It's occurred to we in recent times that the key to operating a
sucessfulsmall business is keeping your overheads down, especially in the
early stages. Also, with the job market being tough, there's a drive for more
people to become self employed. These two factors combined seem to be pushing
more and more people towards looking at internet marketting and internet
based businesses.
Does anyone else see this as a large growth area? Will we see more regulation
of this type of business in the future do you think?

I am new to the internet home-based business. I can definitely say that time
and effort is very much needed. Also, Vista Print, and BigCommerce to name a
few are great and inexpensive for websites. You will have to have some
knowledge of HTML's and so forth but that's what you have the internet for.
Whenever I was confused I researched about it. I had lots of 8-10 days, after
working my 8-hours shift at work. Yes, no sleep for me! But the hard part is
getting setup then, it's smooth sailing from there. Hope this helps!

Yes getting set up is the hard part. As you said very time consuming but
anything worth having does not come easy.

All the mention things are true about internet business. This is a good idea
and internet usage going increase day by day. So there is good opportunity to
start with this. There is only need is commitment. If you are self motivated
person then you this is a good platform for small business.
I think the Internet is definitely an area where we'll see a lot of growth
and opportunities for the small businesses - and that was happening for the
last 15 years already. The trend will continue, no doubt. It's an efficient
way of doing business, but it's also an efficient way of doing consuming, so
to speak.
So it is a win-win for businesses and consumers.
Some businesses are better suited than others to work online though - some
business models simply cannot be translated into online business models,
although even those businesses should benefit from using the internet and the
social media as a marketing platform to connect with customers and build
brand awareness.
Internet gives the freedom to research any topic well. And the best part is
wherever your location is, your web business can be easily accessible by
anybody, in which ever part of the world he/she may be.

I'm not necessarily even thinking about big business, more about the
opportunity for small, home based businesses to grow and thrive. A properly
constructed website can be just as big of a tool for a small business as a
fortune 500 especially at a local level. Most people just don't know where to
start when it comes to websites. Is like to see a bigger push towards
educating entrepreneurs on the effective use of the web, and its potential
for low start, low overhead business opportunities.
With some attention I think this could stimulate significant growth in the
economy and reduce unemployment in with the deal. Most people would be able
to build and market a decent site for $1000 or less if they knew how to do
some of the work themselves.
Need to raise funds? Be careful who you borrow from - bad decisions can
cripple your new business so do a little looking around before you committ.
Internet provides the perfect opportunity for small businesses in many ways.
It doesn't require large initial investments, promotional methods on the
internet are the cheapest and provide the highest conversion rates and ROI,
it allows for easier management as you can take care of your business form
anywhere there's a computer and many more. I own such a business and can
testify for the great advantages it offers.
I think that the internet is gonna be apart of BIG business. You already know
that there are many different internet companies that are held on the Fortune
500, Therefore, your internet venture could also be a big business as well as
becoming on the fortune 500 someday.
