REVIEW: MAKING MONEY ON THE INTERNET, Glossbrenner/Glossbrenner McGraw-Hill Internet authority Alfred Glossbrenner has written over 20 books on computers, ranging from communications to software. His significant other, Emily, joins him in producing MAKING MONEY ON THE INTERNET, a title that deals with a very touchy and sensitive issue - the commercial use of Net resources. As any business-oriented and entrepreneurial type can readily see, an entity that has a user base of more than 30 million users and growing represents the marketing opportunity of the century! The big question is: how to use it profitable without violating the conventions regarding net abuse? The Glossbrenners have given us some of the answers. MAKING MONEY ON THE INTERNET assumes no previous Net knowledge or experience. After telling you how to get connected, the Glossbrenners tell you how to use the Net resources, such as a World Wide Web "home page", mailing lists and newsgroups to sell your product or service. They'll also tell you what to avoid doing that may end up with you getting "flamed". As with INTERNET 101 by Alfred Glossbrenner, HOW TO MAKE MONEY ON THE INTERNET is focused for a specific readership. It shows how to use the Net and covers the basics - access, tools and features and how to use them. Its well written in the style and manner I expect from a Glossbrenner book. More important, this book will help the businessperson to integrate the Net with their operations in a manner that is acceptable and in good taste. No "Canter and Siegel" type abuse here! Also covered is essential information on security, passwords and encryption to protect yourself from some of the not-so nice types out there in Net-land. At $20.00 (or less than the cost of a business lunch) its an excellent investment. And, if used to further your business, its probably deductable! %T Making Money on the Internet %A Alfred and Emily Glossbrenner %I McGraw-Hill %C New York %D 1995 %O $19.95 %G ISBN: 0-07-024050-7 %P 306 pages paperbound %K Internet, business (C) 1995 Michael Crestohl Nahant Massachusetts USA mc@shore.net DISCLAIMER: I have no interest, financial or otherwise, in the success or failure of the book or materials reviewed herewith, nor have I received any compensation (other than a review copy requested by me) from anyone who has.
