Why Have An Internet Marketing Business?

"The Internet Gold Rush is under way" Bill Gates, chairman Microsoft Corporation.

Early settlers understood if you are going to build a community, build it near a permanent, abundant source of fresh water. And that's why in all countries around the world, communities were built around streams, rivers and lakes. That's good common sense.

Now let's apply that same wisdom to developing a business.

If you are going to develop a work from home business, develop it near a permanent (or long term), abundant source of cash flow. You'd agree with that wouldn't you? Again that's good common sense.

More succinctly, you identify where huge amounts of money are being spent in a growing industry with good long term prospects.

The Internet complies with these criteria better than any other industry in history. Gold, silver, coal, oil, LPG have all been massive industries but you either had to leave home to stake your claim, invest more than the average person could ever afford before even seeing your first dollar, the resource dried up and the opportunity ended or the industry became obsolete.

If current Internet and e-commerce trends continue, which at the moment there appears to be no reason why they wouldn't, indeed a new age in consumerism has arrived. The statistics speak for themselves.

[U.S. online retail sales are expected to reach $65 billion in 2004, and will continue to grow by a compound annual growth rate of 17 percent through 2008 to top $117 billion, according to a report issued from Jupiter Research.

"Market Forecast: U.S. Retail 2004-2008," the growth in online retail will be due in part to new online buyers, not just veterans, who have come to embrace the medium. Jupiter expects that the online buying population will grow by 14 percent in 2004, representing 30 percent of the U.S. population. By 2008, one-half of the population will make purchases online.

Online retail growth will be fueled by another factor: increased average spending per buyer. In 2004, online buyers are expected to spend an average of $585 person, up from $540 per buyer in 2003. That trend in higher spending is expected to increase over the next five years: Through 2008, average spending per buyer will be close to $780 per buyer.] Taken from an article by Laura Rush, Clickz.com

They are extremely promising statistics and the implications for those of us who are creating an Internet presence now are profound. If you are able to develop an effective Internet marketing business now, your income could grow at a compound rate for the next several years.

There are additional reasons why now is the perfect timing for starting an Internet marketing home business:

The industry has already been successfully pioneered and many of those that trail blazed before you have made available, information about every imaginable facet of Internet marketing. See Internet marketing courses at http://www.007workfromhome.com/internet-marketing-courses.php

Building and developing web sites no longer requires you to learn HTML code. There are several software products that make building web sites easy and enjoyable.

Making your site available on the Internet for other people to visit is very cheap. For example, buying a name can cost less than $6/year (if you know where to go, see cheap domain names) and having it available on the Internet can cost as little as $7 to $8 per month or even cheaper if you're prepared to settle for lower quality standards.

There are hundreds of pre-packaged, ready to go work from home business opportunities that don't require you to build anything. They provide training, resources, web sites and support. Unfortunately, a lot of them are not worth your time. See The Best Work From Home Business Opportunities for the programs that I personally endorse at: http://www.007workfromhome.com/work-from-home-business-opportunity-recommendations.php

You have immediate access to a world-wide market; over 729.2 million (March 2004).

If you sell a digital product distributions costs are practically zero (amazing isn't it!)

Profit margins are very, very high; levels unheard of in the traditional business world.

Your number 1 salesman (your web site) will never take a holiday, working day after day 24/7 for a little at $8/month!

There is no better time than now to begin your business and change the course of the rest of your life. Every journey begins with the first step but no one can take it for you.

Take action now.
