Any business venture takes time to grow and mature. People have to become aware that the business exists, then they have to learn to trust it before they will become repeat customers. Business on the Net is no different. Once you have a site, it takes time and effort to build up a loyal customer base. Your results will be directly related to the amount of effort you expend.
Many commercial enterprises use their sites for building image and public relations.
For these sites, profits may come indirectly from the Internet presence. As Web traffic increases and less expensive computers and other devices bring the Internet to a growing audience, business in all sectors will increase.
