Now, more than ever, we are seeing a new revolution of people starting their own work at home Internet business.

Why are so many people leaving full time jobs, (just over broke) and starting a work at home Internet business?

Just take a look at news. With down-sizing and corporate lay-offs, people realize they do not have a secure job when they see a co-worker of 25 years shaking their hand good-bye.

Another reason, is high speed Internet access and marketing tools that were not available just 5 years ago. To start your own work at home Internet business, you would have to spend a fortune.

Now we have email, autoresponders, search engines, websites, affiliate programs, marketing experts, all of which are now free and instantly available.

Think about this for a moment. Five years ago, starting a work at home Internet business would cost at least a few thousand dollars. Now you can start a home business on Internet for under one hundred dollars.

A (brick and mortar) or traditional business that I owned in year 2000 cost thousands per month for rent, employees, insurance and inventory.

Another factor is job dissatisfaction. Part of this paradigm shift is that people want to own their own life. They don't like idea of being just another number for bottom line of a big corporation or company.

Online shopping has taken over Internet by storm where convenience and simplicity has replaced, or at least complimented, more conventional shopping in specialty stores or malls. Although shopping experience has always been fun and a stress reliever for many, online shopping has become so much norm that it is actually possible to get products at different prices through different websites. In fact, expert online shoppers will also be able to tell you how and which sites you should visit get great bargains.

Price comparison websites

Over Internet, shoppers can visit portals like Shopzilla.com, PriceGrabber.com, Froogle.com and Bizrate.com to conduct price comparisons. These sites compile price information from other websites that are selling items that you are looking for. Therefore, instead of visiting a range of websites to compare prices on your own, you can do this in just one virtual location!

Online Coupons

It’s amazing that many deals that can be found through conventional shopping methods, have a similar virtual version as well. If you are in habit of cutting up discount coupons, you can do same when you do your shopping online. Sites like 247malls.com and MonkeyBargains.com feature special coupons from hundreds of online stores in which you can run a search by store or by a specific product.

Visit store websites first

Make Internet your first point of reference before you visit actual brick and mortar establishments. Most large stores have their own shopping websites which may offer a similar product at a lower price when purchased online. This may be possible through online only discounts or no sales tax charged. Additionally, you can opt for in-store pickups and gain free shipping on top of your special price. This way, you don’t have to spend time visiting different physical stores comparing prices but get best price out of internet.
