A single page of listings could save you days of searching, not to mention thousands of dollars. And then there are strategies, case studies and the insider knowledge that only comes by being in the business — very much more than is shown on our website.

Our$37.50 e-book comes with a 30-day, no-questions-asked guarantee. If not fully satisfied, then simply email us for a prompt and full refund. Material is continually being checked and extended, and purchase includes free six-monthly updates.

The e-book comes as three documents: interlinked webpage compilation for ready reference (2Mb) a sequential webpage compilation (2 Mb) and as a PDF document (4.6MB, 850 pages) for extended reading. The content is the same in all documents, but while the PDF document can be read on all platforms, the webpage compilations can only be read on Windows platforms ( Windows 98x, Me, 2000, XP and Vista machines). Your one-time payment gives you all three documents, plus free updates.

Our January 2011 free update will include a tutorial on collaborative websites and an updated list of internet payment service providers.

Ordering is quick and safe. Simply pay through your account or credit card on Paypal's secure order page for immediate downloading. (Click the 'Redirection to Site' button after payment processing for download instructions.)
