I’m building an online company, and am looking for books that provide example framework, and steps to consider. Any recommendations?? (I found The online startups for dummies Book, but reviews say it’s too out of date now)
I think many of the other recommendations, while interesting books, don’t serve as a good framework. I’d recommend you check out The Startup Owner’s Manual (https://www.amazon.com/Startup-Owners-Manual-Step-Step/dp/0984999302). It’s a playbook for starting a company and finding product-market fit. All the people I know with successful startups or big exits point to that book as the best book on the subject.
FWIW, buy the hardcover book if you can. I have it in hardcover and on my Kindle and the formatting on the Kindle is a bit rough.

Are you looking for frameworks on building a successful startup / company?
Or are you looking for online-specific marketing advice?
Hi Rick! I'm looking for framework
3 of my favorites when I was first starting were:
The E-Myth -- https://www.amazon.com/Myth-Revisited-Small-Businesses-About/dp/0887307280/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=emyth&qid=1578419679&sr=8-1
Built to Sell -- https://www.amazon.com/Built-Sell-Creating-Business-Without/dp/1591845823/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=built+to+sell&qid=1578419672&sr=8-2
Startup CEO - A Field Guide to Scaling Up Your Business, Website -- https://www.amazon.com/Startup-CEO-Business-Blumberg-2013-09-03/dp/B01MQH1DQK/ref=sr_1_17?keywords=startup+ceo&qid=1578419703&sr=8-17
I recommend https://robwalling.com/ ( many books are yesterday's news)
I recommend looking at SaaStr University: https://saastruniversity.mn.co/all-courses.
As far as books go, check out The CEO Within by Matt Mochary. I wrote a summary of the book here: https://nucks.co/great-ceo-within-matt-mochary. It's by far the best book I've read with great tactical advice on growing a startup.
If that's not what you were looking for, can you clarify what types of frameworks you are looking for?
I looked at the preview for The CEO within and it looks helpful! Thanks for the recommendation
