Every day, people use online businesses for their needs and purchases. In fact, I’d be willing to bet that almost all of us have bought a gift for someone online or used a company’s website to access their services. We’ve all probably used eBay.com, amazon.com, or even Walmart.com. Shopping online is quick and convenient, which is why so many people these days are ditching department stores.
We all love the idea of being able to shop from the comfort of our homes. We can browse thousands of products while watching TV, or we can search for millions of videos to watch on websites like YouTube.com. As Americans, we love surfing the web. Even our phones now give us the ability to access the Internet no matter where we are.
Have you ever wondered who made sites like Facebook.com and Amazon.com so powerful? You would think that these extremely popular sites were the product of someone with a highly educated graduate degree in the field of computer science or business management. Someone with years of experience in those fields as well. The fact is, Facebook was founded by a college student in his dorm. Today it is worth billions.
Thanks to all the current technology, any of us could create our own online business and be successful. With the right software and support, we could build our own business and start taking advantage of all the people who buy and do business online. Finally we can be our own bosses and work the hours we want to work. We no longer have to be at the mercy of our employers.
We all probably hear talk on the water cooler about how our job sucks and would love to win the lottery or be our own boss one day. Most of us think it will never happen and will force the thought to the back of our minds. That being our own boss sounds too fantastic to be a real possibility.
We assume that starting a business is fraught with risk and an dire need for capital to start it. We’ve all seen restaurants open with such fanfare and hope failed before the year was out losing every penny the budding restaurateur invested. Retail stores and restaurants are in decline in the real world, possibly due to our sinking economy and possibly the ease of shopping online.
Online businesses are booming. The customer base is constantly growing. Your best chance to be your own boss and run your own business is to take advantage of the Internet. The good news in all of this is that you can be your own boss, choose your work schedule, and do it all in your sweat without leaving the house.
Everyone buys online and enjoys the experience because of the convenience. This means a great opportunity for anyone with a strong online business concept. Now we can experience flexible work hours, a flexible dress code and still earn enough income to pay our bills and something else. This doesn’t happen exclusively to computer science whiz kids or financial whiz kids. With the right software and the right determination and attitude, any of us can be the captain of our own online business and say goodbye to the cubicle.
