Twenty-Four Hour Networking
Having an Internet presence means that you are there for partners, suppliers, prospects, customers, clients, patients, staff, friends, contacts and all the people that you routinely deal with; twenty four hours a day, 365 days a year!
You have a unique opportunity to inform, educate, persuade, offer, stimulate, entertain, and entice. When you are registered with the search engines and when you begin to market your site. Who knows how many customers will visit your site?
A Booming Market Place
Since 1992/3, the growth of the Internet market has been unbounded. Today there are an estimated 200 million users of the Web. How many of these users would be interested in your product or service?
Easily Change the Sites Contents - quickly and cheaply
We hope you have never been in the situation of having thousands of brochures delivered, only to find them out of date within a few weeks? With the Web, it’s simply not a problem. If you need to change a page, you can do it instantly.
Do you see the power of a Web site? Even the smallest change can be made at almost no cost, in a very short time-scale. You can update pricing, schedules and availability, content, Logos etc. - anything almost, on demand. You simply can’t afford to do that with print media.

1. First, make sure your domain name has not been registered by someone else. This is the company or that will manage the domain registration for you.
2. Enter the domain name you want to check into the online form.
3. If anyone already owns the name, you will have to select another one. If it is unregistered, you can proceed.
4. Select the number of years you want to pay for. Paying for more than one year in advance may save you a little money.
5. Enter your contact information. There are four types of contacts: the registrant or owner, technical, billing, and administrative. You may use the same name for all if you wish.
6. If your registrar offers you the option, select a private or public registration. A private registration costs more, but will protect your identity and may cut down on the amount of SPAM you receive.
7. Point your new domain to a Web server or “park” the domain. If you have not yet built a Website, you should park the name with the registrar. If you have built a site, you must tell the registrar on which Web server the site is located. This information is provided by your Web host.
8. At this point, you are probably done! It may take up to 4 to 8 hours for .com and .net domains to become active and about 24-48 hours for other domain extensions.

Many business owners wonder how the Internet can help their business. Below we introduce a variety of web-based services and providers, explain what they are, and discuss how they might enhance your business.
Email
Whether you are a small business interested in starting a newsletter for customers, or a Fortune 500 looking for direct email campaign advice, there’s a resource out there with the information you need.
Shy away from advertising for other companies or using free email accounts such as noelsmith@hotmail.com. Use a business email address that reflects your company’s name (i.e.) noelsmith@companyname.com. It gives you a more professional image when you are communicating with colleagues and customers.
Site Submission
When you submit your Web site to a search engine for free, you typically don’t have any control over where your Web site will show up in the site’s results list when someone searches for your company name or a keyword related to your business.
Hence, an important part of online marketing involves a process known as search engine optimization — ensuring that your Web site receives prominent placement on all the major search engines.
Many Web site owners have enlisted professional help to try and improve their rankings on search engines. It deserves mentioning that while many search engine optimization companies do honest, legitimate work, there are just as many companies that use unethical techniques and are looking for a way to earn a fast buck.
Having A Web Presence
Depending upon your product or service and the purpose of your Web site, an effective home page doesn’t necessarily have to be sales-oriented. It can be used to reduce the number of direct customer service/support calls you receive, i.e., people can obtain the information they need, when they need it, from your home page.
Regardless of your marketing objective, the Internet and Web can bring more than 40 million people to your front door. The World Wide Web is a quick, simple and relatively inexpensive way to facilitate business-to-business transactions, get your company in front of millions of potential customers and keep existing customers informed of your products, services and capabilities.
Of course, there’s always the fear that if you don’t do it, the other guy will. If a company doesn’t have a presence on the Web, it doesn’t get a chance to play.

You can have good traffic and good sales using PPC campaign. You can bid as low as 10 cents per click.
With an internet business you don’t need no inventory unless you have your own product that you ship by yourself. Most business opportunity ship the product for you and you keep the profits.
