A ‘Portable’ Low Cost Business with Potential for Great Returns

(Part 5)

(continued from January 31 2005)

What am I referring to? The building of ‘information’ or ‘content’ based websites. Websites that provide a rich source of information about a specific topic that focus on gathering and providing in one place a collection of valuable information about something that people are looking for.

"How can you hope to set a website up that does this?…"

"And how on Earth does this become the basis of an online business?..."

...you may be wondering! Well in the simplest analysis…if you have ever searched for anything on the internet yourself…you can be SURE you are not the only person who has done this! Your own interests are BOUND to be shared by many people around the world. It is inevitable.

The sort of information you need to make your day to day existence easier...is also the same information that many other individuals will need for the same purpose in their own lives…whether they live in your street, your town, your country, or the other side of the world...it is guaranteed that there will be not only 'someone else' looking for the same things you are…but LOTS of other someones!

It is a numbers game! And a marvellous numbers game that is becoming more and more positive for the providers of information…how come? Well every day a host (by this we mean literally THOUSANDS) of new ‘searchers’ hit the internet for the first time. Access to the internet is growing at an amazing rate, and this growth is set to continue.

There are already nearly 60 million active working websites (source: Netcraft, 2005), and billions of web-pages on the internet! It is phenomenal…and it is the reason why ‘providing useful information’ can become the basis of your ‘portable’ business.

Such a business is portable because it ‘exists in the ether’. You publish information to your website, and with a sound ‘host’ for your website it ‘floats’ in the virtual world of the web waiting for ‘needy’ visitors to find it… and it does this whether or not YOU have your own PC switched on!

People can read what you provide, they can take advantage of the ‘links’ to other resources you may feature and do all this while you sleep…because they may be ‘reading’ your information any time, anywhere in the world.

I still find the thought mind-blowing…and every day when we check the statistics on our ‘informative’ website…we have visitors from all over the world...not one or two...but hundreds. Some of the people we know who do this have thousands of visitors to their ‘information resource’ website EVERY DAY!…there I said it was mind blowing....
