The website is a treasure-trove of information, written in a simple, "easy to understand and act" format that should quickly guide the entrepreneur to realizing the e-commerce dream.

"The prospects in B2C e-commerce are phenomenal. Forrester Research is predicting total online spending in the UK alone to hit about 76 billion by 2011, with over 32 million online shoppers. This presents an excellent opportunity for aspiring entrepreneurs and small businesses to cash in on the continuing growth of e-commerce by identifying the right niche markets and products to sell via the Internet," says Steve Smith of Internet-Retailer.com.

The guide also covers relatively newer methods such as effectively using community forums and blogs for cost-effective marketing.

This guide will hopefully provide that," says Steve. "Experienced e-commerce website owners and other Internet marketing-based businesses are also encouraged to use the guide as I am sure there is something of value for them as well. Moreover, we’d welcome inputs from such people based on their own successes and challenges to continue to enhance this guide."
