Is it too late to set up your own Internet business?
As more and more people stare at potential redundancy as the UK economy continues to go through a very difficult period, a number of people are starting to look at the Internet for their future. However, opinion is very split regarding the Internet and whether the vast majority of opportunities have been taken up leaving very little for those "late to the party".
Thankfully the reality is very different to this downbeat suggestion with marketing and exposure the main elements of a successful website. There is no reason why anybody could not set up their own Internet business tomorrow although whether they would be successful enough to make a full-time career is debatable. You can have the best Internet site in the world but if nobody knows where you are and nobody visits you then you would be dead in the water in just a matter of months. If you have an acceptable website, maybe not the best in the world, but you have exposure and promotion to a worldwide audience then there is no reason why you should not be at least partially successful.
Those who would have you believe the Internet era has passed you by do not understand the market and the fact we have only scratched the surface of the potential of the Internet.
