Review
"Ravi's book can save you time and money by covering the basics -- and pitfalls -- that every online entrepreneur should know." -- Rob Frankel, Branding expert and Author of "The Revenge of Brand X: How to build a Big Time Brand on the web or anywhere else."
"This is truly an exceptional work covering e-business from soup to nuts... everything a beginner needs to know and everything an experienced Internet marketer should know. -- I give it 5 stars." -- J.F. (Jim) Straw, BusinessLyceum.com
Patrick Kilhoffer, President of Direct Connections International Inc. -- "...I would recommend this book to anyone who is serious about making money from their website."
"This book is destined to become the "Bible" for internet marketing newbies. So if you are starting your business on the internet, or moving your existing business on to the internet, I have Four Words of advice for you: Buy This Book First!" -- Allen Weber, DynamicEnterprisesGroup.com
From the Author
This is a book is more about the "What" that comes before the "How".
This is about what you need to know to start and run an e-Business even before you begin to think about how to do any of them; this book details the ground-work you need to do before you begin the actual work.
This book gives you a blueprint, but won't build a house for you; this book is a roadmap, but can't actually drive you there; this book is your shovel, but won't dig a foundation for you.
If you have ever wondered how to start your own web site and sell a product or service online, then this is the only no-hype, no-nonsense, no-fluff book you will find anywhere, that not only gives you the facts as they are, but also points you towards an un-biased list of resources - from the very best products and services to the cheapest, most inexpensive and the most efficient formula to run your e-Business.
Having been in e-business myself for over 11 years, I have discovered and discarded many products and services. During all those years of building my e-business by trial and error, I've gone through many trials, and committed a lot more errors than I would have liked to. In hindsight, I am glad that it happened the way it did, because I wouldn't know what I know today without all of those experiences, and I would never have been enough of an expert to write this book. But the price of figuring it out all on your own is far too great.
This price will be a lot less, and the learning curve a lot less steep, if you learn directly from those who have explored the rough seas before you and provided you with a map.
Know that saying about smart people learning from other people's mistakes? I have spent countless hours and thousands of dollars purchasing and using some awesome products - while running into many duds along the way. This book is a culmination of everything I've learned; and also a laundry list of everything I've had to unlearn.
Simply absorb what I have shared here, and I promise you will be miles ahead of the rest of the pack.
This book is a manifesto about everything that needs to be done to launch and run a successful e-business. But remember: there is a big difference between knowing and doing. Not everyone can become successful simply by watching the successful. That is why there is only one Michael Jordan, one Seth Godin, and one Mother Theresa.
This book will empower you with an insider's overview about all components that go into the making of a successful e-business.
So, without further ado, get a copy of the book today, and let's get down and dirty in creating your very own e-business that will make you money while you are at your regular day job, while you are on vacation, and even while you sleep!

About the author
Ravi Jayagopal is a Business Coach, Entrepreneur, 8-time Author, Podcaster, WordPress Developer, Digital Marketer, Speaker, and also an Amateur Ventriloquist :-)
He is the Co-founder & Co-developer of DigitalAccessPass.com, a membership plugin & marketing platform for WordPress. Ravi launched his first website in 1997 and has been selling digital products online for the past 25 years. He has consulted with, and coached, thousands of his clients and helped them create a profitable online business using digital products, membership sites, and recurring subscriptions.
He was the first Indian ever (back in 1998 when he was still living in India) to sell a physical book online to an international market. After failing at two brick-n-mortar businesses in India, he moved from India to New York in 2000, taking on a programming job. As a hobby, working nights and weekends, he developed and marketed the world's first download protector software for PayPal and ClickBank.
In 2007, he wrote his first book called "No Business Like E-Business" which went on to become an Amazon category best-seller at the time. He invented "Content Dripping" and co-founded the world's first membership plugin for WordPress, Digital Access Pass (DAP), which was the first software ever to do content dripping, along with his wife.
He is the host of the podcast "Subscribe Me" at SubscribeMe.fm, where he talks all about the making, marketing, and monetizing of online digital content. He is also the author of a book by the same name, "Subscribe Me".
Ravi is also the creator of WordPress plugins S3MediaVault.com and CoolCastPlayer.com.
Coming from humble beginnings in India, Ravi today is a successful entrepreneur, and through his family foundation in India, he and his wife give back to Indian children and communities in need.
Ravi lives in San Diego, CA with his wife Veena Prashanth (co-founder of DAP), 2 amazing kids, and a male dog inexplicably named Vanilla!

I have to say that the book gives a good overview of doing business on the internet. It also includes some finer details to consider when designing and building your website, that many people wouldn't think of.
As one other reviewer stated, I am sure that much of the information from the book can be found elsewhere. However, it is extremely helpful to have one book that you can keep next to your computer and refer back to on a number of topics. Obviously, it is not the last book you will ever need, but it definately a good one to start with, and I do not regret this purchase!
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.
This having been said, the strength of the detail, however unorganized and poorly presented, carries this book. You can learn a lot from it, but you will work for the knowledge.
- What it takes design/host/run e-business website AND make money from it.
- email clients/improve browsing productivity this is for you!
- Want to know what blogging is check this book out?
- Wanted a list of all cool websites for internet e-business/blogging etc. this book lists some of these great websites!
The best part I liked was you don't have to start from the first page and go through the entire book. You can just pick a section which interests you and read that
