Think about it. When you go to a search engine like Google and type in a search term, you are actually asking the Internet search engine a question. For instance, when you type in something like “How to get rid of acne” or “acne cure” or “get rid of acne”, you are actually asking the question: How do I get
rid of acne, right?
This is the usual application of search engine queries, and we do it all the time. The search engine results called SERPs answer that question by giving us a list of websites that have information relevant to answering your query.
When you think about it like that, you will quickly realize that the basic reason the Internet thrives and grows is to answer questions put to it by hundreds of thousands of people worldwide.
In the answers to questions lies business, product sales, fortunes made and the opportunity to answer and supply information about a topic. It could be anything; however, the process remains the same. In order to start an Internet business, you must think this way and as a result, your idea will be the answer to a question put forth by many.
Most people go into business to make money. Having a clear picture of what product or service they are going to present to via the Internet is necessary in order to be successful. Having a business model plays a critical role in achieving that goal. The type of environment in which a firm operates as well as the type of changes that it faces also play important roles.
The Internet stands to establish new game strategies for businesses as it renders existing bricks-and-mortar strategies obsolete while creating opportunities for wealth creation via the web. In order for people to take advantage of all that the Internet entails involves conceiving and executing a good Internet business model.
Such a model must have not only the right components, but also the right linkages between them and its environment. It also must have the degree of resilience and flexibility to take advantage of change.
In this site, you will find all of these factors and options that will allow you to go from Internet business “newbie” to a level where you can conduct business effectively via the Internet.
Before going any further, you will need a brief introduction to the history and terminology of the Internet along with the key segments of the Internet industry.
The terms “Internet”, the “web” and the “World Wide Web”, are often used interchangeably, are not the same. The Internet is a vast system of computers that are connected by high-speed communications lines which can understand the IP/TCP protocols. The WWW is linked content that is accessible through the Internet, written in HTML and viewed through a browser. In addition to the WWW protocol (http), there are four applications that operate on the Internet which are e-mail (electronic mail), discussion lists/newsgroups, FTP (file transfer protocol), and remote login (telnet).
Companies in the Internet infrastructure are found in 1 of 11 market categories, or profit sites, grouped into three segments: users, suppliers and communications service providers.. Users are subdivided into content aggregators or information servers, e-commerce companies, brokers/agents, service providers and market-makers.
Suppliers can be divided into content creators, software suppliers, and hardware suppliers. Communications service providers are divided into backbone operators, ISPs/OSPs, and Last Mile providers. Now that you know all of this, don’t panic. You won’t need to know a lot more than what each of these terminologies refer to, not how they work or how you can get them to work for you.
You will be dealing primarily in the browser interaction and FTP categories. These sound hard, but if you can program your digital recorder, you’ll be able to work on the web easily. Even if you can’t program your recorder, with a little study, you’ll be able to get a website up and running pretty easily. Everything today has been streamlined with results being the priority and not programming acumen.
