A few years later, I decided to write and market a data transfer product called OpenExchange. It took several more years of sweat and long hours, but I made the product successful and even started hiring additional staff. Sales nearly doubled every year for three years. Since that time we developed WebPosition, hired more people, expanded, and have seen sales and profits increase FOUR-fold since 1997. The Internet, a.k.a., the Web.
Some products lend themselves to the Web better than others, like software.
However, the Internet can help any business, big or small, one employee, or a thousand employees. You'll feel better about running a good business that helps people in the long run. The rest of us have to know the ropes and the tricks of the trade before putting down our hard earned cash. Spend money on magazine subscriptions, books, and productivity tools that save you time and give you a competitive edge. First you need to find something to sell.
