New to the Internet
By common consent the Internet is the fastest growing market place
...yet it seems a daunting scene to a new entrepreneur.
But with a little application there are enormous advantages to learning your way into it.
Well even before you look at the business possibilities the Internet offers
...here's a good few reasons to give it a try!
Send your own emailsThey get there in seconds rather than days and they're free! ... companies queue to provide free addresses. So why have one address when you can have one for family, one for your 'Facebook’ activities and another for shopping! ... and we have a simple step by step guide to setting up your first email accounts! |
|
Talk to and see your loved onesIt's cheaper than the phone and it's free! You have to download some software - not difficult - ...and you may need some addition hardware, but nothing expensive. ...but in half an hour you could be talking face to face! |
When you visit these sites you don't have to buy: you can just browse as you would if you were really on the High Street |

Never pay more than you needfor your holidays, insurance, gas or electricity! Price Comparison Sites let you know where to get the deal that suits you and your pocket best. They advertise all the time, giving out their web addresses or you can find them with your search engine. |
Meet people who share your interestsWherever they are in the world they're only a click away! You do need to use them with care but every day millions of people get hours of enjoyment from them. The well-known social networking sites like ‘Facebook’, all run interest groups for like-minded folk. |
Down-load music, watch that programme you missed, see what's on at the cinema.There are many legitimate ways of seeing or hearing whatever you want: whenever you want. You don't have to be a pirate! The BBC has its iPlayer and sites like 'Spotify’ offer free, legal music. |
The question is not 'why do I need the Internet?' but 'why would I deprive myself of the Internet?' |

Search Engines and facilities like WikipediaGive you access to a world of knowledge and thought! It’s like having the biggest public library in the world right there in your living room Just put your question into a Search Engine or open Wikipedia to visit the knowledge of the world. ...and it's free! |
Shop from your own living room....and have it delivered to your door! If you don't have time to shop ...or if you're housebound ...or if you just hate shopping! What is there to lose if you know and trust the shop? |
Your own private rail timetable, list of local plumbers...anything you need to know: it's there at the click of a mouse, always up to date, always local! There are local guides, industry guides and company guides. Perhaps the most useful to start off with is Yell.com |
All these sites represent someone, somewhere doing good business on the internet |

Looking for a Job?If you're not on the Internet, you can bet your bottom dollar the rest of the world is! Even before the Internet it was estimated that 60% of jobs were never advertised publicly Jobsites everywhere let you put your cv out to the world of recruiters. Why are you loosing out? |
Would you hang a picture..without a hammer and steps? So why deny yourself the tools that will make your life more simple and more creative? Word- Processing makes letter writing simpler. Spreadsheets allow you to track your income and spending. Doing without if you can afford not to do without is a 'self inflicted wound'. |
Make some moneyThe internet is a market we can all enter! If you choose your market right you can compete with the big boys from your living room. Ebay and others will let you trade on their site for a small commission. Paypal will handle the money! |
