Many people from all walks of life have had a lot of success on the internet.
It all starts with an idea; all you need then is a way to present this idea to the hundreds of million of people on the internet.
Which means you need a website.
Compared to starting a company and opening a business in the physical world, a website can be created with very little money spent. Not only that, what it costs to "rent space" on the internet (called web hosting, which is where your website resides in cyberspace) is often less than $20 per month.
Nowadays, many companies offer web hosting for as little as $12 per month.
That is why websites often have a high profit margin. Because it doesn't take much money to maintain them.
Once you've paid a fee to have a website built, after that the only expenses you're likely to have are going to depend on the topic your website covers, or if you sell actual physical merchandise, that needs to be packaged and shipped.
The internet is an amazing tool for instantly reaching customers because of a highly effective tool called "search".
Major search engines, such as Google and Yahoo, can become a reliable free source of new visitors to your website.
Once you've had a website built and then put it online, if you take some simple steps your website can soon start showing up in Google and Yahoo listings.
Not only that, but this instant, free traffic from Google and Yahoo (and other search engines) is often considered the best kind of traffic you can get. Because these are people who are looking for the exact topic you cover on your website.
