As you can see the numbers are very large, in any country, still our neighbors are the leading once as they ware 10 years ago. None the last our country is growing and increasing in the online space presence.

Face it, we can’t just ignore those numbers, if you understand these are your and your friends, family and other businesses big opportunity to get online and target those 19 million users in order to sell, promote, advertise and get known in the country.

Imagine yourself if you have a web site and you market this web site, have it in the search engines and give out your business cards with the online address, 19 million online users are there to view your web site, meaning to view your company, services and products.

Also don’t forget of what kid of potential do you have in online sales, open an online store, don’t pay rent, don’t buy the stock, don’t employ warehouse workers, practically no monthly expenses and 100% income, just click and sell.

Wow, that is definitely something to be proud of!

Think about it… you open up a business to cell… I don’t know, plastic cups, what would you need for it? You definitely need an office, for the start some small room that would be as your start-up warehouse, buy some starting stock, and oh boy we all know none of the suppliers or manufacturers will never give you credit, so, you have to buy a starting stock, spend money and your time to show your products to potential clients, without a clue if they are going to buy from you or not.

Lets analyze the whole picture now and we are going to talk about minimum, office – $1,500 / month = $9,000 / first half a year (start-up), room/warehouse - $1,000 / month = $6,000 / first half a year, stock – 10 cents per cup / 10,000 cups for the start = $1,000, gas fro driving around $200 / month = $1,200 / first half a year, your minimum income for only the necessary expanses $1,500 / month = $9,000 / first half a year, and I’m not even mentioning the rest of unplanned expanses that all of us get once in a while and not the advertising and marketing.

Well, now let’s calculate your first half a year needed minimal budget for just a start-up is - $26,200.00!

Don’t you think this is a bit too much? You are going to spend nearly $30,000 for something that are 50/50 it can work or not.

Online store expense at our company: $6,000 to $12,000 for designing, programming and building it, one time fee, domain for a year $38, web hosting for a year $200 to $1,000, online marketing, advertising and traffic flow to your web site $600 to $1,500 and you have your fully operated store with a huge products database and online payments processing system and invoicing engine.

Let’s calculate this type of store for the first year (not half a year) and in this case we will take the maximum budget for it - $14,000! How much did you saved by having an online store? Well if we are going to talk here about half a year as you would need first half a year at least for your physical store, than we would take the $14,000 and divide the amount in half and we would get the half a year budget of $7,000, there is a big difference between $26,200 and $7,000.

If you would take your physical store budget which is $26,200 and multiply by two that you would need for the whole year, and we get - $52,400

First year budget – Online store: $14,000 / physical store: $52,400

52,000 minus 14,000 = 38,000 ? and this how much you would save by having it all online!
