Huge sums of money are being earned online, not just by the major companies, but by one man/woman operations revolving around hobbies, special interests and small business people wanting to expand.
There are endless "niche'" opportunities for anyone wishing to start a business without too much risk, high initial start up costs, or special premises.
There are websites for simply every subject you can imagine.
Who would have thought that water: an everyday commonsense necessity would bring forty six million searches on Google? There's hope for us all.
Niches and sub niches - a never ending list to tempt you.
We all have interests, and you will be amazed at what people will pay for in the pursuit of their hobbies.
If the subject is close to your heart, and you genuinely enjoy it, then this will show in your content and the visitor will warm to your enthusiasm.
Would you like to be paid for something that you enjoy, that you would probably do for nothing because you find it so interesting and pleasant?.
That sounds like a dream job to me.
Love your subject, love your work, above all, and most important, love your customers.
Treat them with respect, let them know how much you value them.
Always be fair - honesty in all your dealings will pay dividends like loyal, constantly returning customers and a growing reputation as a business to be trusted.
Not everyone wants to stretch themselves by starting up a business that needs constant attention and investment.
There are still opportunities online for those that wish to just make a steady income, working at home, at their own pace.
This can be less demanding but equally well paid, with little stress involved.
Though it will not have the potential of a genuine online business.
