Online Business Books I am Currently Reading

Online business books can inspire new ideas or remind me of things I may not have written about yet. Here is a list of books I am currently reading in hopes of finding good, useful information to add to this site.

Descriptions are by Amazon, not my personal view of these books. I will write a personal review of these as I finish each one.

The Long Tail, Revised and Updated Edition: Why the Future of Business is Selling Less of More

The New York Times bestseller that introduced the business world to a future that's already here--now in paperback with a new chapter about Long Tail Marketing and a new epilogue.

Winner of the Gerald Loeb Award for Best Business Book of the Year

In the most important business book since The Tipping Point, Chris Anderson shows how the future of commerce and culture isn't in hits, the high-volume head of a traditional demand curve, but in what used to be regarded as misses--the endlessly long tail of that same curve.

"It belongs on the shelf between The Tipping Point and Freakonomics."
--Reed Hastings, CEO, Netflix

Web Business Success: The Entrepreneur's Guide to Web Sites That Work

Web Business Success: The Entrepreneur's Guide to Web Sites That Work gives business owners the tips, techniques, and information they need to get an effective Web site online.

When it comes to ecommerce, knowledge is your best defense. If you understand the basics of how a Web site works, the developers, designers, and financial institutions you're dealing with in the process can't talk you into buying technology or services that you don't need or won't do the job.

In Web Business Success the authors explain: how to decide when it is better to take the "do it yourself" approach and when it's time to outsource; how to screen Web developers; how to plan a sales-generating Web site before spending money on design or development; the ins and outs of online payment; and how to market the site and keep visitors coming back.

Authors Susan Daffron and James Byrd wrote "Web Business Success" after years of working with clients who had negative experiences with prior Web developers. After re-developing many sites, the authors realized that their clients had made these costly mistakes earlier simply because of lack of information.

Susan Daffron has been a writer and graphic designer since 1989. She taught herself HTML and hand-coded her first Web site around 1996.

Susan is the author of more than 70 articles that have appeared in national magazines, 250 newspaper articles, online software training, software books, a cookbook, and book chapters.

James Byrd has been a programmer since 1985. Along with his work for his own company, he also was a Senior Internet Developer and then Internet Development Manager for a $100 million ecommerce Web site (and several back-end systems) at women's clothing retailer Coldwater Creek.

During his tenure he managed a team of programmers, developed customer loyalty and credit card programs, and helped keep Coldwater's ecommerce site (spanning four server farms) up, running, and making sales for several years.

"Web Business Success" explains the basics of how a Web site works in easy-to-understand terms. It teaches readers how to communicate and negotiate when dealing with Web developers and designers so they do not get talked into buying technology or services that they do not need, or will not do the job. It also includes a complete index and a glossary of terms.

Amazon's description of Online Business Books can include a lot of hype as the following one does. I'll check it out anyway and let you know what I find.
