As an aside, I couldn’t help myself … I Googled what are the strangest titles for
For Dummies books, and the top 3 are:
- Anger Management for Dummies (Step 1 is don’t get angry when someone calls you a dummy!)
- Near Death Experiences for Dummies (Step 1 is go towards the light. Step 2 is … not that close!)
- And the third one is Procrastination for Dummies, although no one gets around to reading this one!
Enough stupidity. This is serious stuff!
So settle in as Paul Waddy covers:
- How a clever eComm play can recession-proof your business
- The various ways of integrating eComm in to an existing business
- What you’d need to do to clear $5,000 a month after three months of starting an eCommerce business
