Level of Review: Researched. This is not something I want to do, because I prefer writing and web building.

Overview: Book on setting up a Yahoo Store.

Product: His product is the book. Yours is whatever you choose to sell in your store.

Costs: $49.95 for the book, $39 per month for the store. May be additional costs also.

Compensation: Profit from sales, minus cost for store and advertising.

Conclusion: This is similar to eBay selling books. Most promise big bucks while misleading you about the truth of marketing on wherever they are suggesting you market. What he is talking about is setting up a drop ship store through Yahoo Stores. He states that Yahoo is a trusted name and you can get customers who trust you more for that reason, an that simply is not true. It is, again, like eBay, and the individual store owners are more or less reliable, no matter what the provider's terms are. I mention that because he says this more than once. While it is true that you will get a listing with Yahoo that will help market your store, that is the only advantage to choosing that venue. He also uses quite a bit of hype, and I cannot get a reply from his email address. That is the negative.

The positive is that he makes no promises of instant wealth, gives a full money back guarantee, and has a list of things that make you a poor candidate for success with this. If setting up a drop ship store is something you'd like to do, I think this book is a reasonable choice for instructions on how to do it. I am not sure Yahoo is the best venue for it (though Yahoo does try to make it simple), but all of the general marketing instructions can be applied to any online store. Supply info can also be used that way.

I subscribed to his free newsletter, and have been impressed with the solid content of the suggestions. He actually seems to know what he is talking about, and has an understandable conversational teaching style that is well organized and easy to follow. His newsletter is an advertising tool, and as such does promote his product, but it also gives some very solid information, and is far superior in content to similar newsletters. This is the best indication to me that the book is worth the money.

I feel this has enough merit to link to, as long as you understand that this is a store, dependent on having a good product, good marketing, and dependability in shipping products that are ordered. And you won't get anywhere without work.
