MICROSOFT'S BILL GATES HAS BEEN QUOTED AS SAYING THAT ANY stage
business that doesn't rich person a "dot com' after its name by
the class 2000, isn't really in byplay. Five or six years ago,
many of us might wealthy person balked at that, merely today
it's evident that the Net is turning come out to be all that
pundits said it would be. Last Christmas alone, 7.8 1000000
people bought merchandise online, ringing up receipts totaling
$4.1 billion. This season, the figure of shoppers is expected
to jump to over 24 one thousand thousand. Still, for many
blackness occupation owners, the lingering question isn't
whether Websites work simply whether they work for Black
businesses. To that question, experts answer, yes, they tin.

The identification number of Black person-owned businesses
successfully leveraging the might of the Cyberspace is steadily
increasing. Patrick McElroy, a former Website architect and
creator of the search engine and directory World Wide is
actively conducting research into the size of the World Wide
Web's Negro line population. He says that without a doubt,
"It's on the rise." He strongly warns Negroid businesses
against waiting practically longer to establish a WWW presence.
"The is not a fad. It's a proven medium, and it's going to be an
ingrained part of our culture." There were 83.4 meg adults ages
16 or older accessing the as of April of this yr, according to
Intelliquest. And Nielsen predicts 132.7 a million by the 2000.


The size and nature of the World Wide Network tin can make
getting started challenging. Best assured, you don't give birth
to be a tech head to get involved. It's easier now than it ever
was, and the benefits ar real. Continued from page 1. In the
two years the Prom Guide site has been online, Bowen has spent
less than $5,000 construction, tweaking and maintaining it. He
relied heavily on a couturier in the beginning, just like many
ambitious Net shop owners, he's learned a lot about development
and now does a lot of the site's regular upkeep himself.

Another significant advantage that some overlook: competitive
mightiness. In the high-tech solutions arena, prospects
typically ask integrators to submit proposals or bids. If you
don't deliver a Website, you could be of the running. Companies
with well-executed Websites taken More seriously than those
without them and reaching new to(p) territories, edifice allies
and creating unexampled revenue streams. Sure, a smart Website
takes money.
