It Really Is Only 'Early Days' In The Internet Gold Rush....

by: Richard Grady

One of the questions that I am getting more and more used to hearing lately is:

'Is it too late for me to start an online business?
Have I missed the boat and have all of the best opportunities been and gone?'

My reply is always along the lines of, 'Absolutely not - there is still a wealth of opportunity online and even if you start your online business tomorrow, you are still well ahead of the majority of people'.

I genuinely believe that this is the case but I know that many people do feel that they may have missed the boat and that there is nothing more that can be done online that isn't already being done by someone else.
If you are one of those people, read on....

I attended a corporate function last week - non Internet related - and had the chance to talk with a large number of UK business men and women.
These people ranged from people running their own 'one man band' type business right up to the owners of large-scale operations employing hundreds of staff and turning over millions of pounds each year.
Several of the attendees were entrepreneurs that had built up and sold companies worth, quite literally, tens of millions.
Overall, a very wide spread of experience, success and ability but the one thing that tied everyone together was that they were all running a business of one kind or another.

Now, as you would expect, when meeting with new people for the first time (and particularly in a situation such as the one above), one of the main topics of conversation was what everyone did for a living.
As I have indicated in previous newsletters, this is a question that I really dislike being asked as I find it so hard to explain.

Needless to say though, I found myself having to do exactly that to numerous people, all of whom looked at me with a blank expression as I tried to tell them, in simple terms, how I generate an income from nothing more than a PC and the Internet.

This is nothing new and I am well used to it by now (in fact I am beginning to think that it would be easier just to say I work in finance as I once did!) but what amazed me most was that not one of the people I spoke to had any clue about what I was talking about.

Despite being among a group of what I would consider to be a fair representation of the UK business community, not one of them had any real idea about how to use the Internet to increase their business.

Of course, many of the people I spoke to had websites but ALL of them told me that the only real purpose their website served was to provide a small amount of information about their business and their contact details!

None of them allowed customers to order from their website (although most of the businesses in question would suit this method of sales)....

None of them were collecting email addresses from visitors with the aim of carrying out follow-up marketing (although this would be appropriate for all of the businesses in question)....

None of the businesses were using email in any way as a form of marketing, despite the obvious cost advantages over the postal service...

I could go on but I think you get the point.

On the flipside, every single one of the people that I spoke to had used the Internet to purchase goods!
I find this absolutely amazing.

Now of course, the people that I spoke to are in a slightly different situation to many online entrepreneurs in that they already run successful offline businesses.
However, if this is a fair representation of how entrepreneurs view the Internet in terms of a business tool, it stands to reason that the 'ordinary man in the street' will be even less likely to see the Internet as something that he can use to earn a full or part time income.

The entrepreneurs I spoke to were genuinely surprised that it was possible to earn a full time income online, they were even more surprised when I gave them an indication of how much it is possible to earn.
I am sure that a couple of them almost fell over when I then told them that the day to day maintenance of many online businesses takes just an hour or so per day since software can be used to handle so much of the workload!

I therefore reiterate the point that I made at the start of this newsletter - the Internet Gold rush is surely only just beginning and the very fact that you are reading this article puts you way ahead of the vast majority of the rest of the World.
Don't sit there wondering whether it is too late - get started on your online business today.

And if you were one of the entrepreneurs that I spoke to last week (you know who you are and I know that several of you have already subscribed to this newsletter!), welcome and enjoy - you too are now one step ahead of your competition
:-)

Ten Things You Should Know Before You Go Shopping For That Special Ring

Rings symbolize lasting love, but there are so many choices to navigate ? gold or platinum? An original design or an antique? ? that it?s difficult to know how to pick the best ring. Learn the criteria for purchasing a top-notch ring, and like your relationship, if it is a quality ring, it should grow richer and more beautiful with age.

Role of The Druid WOW

Role of The Druid WOW

by: Hunter Crowell

Of the many different character classes in WOW, each having a different accepted role, there is one lauded as superior by those who play them, and scoffed at by those around them.
There are a few responsibilities that must be filled for a group of adventurers to succeed in a dungeon.
There must be a ?tank,? someone who gets the attention of the monsters they are attempting to kill.
A healer is important to keep the group alive.
There are damage dealers who are primarily responsible for slaying the monsters in melee or from a distance.
Characters in charge of crowd control stall certain targets to make taking down others easier.

Each class generally fills one role with ease and can switch to another if it is needed.
The Warrior, for example, is first and foremost a tank.
Warriors are given the most abilities to generate and maintain the focus...

Finding Antiques And Collectibles To Sell On eBay

Finding Antiques And Collectibles To Sell On eBay

by: Terry Gibbs

Many people who decide to make a living selling collectibles on eBay soon fail. I meet them in the line at the post office. They tell me they just quit their job in order to sell things full time on eBay.

I ask them, "What are you doing to find more items to sell?"

Only the people who can answer this question last more than a few weeks. The others soon run out of things to sell and just give up.

I got started buying trains and toys when I was in grade school.

My dad and I collected toy trains and we built up quite a collection over the years. We didn't have a lot of money so we ran ads, put signs up, handed out cards, networked and tried all kinds of methods to get people to sell us their trains to us.

We bought lots of trains and kept what we wanted then sold the rest in order to keep the cash moving.

Over the past 23 years we have refined a system...

Celtic Jewelry - A Beautiful Mystery Unraveled

Celtic Jewelry - A Beautiful Mystery Unraveled

by: Sam Serio

Celtic jewelry like the Celts themselves has a rich history and a proud tradition. Immensely beautiful with intricate Celtic symbols and delicate designs, Celtic cross jewelry, Celtic knot jewelry, and beautiful Claddaugh rings have been admired and desired for thousands of years.

Celtic Cross Jewelry

One of the most enduring, and coveted "gifts" of Celtic culture is jewelry featuring the Celtic Cross. According to Irish legend, St. Patrick created the first Celtic cross by drawing a circle over a Latin cross.

For an Irish Catholic, the circle in the Celtic cross may be a symbol of eternity and the endlessness of God's love. It can even represent a halo emanating from Christ.

Some say the four "arms" of the Celtic Cross represent the elements (fire, earth, air, and water). Others believe the cross denotes the four directions of the compass, and still others feel it...
