence;
3.) Sales, advertising and customer support;
4.) Business, marketing and sales resources

Indeed the book lives up to this claim and I highly recommend it, as I have a copy in my own personal library and every once in a while I take a peek to remind me exactly how the Internet works when I am scheming up some new type of entrepreneurial endeavor online. So, please consider this.
