Does every business no matter how large or small need a presence on Internet? Absolutely, and not just for traditional reasons, but primarily because your website is an extension of your brick and motor, your home based business, or your business on wheels. Everyone in business of making money can benefit from letting potential customers know who you are and what you’re all about. Competition in new millennium is unyielding. You are a success today and a failure tomorrow. It is your website that will tell customers that you are ready. Ready for what? Whatever changes come your company’s way, you are ready to compete. Your business needs a website because: 1. You want to offer 24 hour customer service. Your customers will be able to visit your Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) page and learn immediately your hours of operation, phone and fax number, address, directions and a map if necessary. Remember customers are not mind readers and if you make getting information about your business too difficult they will simply look elsewhere. 2. You want your business to provide more “bang-for-the-buck.” Customers trust business owners that know their craft and are leaders in industry, even if your business is located in a town with a population of 652. Providing articles, news information about your area of expertise and statistical data on your web site may mean difference between a customer using your business or not using you. 3. You need a sound way to gather data about your customer’s opinions and needs. You need to know what is on your customers mind so you can provide cutting edge customer service and anticipate their needs.

If you choose time, how will you get along financially?Since dawn of Internet, people have been looking for ways to have BOTH lots of time on their hands and lots money in their wallets. It seems like very few of us have broken that secret code that allows us to make a great living without giving up all of our precious spare time. Like a great magician, a great marketer never reveals real tricks of trade...those methods he or she uses to make a great living without sitting at computer for 16 hours a day. Of course they want to keep their techniques a secret; they'd like to keep all money to themselves, right? Just like magicians like David Copperfield want a monopoly on magic, Internet millionaires want a monopoly on success. So what about rest of us? What are we supposed to do? Every day we're bombarded with business opportunities that either rip us off or simply don't work. But we continue to work at it, trying to find that one golden key to easy street. If you have found something that works for you, more power to you. If, like rest of us, you're still struggling to make your big break, keep looking. Success is out there for people who take time to sniff it out.
