You probably already do some form of advertising. And if you don’t… well everyone has company letterhead, business cards etc.. Even restaurants pass out flyers and give menus to their guests. When you're on the Internet you can print your web address on of your materials or advertising, allowing those who otherwise wouldn’t contact you to do so in the privacy of their own home or office. Internet businesses boast a whopping 40% increase in business on the average. You must use the Internet as a tool to grow your business, not just as a place to advertise.
A web page is a salesperson for your businessA web page is a salesperson for your business

Hundreds of thousands of companies and millions of people all around the world have connected to the Internet over the last five years, proving that this medium is not only effective but that it is here to stay. Unfortunately as with all great successes there are also sad tales of intense failure.
One mans misfortune often leads to another mans fortuneOne mans misfortune often leads to another mans fortune
As with most great failures there are often equally great lessons to be learned. The companies and individuals who have discovered and applied those lessons are achieving great results. Today we have learned lessons about this phenomenal medium (the Internet) that could only have been gained through trail and error. We have the multimillion dollar investments of big business to thank for these lessons.
The e-commerce business students of today are, for the first time since the inception of the Internet, being taught that LOCALIZATION, not globalization is the key to success on the world wide web. The power of the Internet is not only its global reach but also, its ability to effectively target customer bases on a local level.

Internet MistakesInternet Mistakes
A critical mistake that many Internet ventures made was to try and expand their business into vast geographic regions or even globally, without having first prepared for the logistical challenges or the enormous marketing costs involved.
Those who did realize this, made an entirely different mistake. They offered too much information. Often most of the information these enterprises offered was irrelevant and of no relation to the reason which originally attracted visitors to their web sites. The result was that people came, looked once and, not wishing for another information overload, never came again.

The more you invest, the more you will profit.The more you invest, the more you will profit.
The same people who made the first two mistakes that we discussed most likely made this mistake as well. As with every form of marketing, it is always wise to test a new idea before you invest heavily in promotion. Why so many businesses ignored this obvious fact, with regards to their Internet investments, is a mystery to us. It is true that the Internet has enormous potential to increase profits in almost every business venture imaginable, but, it is also true that the amount of money needed to realize this potential does not have to be equal to the potential. The Internet is, by it’s very nature, a perfect medium for placing information about your businesses product or service in clear view of your prospective buyers. This does not require big financial investment , but...
