That's nearly 250 million people in the US alone that use their computer to search, learn, and communicate online. Almost 50% of those people have purchased goods and services online multiple times. In the US alone, that is 125 million e-commerce customers. Nearly $70 Billion was spent in online purchases in the 1st half of 2008. These are jaw dropping numbers and if you are serious about making money, right now is the time to investigate your options in an online business venture.

There are literally thousands of options for someone to get into an online business at the click of a mouse and within that, here are dozens of business models to follow and decide from. It is in a potential business investor's best interest to be prudent and use due diligence. Some are scams, some are fly by night and some are valid, actually add value to people's lives and have made millionaires.
