Small
Business:
Any business with less than 500 employees. Small businesses make up for 98
percent of all businesses in the United States.
The absolute worst myth about the Internet is
that you can "get rich quick". Name one business that has taken off
without having a solid marketing and business plan behind it.
It just doesn't happen.
On and off the Internet, there is no substitute
for good management principles and a business idea to back it up. Putting up a
Web page isn't going to revive a failing business or compensate for management
failures.
If you have a Web page for your business, the
Internet can help you advertise your services, reach your target market, sell
products online, stay in touch with your customers, and establish or develop
your business image.
Even without a Web page for your business, the
Internet can help you find out what your competitors are up to, find products
and services to meet your business needs, and get insights on how to run your
business better.
Although the Internet can't cure all business
evils, knowing the right place to go can help you discover ways to improve
your business and achieve your business goals.
