Many people say that it is a bad time to start a business when the economy is unstable. I say rubbish! In fact, when it comes to online business, the best time to start is the time when the economy is bad. I will share with you why I think so in this article. But first let me share with you that everyone can start an online business with very small investment. In many case, all you need is to buy a domain name (which will cost you $10 per year), a hosting service (which will cost you $10 per month) and a step-by-step online business blueprint (which may cost you from $47 - $97). Therefore, you can actually start an online business with less than $100.
Here are 3 reasons why I think now is a great time to start an online business.
Although the USA and most countries in Europe are suffering from economy slowdown, the other part of the world which has the most population is experiencing economy growth. For example, countries like China, India, Indonesia and many others are actually experiencing economy growth. And mind you, these countries have HUGE population and Internet has become a common tool for them to access information as well. If you are a businessmen at heart, I think you should be able to see the income opportunity in these countries. And what business is better then the Internet business to reach these people without you having to fly thousands of miles to meet your potential buyers? Do you see the opportunity now? I hope you do!
The world is your oyster! With Internet business, you can reach potential buyers all over the world. As long as people have internet connection and computer, they can visit your website and see what you have to offer.
Here is the second reason why I think now is the best time to start an online business. People all over the world are sick and tired of working from 9 to 5. They want to be able to work at home. What business is better than online business? With online business, all you need are a computer and Internet connection to start. You can literally start a profitable internet business from the comfort of your home.
The third reason why you should start an online business now is that this business requires very small expenses for maintenance. Once you have set up your website, all you need to do is to spend time getting traffic to your website. Your website will act like your salesman for 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. If you are in a brick and mortar business, you won't be able to hire a salesman that can works for you 24 hours a day - no way!
So, that is why I strongly believe that now is the best time to start an online business. It is easy to start and it requires very small monetary investment. You do need to make an effort to design and create your business website or you can outsource this to other people. You can easily get someone to set up your simple business website for less than $100. There are a lot of great templates for you to choose and all these are free.
Hope this article can help to give you some motivation to start your own online business.
