There are many obvious reasons to have an internet business. Like the desire to make money, the freedom of working from home or anywhere else that you want to go. Most internet businesses just require a laptop and the discipline to use it. Or, for many it may help bridge other demands such as raising a family or someone that may live in a remote place or is restricted to travel.

But let me go a little deeper.

1. Share in this fast growing market The computer has truly revolutionized the world in many ways and it is truly changed the business world. Internet commerce keeps growing each year and internet advertising is one of the fastest growing market segments.

2. The internet is the great equalizer. Although there are big corporations carving out segments of this market, there is still room for the little guy. If one has the ambition and is willing to learn, there are plenty of opportunities to be had.

3. Low Initial Capital Input If you are low on cash but own a computer, you can start you own internet commerce business. I am involved with one very profitable business that one can get started with as low as $20 .00

4. A Global Reach Let’s face it, a brick and mortar shop will only get you so far. You can expand opening new stores or selling franchises all of which requires much capital. But, with the internet you can go much farther, much faster. I have lived on 3 continents in the last 2 years and the rest of the world is clamoring to get online.

5. It’s your business Allow me to be a little romantic here, but there is nothing to compare with the pride of owning your own business. If one can grasp the concept and is willing to make the commitment and sacrifice, their future is boundless.

I spent over 35 years in business and commerce. It was my University Degree and economics has always been a passion of mine. I hope to utilize the skills that I have learned into helping others who are striving to raise their selves to a better tomorrow.
