Not long ago, a vacation that entailed travelling across much of
U.S. helped me reflect a bit about my Internet business, and reminded me of powerful advantages of doing business online. Let's consider just a few of them...1) Generate Multiple, Self-Sustaining Income Streams
The Internet allows you to generate multiple streams of income that are more or less on autopilot; an advantage which most types of businesses (and jobs) simply don't offer. While I was on vacation, my online business continued to generate paid orders on auto-pilot.
2) Internet Businesses are Portable
As I tossed around possibility of relocating to beautiful countryside area that I visited on vacation, I was reminded how most people are geographically tied to their jobs.
Unfortunately, where most people live is largely dictated by where they work. And if they don't live near their jobs, lots of commuting is required, a major headache.
However, if you earn your income online, you have flexibility of living and working most anywhere that you want, as long as you have Internet access. There aren't many businesses or jobs that give such freedom to choose where you live.
Since you can operate an online business from home, your commute to work may involve nothing more than a leisurely stroll from your breakfast table to your desktop computer. No traffic hassles, office politics, or related headaches.
3) Low Startup and Overhead Expenses
Low startup and overhead expenses mean low risk. If you try opening a retail store, manufacturing plant or other offline business, chances are you'll need several thousand dollars just to open your doors, let alone pay monthly bills. Not so with an Internet business, which you can start, build, promote and maintain on a shoestring budget.
