>SENDER: J Ellsworth <je@world.std.com>
The INTERNET BUSINESS Book -- a new book about how to do business
on the Internet is now available in bookstores and from the
publisher, John Wiley & Sons.
How would you like to consult with one of the leading experts on
using the Internet for business? The INTERNET BUSINESS Book
offers you that opportunity. This book is the result of extensive
research by a professor, Dr. Jill H. Ellsworth: Internet insider,
Fortune 500 consultant, and author of over two dozen articles and
3 books, and Matthew V. Ellsworth, technical book writer and
publisher of the Internet Demystifier and Monthly Gazette.
The Internet can be used to dovetail with your existing non-
electronic marketing strategies. The INTERNET BUSINESS Book
offers an approach to solid marketing ideas and strategies for
putting your business on the Internet. It deals with acceptable
use policies and customs of the Internet and details what
business activities are appropriate and which are not in the
current Internet environment.
This book is designed with both the new Internet user and
advanced Internet users in mind. For the new user there are
chapters with minimal jargon on Internet background, how to get
access to the Internet, and how to use many of the Internet
search and retrieval tools. The advanced user can easily go
directly to the business oriented sections. In these sections
specific techniques for marketing are explained along with
examples of what businesses are currently doing on the Internet.

provider
