As the internet has grown, so has its potential for business. Long gone are the days when a brick and mortar location was mandatory to start any type of business, large or small. Now, people run sizable companies out of their homes through the internet. Workers are working from home more than ever, turning the morning commute through rush hour traffic into a walk across the hall into the computer room. Internet business is big, and it has plenty of room to grow.
The ‘dot com’ boom and bust of the late 1990′s made many people wary of using the internet for business for a short while. People, especially traditional businesses who were hooked by the explosive growth of the young tech companies and lost along with them, were skeptical of the whole “internet business” thing. In reality, most of those companies failed because they didn’t have a strong foundation for great ideas. Companies such as Amazon, eBay, and Google were born in that era and are among the most powerful companies in the world today.
