Internet’s Negative Effects On Business

Due to the HUGE mindset shift in the 21st century nearly every single business (apart from you local grocery store) turns over to the internet to seek expansion.

Internet’s effects on any business can go both ways: Positive or Negative, but those who are willing to educate themselves on how to prosper using the internet soon understand that the investment is “Oh So Worth It!”

Why Even Bother?

I could have spent 6 hours out of my day in order to research all the negative effects of the internet on business, but I just don’t see a need to… There are far too many Positive effects to choose from:

1. Unlimited Market Share. How much time would it take to a local furniture store go national or even worldwide? I’d say a good 10-15 years of steady business growth. But in the reality there aren’t many stores that exceed the neighborhood limits.

Internet uncovers a huge deal of possibility and market share to anyone who is willing to get familiar with it. You can target PPC campaigns using demographics, languages and areas of interest – Driving targeted, ready-to-buy traffic straight to your website. Or you can use SEO in order to attract people using a certain keyword phrase.

Internet is fully customizable and you get to choose your customers – not the other way around.

2. Low Start Up investment. If you were to start a business, you would have to deal with large start up costs, ending up asking for loans from the bank and risking sinking in a deep debt.

On the internet, however, you can start a business WITH NO START UP COST whatsoever. It still amazes me how simple it is now days to make money online. You just have to be willing to invest time and energy into it – money is no longer a mandatory start up resource.

3. Working From Home. Working from home beside your family members, watching your kids grow and not missing the first step, tooth or word – for me it is an amazing experience.

I had my share of “9 to 5″ and one thing I always hated is to take the bus to work. It took me approximately an hour to get to work and then another one to get back home.

It was so damn frustrating working an 8 hour work day and spending 2 more hours in bus trips. Now, I can start working 5 minutes within waking up. All I need is my laptop and a cup of hot coco – I’m all set!

Those are just 3 basic off the top of my head reasons why I wouldn’t even consider not starting an internet business.

What’s Stopping YOU?

I can hear many of you screaming at me: “I don’t have any computer skills, bla, bla, bla,” Frankly, you don’t need any. You can hire people to do all the work for you while you enjoy your time or invest it in something you DO KNOW how to do – spending quality time with your family.

I make at least eight videos like the one above a week that I either sell or giveaway to help business owners and their teams get the best out of my low cost alternative to small business accounting software such as Quickbooks or Peachtree or Sage (the video above took me one hour to make). There is a lot of hype about information marketing and there are unscrupulous marketers all over the internet who will try and take your money in exchange for showing you methods that simply won’t work, here is a method that does. I would recommend you take the time to design and create your own product (digital content) as the margin you earn will be higher and you have the added benefit of learning from your customers what you could do to refine your product and maybe sell more.

Creating and delivering video online is now incredibly simple and the significance of its popularity is epitomised by the number of videos available from YouTube and in downloadable podcasts. I love these video distribution platforms as they really have helped me sell and build a reputation for my low cost alternative to conventional small business accounting software such as Quickbooks or Peachtree.

You should always start with a plan of what you are going to say and share with your audience and therefore you need a structured approach which is best done by creating a storyboard. If you are familiar with Microsoft powerpoint or apple keynote then you already have some of the skills you will need to get started making your first online video tutorial or presentation. It is entirely possible to create your storyboard and produce your video and indeed market and sell it to make some money without having to spend any money what so ever.

I have been creating my videos in Podcast, YouTube and downloadable video format for over two years now using a really fantastic tool called Camtasia Studio which is developed by TechSmith a US company, whatever you do watch all of the tutorials before downloading the thirty day fully functional trial. Get your storyboard sorted and ready and make sure you fully understand how you are going to use the Camtasia software (watch the tutorials…yes all of them!!) before you download the trial as you only have use of the software for thirty days.

Now you know what tools you need to create your videos and in the next few days I will be publishing to this blog (owners permitting) another and much more detailed lesson on storyboard creation using how I created and distributed my small business accounting software videos as real life examples of what is possible.
