"Philippine Entrepreneurs and the Internet"

Is the Internet an Opportunity for Entrepreneurs in the Philippines?

 
From: Joel Mangilit

INTERNET is a tool that Philippine entrepreneurs can use to their advantage. For  example... the entrepreneur can use the Internet to...

1. Make herself look as big as a large corporation. On the Internet, we are all judged by the website. The website can make an entrepreneur's small business look like a big time operation.

2. The Internet can be a marketing tool. Personally, I have gotten consulting projects from clients as far as Hong Kong and USA. They found out about me and my services via this website.

3. Ideas such as Yahoo, eBay, and Amazon.com have made the founders millionaires. To the Philippine entrepreneur, a good idea combined with the global reach of the Internet can lead to success online.

But... we all have to act quickly. The effectiveness of the Internet as a pure marketing tool is becoming less and less, because there are just too many people competing... using this medium... for marketing.

For example, if you are an internet consultant... a quick search in Google.com for the keyword "internet marketing" will yield hundreds of thousand of sites. Do you really think your website will be found by people using the Internet for this specific service? Frankly, I am surprised that people even find my website... especially since my topic of internet marketing is very competitive (millions of pages on the web are devoted to internet marketing).

Either I am lucky...or my methods for Internet marketing do work better than my competitors.

So for the entrepreneur in the Philippines... there are opportunities on the web... good luck!

Until next month.

Sincerely,

Joel Mangilit
