Starting an Online Business All-in-One For Dummies®, 3rd Edition

Authors' Acknowledgments

Shannon: My sincere thanks to the entire team at Wiley for making this book a reality. This includes Kyle Looper, Jim Kelly, and my coauthor, Joel Elad. Special thanks goes out to another Wiley team member, Susan Pink, for all her gentle encouragement and direction to keep me on track, and for the many entertaining nuggets of e-mail conversations covering everything from gardening tips to weather conditions. It's truly a privilege to work with this entire team. Thanks also to all those who choose to read this book and who aspire to become entrepreneurs. Your entrepreneurial spirit and dream for a brighter future makes this world go round, and your enthusiasm and energy for new endeavors continue to inspire me.

Joel: My biggest round of thanks has to go to the team at Wiley for their constant and amazing support of this title: Kyle Looper, Rebecca (Senninger) Whitney, my co-author Shannon Belew, James Kelly, and definitely Susan Pink, whose patience and guidance helped make this book, in all its editions, possible. Thanks to my friends and contacts, including Anthony and Yvonne Choi, James Marchetti, Lynn Dralle, and Hans Park, for the contacts, information, and support I needed along the way to fill in the gaps. Finally, I have to give a special acknowledgement to my usual coconspirator, Michael Bellomo, who put me on the path of being an author and keeps me going with a bizarre sense of humor mixed with a powerful dose of inspiration.
