Nowadays, it seems like everybody wants to know how to turn a quick buck. Between car repairs, school costs, doctor’s visits, food, and all the other expenses a hundred-aire has to deal with, it’s no wonder cash is tight. But all the desire in the world can’t change the age-old, mom-tested adage, “There is no such thing as a free lunch.” Nowhere else does this hold more true, than on the Internet. Promises of overnight fortunes and financial independence abound on the World Wide Web, their siren call pulling any who will listen to be destroyed on the rocks of bankruptcy. So what’s a dreamer, a future millionaire, to do? By following these easy steps, anyone willing to work for it can become a million-dollar-man.
First, there must be a market that has an unmet need. It’s as simple as supply and demand. If there is no demand for what you are producing, then inventories pile up and businesses go under. Obviously, the most lucrative product is something that can be used widely by everybody, but it often makes more sense and is smarter to offer a niche product. While there will be a smaller pool of people to demand your product, the odds are that if it is quality, that smaller pool will buy more of your product than a larger pool that doesn’t share a common interest. If a product can be made indispensable to a niche community, it becomes a goldmine.
Next, there must actually be a product to offer these newfound customers. There are many types of goods and services that can be offered online. Basically, there are goods, tangible items exchanged for money, and services, things that are done for a customer. Goods online trade hands and are purchased in many different ways. Some are bought and sold in an auction format, like items on ebay, where the buyers bid on an item, and the good goes to the highest bidder. Other items are listed on a virtual “storefront”, where customers can browse through items, and make a purchase much like a traditional store. Services offered online are performed locally, in person, or long-distance. For instance, a computer repair tech comes to your house to fix the problem locally, or you pay your Internet provider for the long-distance service of connecting you with the World Wide Web. Whether the self-made millionaire offers a good, service, or both, is strictly a matter of preference, and the demands of the target niche.
The final step is to begin marketing your website and product. This is best accomplished by building a “grassroots” network of providers, suppliers, consumers, and advertisers, who will remain local to your cause and product, and help it succeed at making millions. The experience should be smooth, consistent, and enjoyable for everybody involved. The relationships built and nurtured during the first two years of a site’s life will make or break its success. As long as there is constantly new and fresh content and products added to the site to capture and maintain user interest, you will be a Millionaire in No Time!

•My Review of Final Fantasy XI Online
When my significant other first mentioned this game, I told him that I wouldn’t ever play. Playing an online game with people from around the world just didn’t appeal to me at all. I had my Playstation 2 and my ps2 role playing games (which I loved more than my boyfriend, LOL), why would I want to play a game that costs monthly? I guess I just couldn’t comprehend what an online game would be like.
One day I actually let my significant other talk me into doing the 30 day free trial of ffxi...
•Web Design Four Crucial Elements of a Good Web Design
In 1999, a professor with the University of Saskatchewan conducted a survey to see which web design elements were the most important to viewers. The four elements that topped the list were site navigation, page layout, content and loading speed. While the internet has evolved beyond our wildest dreams at that time, these four web design elements have remained just as crucial to a good design today as they were a decade ago.
Site organization was the most crucial, according to the original...
•Communication in the Dotcom Era
Communication is a basic human need. It’s right there behind food, water, and shelter. People need to interact with other people, and feel involved. Traditionally, this had taken place verbally, in town squares or behind closed doors. The few that were lucky enough to know how to write did, and had lengthy correspondences over the course of years or lifetimes with one another. These traditional forms of communication were functional, and were suited to the needs of their times, but they were...
