Understanding the Opportunities
for Doing Business on the Web

by Dr. Ralph F. Wilson, E-Commerce Consultant
Web Marketing Today, Issue 55, April 1, 1999
While this article may be too elementary for you, why don't you forward it to a businessperson who is still trying to understand the opportunities for business on the Web.

Once there was life without drive-up fast food. Hard to imagine, I know, but true. I called my local Burger King manager and asked, "How much of your business goes out the drive-up window?"

"More than 50%," was the answer.

I expect, though, that to restaurants used to a sit-down business, opening a drive-up window seemed pretty radical. It involved a whole new way of understanding the food store business. But now it's taken for granted among the fast food giants.

Doing business on the Web requires the same kind of quantum leap. It's hard to get your head around it right away, since it is so different from what you've been used to.

clipper's remarks: It's my opinion that more folks are turning to the internet for their income.
As the economy weakens, so do job prospects. This summer is showing proof of that. The kids that are looking for summer work are finding that jobs are being scooped up by the year round work force.

Using Social Networking for Business

Friendster-like social networking sites can help small companies attract more customers and get a foot in the sales door.

Online social networking is the newest weapon to get more customers. The Internet research company Compete found that two out of every three people using the Web visited a social networking site. These websites have had a 109 percent growth since 2004 and seem to show no signs of stopping, Compete found.

“Online networking used to be seen as geeky,” says David Teten, CEO of Nitron Advisors, a New York consultancy, and author of The Virtual Handshake: Opening Doors and Closing Deals Online. “Now people realize it’s a more efficient way to meet someone quickly.”

Oil prices surge to new record above $122

NEW YORK - Oil futures blasted to a new record near $123 a barrel Tuesday, gaining momentum as investors bought on a forecast of much higher prices and on any news hinting at supply shortages. Retail gas prices edged lower, but appear poised to rise to new records of their own in coming weeks.

A new Goldman Sachs prediction that oil prices could rise to $150 to $200 within two years seemed to motivate much of Tuesday’s buying, although a falling dollar and increasing concerns about declining crude production in Mexico and Russia contributed, analysts say.
