major internet businesses

Starting an internet business - ever given it real thought? Would this be potentially something that might suit you? If you have ever dreamt of getting out of the "rat race" and working for yourself, then this may be what you're looking for.

Here are two extremely compelling reasons as to why starting an internet business is something to give serious consideration to.

1. No major barriers to entry / low start-up costs.

Bet you'd find it difficult to name any other business where there are no barriers to entry, and set-up costs that are practically negligible!

Everyone is equal in the eyes of the web; regardless of education, age, race, creed or sex. Issues like geography or income levels are no longer a hindrance or a barrier. Anyone can set up a website and get a profitable web business up and running.

There are really only three main start-up costs involved when starting an internet business: (i) a domain name - approx. $10 a year, (ii) a hosting account - approx. $10 a month, (iii) anautoresponder - approx. $20 a month. So for the grand sum of around $40, you could have the bones of your very own web business.

2. Low operating costs.

In addition to the low investment required upfront for starting an internet business - once you have it setup, the unbelievable thing is that it takes low operating expenses to actually run it.

This is where this model would differ greatly from a traditional style "bricks 'n' mortar" type business, where there would be large overheads like rent, furniture & equipment, insurance, staff, electricity, vehicles etc.

With starting an internet business you have the luxury of working from home, or anywhere in the world you please. You would outsource all the work you need done as it arises, thereby eliminating any insurance, pension contributions, or bonus costs etc, related to full-time staff.

***NOTE***

When starting an internet business, it is important to be aware that none of the above points mean that you are guaranteed success.

Starting an internet business should be viewed as a serious business venture, one in which you thoroughly learn the workings behind the scenes, and put time into applying the strategies taught.

To really increase your chance of success, not to mention, to drastically speed up your learning period, so that you can get earning money quicker - it is particularly wise to sign up to a mentor / coach, who has a proven track record for helping people attain their goals.

Be sure to research reviews of potential mentors on Google first, to see what others are saying about them. For those interested, you can get information on someone very highly recommended, when you click the link at the very end of this article.
