Internet for Businesses

The Internet is everywhere. You can't turn on the TV, radio, or open a newspaper without hearing about it. Whether it's e-commerce, or the latest success story of some guy who went from rags to riches building his online empire, there's no escaping it.

In traditional ‘old economy’ businesses, it takes around two to three years for a business to start becoming profitable.  In today’s technological era, the Internet has revolutionised the way we do our business.  For a start, the biggest causes of failure in the old economy are cash flow and distribution issues.  You can only start with one shop!  Furthermore, you have invest a lot of money for that shop and give a large deposit if you are renting, which effectively creates a tremendous burden on your cash flow.

In the ‘new economy’, where you would make a website as your virtual storefront, it is possible to ask for payment before you even send-off the goods (please see figure 1).  This can be a huge reduction in exposure. 

The Net is definitely changing the way we do business. No longer is it necessary to drive 20 miles to the office. Just connect to the Network and you can work from home or anywhere you like.  Remember driving to the post office? That will soon be obsolete with the invention of e-stamps, you can now download stamps over a modem directly to your PC. 

Another area that has been simplified is research. No more library cards. With a flick of your finger a wealth of information is available to you. Almost any task you can think of has been simplified thanks to the Internet.

Along with this wondrous invention comes a new term known as "information overload". With the millions of websites out there it's hard to weed through the "junk" to get to the "good stuff". We will help you zero in on the worthwhile sites that will help you run your business more efficiently, and save you money at the same time.

The Internet has made it possible for more and more people to realize their dreams of running their own business. Online entrepreneurs are increasing at an alarming rate. Why not? Never before has it been so simple to market to a global audience, keep your store open 24, 7, and communicate at the speed of light with people all over the world. Businesses being started today have the advantage of the Net to market and promote their products/services. If you're not using it and taking advantage of it's power, you'll end up as cyberkill on the Information Highway.

Statistics show that through the 90's the number of home workers went from only 4 million to over 15.7 million. The virtual office is becoming reality for a large number of people. With the new high speed access of DSL and cable, the waiting time involved with a standard modem will soon become a distant memory.
