Before
you start planning your new web you need to ask yourself if you really need a
web site or do you just want one because you have been told that you have to have
web site these days.
Or have you been told you need to get a web site
quick before your competition does. This is probably the biggest blag when it
comes to the Internet.
If you are own a Sandwich shop chances are you
won't ever need a web site. How many people do you know look up a sandwich shop
on the Internet. You wouldn't, you would just walk to the local shops and find
one.
Below is a list of reasons why you may need a web site: -
Well, lets start at the beginning and go through each one in turn: -
Promote Your Ideas or Hobbies:
This
is probably the biggest reason for setting up your own personal web site. There
are countless web sites on the Internet that people have created, not to make
money, but to promote there ideas, hobbies, or beliefs.
In fact the
Internet is an excellent way to do this and you can create a real community of
people with the same ideas, hobbies, and beliefs as yourself. It's also great
way to meet people. Advertise Your Company:
The
Internet can be an excellent way to promote your company or a product, but it
needs to be used along with traditional ways of advertising. With so many web
sites out there and 100's more being created everyday it becomes harder and harder
to promote your site on the Internet.
The
best way to promote your product is to use traditional advertising and let potential
customers know they can find out more information through your web site.
Attract these potential customers into you web site by offering quizzes and prises
and give them information on your company or products while they are there. Forums
and chat rooms can also help with this and allow your customers to discus your
product while they are there.

Make Loads of Money Really Fast:
Yeah
right. If you want to make loads of money really fast then the Internet is probably
not the place to do it. Most of the large companies on the Internet such as Amazon
don't make a penny from the Internet. In fact they are losing money hand over
fist.
This is not to say you won't make any money from the Internet,
as there are many people who do. The main companies making money from the Internet
are companies offering Internet services such as Web design companies, Web Hosting
companies, ISP, etc.
Other companies making money on the Internet are
mainly smaller companies that are bricks and mortar companies that make there
main living through normal outlets such as shops, but also make some money each
week from Internet sales.
The only other types of company making money
through the Internet are small companies with low overheads offering unusual products
or services that cannot be found locally. This still requires a lot of hard work,
the right type of promotion, and allot of luck.
