I will listen to this book several times and learn something new every time. AAA+++

the headline is the most important part

I listened to this book while driving and was expecting to hear a slow over complicated book. I finished listening to this book in complete awe, I feel as if I have learned years knowledge and am now equipped to use that knowledge. Thank you for the delightful book.

Helpful internet marketing and beginners but not m

there were a few good ideas but the majority were targeted to a different audience and could be distilled down to about 10, not 101. if you are interested in Internet marketing and selling things over the Internet especially ideas not goods, this would be much more helpful.
