ORLANDO, FL -- With the explosive growth of online auction sites such as E-Bay and easy to use e-commerce platforms like 'Yahoo Store!', Home-based entrepreneurs are joining the e-commerce revolution at an incredible rate. At the same time, many of them are falling prey to the abundant “Home Business” scams available on the Internet.

Based on decades of personal experience with computer systems and Internet Ecommerce, Chris Malta, CEO and founder of Worldwide Brands, Inc., has developed a free e-book titled “Starting Your Internet Business RIGHT!”

This free 80-page e-book, currently downloaded 500+ times daily, covers a wide range of topics, including selling on the Internet, comparisons of website businesses versus online auctions, how to choose a host for your website, how to compete with superstores and much more. In addition, the e-book provides a step-by-step checklist for safely starting a home-based business while avoiding the costly traps that so many people waste their time and money on.

"While starting a home-based Internet business can be fairly easy, the entrepreneur needs a variety of services to make it happen," says Malta. "It's easy to get trapped by overpriced Merchant Accounts, bogus Marketing Coaches or fake Product Suppliers, to name a few.

Unfortunately, scam artists have infiltrated every aspect of the industry. After having been scammed personally and learning from my mistakes, I hope to pass along key information that will help others avoid the obstacles I encountered. About 4 out 5 new e-business hopefuls I talk to have been scammed in some form or fashion. I decided to do something about it."

A virtual flood of thank you emails have followed:

Dear Chris:
I would just like to thank you for the incredible information you have provided.  It's amazing how helpful your e-Book was, and it's FREE! A rare thing these days…It’s hard to find honest people on the net and I must have hit the nail on the head with you.
Sincerely,
Henry Schomacker

Dear Everyone There....
After all I've learned, words fail me... all I can say is, thank you.  Thank you for the enormous amount of work, time and effort you put into "Starting Your Internet Business Right."… Thank you for providing the tools and sharing your knowledge, making this old gal's dream a reality.
Best regards,
Elaine  Lopez

Malta encourages readers of the e-book to distribute it freely as long as it is kept intact and in its original form. Malta has advised others writing books on e-commerce and made information from his e-book available to these authors.

“We live in an exciting time when you really can work from your home, make your own hours, be your own boss, and make a very good living at it," continues Malta. "E-commerce is growing at a blistering rate and it’s relatively easy to get into, if you do it right. When I started out, this kind of free information just didn’t exist. Now it does, and I really hope people take advantage of it.”
