Women in Business: Start Strong review

A $17.99 starter guide for women founders, credited to a PhD in Business Building Without Investment.

Pass

Nothing in the contents list is specific to women founders beyond the title; it is a general start-up overview. Small-business agencies and women's business centres offer the same planning basics free, often with mentors. The co-author, Dr. Martha Andrews, holds the same invented PhD in Business Building Without Investment as two other co-authors in this batch, and shares her surname with four more.

Idea, plan, branding

The listing covers the standard start-up steps.

The women-specific angle is not visible in the contents.

Free support exists

Small-business agencies and women's business centres offer planning help and mentors.

Often at no cost.

The co-author's degree does not exist

The listing credits Dr. Martha Andrews with a PhD in Business Building Without Investment and 31 years of experience. No university awards a doctorate in that, and it is the pattern across the more than 120 titles from this seller in our catalogue: each book gets its own doctor with a PhD in exactly that book's subject.

Three of those names appear twice with different doctorates and different decades of experience, so the credentials are generated rather than held.

The rest of the numbers are decoration

Claims 434000+ readers, although the seller has no website, no catalogue page and no way to check. The $47 regular price sits next to $17.99 on every title in the catalogue and is never charged.

The reviews carry first names and US or European cities, which cannot be verified either.
