Establishing an Effective Online Presence for Traditional and Online Businesses
Both traditional and online businesses have finally recognized that if they do not establish an effective online presence soon enough, their very existence could face serious challenge from competitors. Today, some of the world's biggest and most successful organizations are those that have grown entirely through the internet. 
The Internet is so vast and offers so many business opportunities that virtually anyone following proven processes can launch and grow an online business without having to invest huge sums of money.
Google is perhaps the best example of such a successful online business. Started by two university students, it has today become synonymous with the Internet. Indeed, many people consider Google to be the Internet or at least use it as a verb.
 You might wonder whether every online business could become a future Google. While I agree that it is not probable, every web business has the opportunity to be the leader in serving its selected target market - its own niche.
As an Internet entrepreneur, web marketing strategist and web business marketing coach, I have been involved with and personally witnessed web businesses grow from mere concepts to highly successful enterprises.
Despite this, I continue to be amazed at the capacity of the Internet to throw up new success stories on a regular basis. When the concepts of social media and social networking were introduced a few years back, there were not many takers.
In only the last few years, I have seen websites such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and others turn from mere hobby websites launched from garage workrooms into massive platforms hosting millions of users.
These websites are also fantastic businesses that are serving as platforms supporting thousands of businesses. All of this strengthens my belief that the age of web-based business has firmly arrived. However, such businesses are also much more than just great business opportunities.
They are also studies in how successful internet marketing strategies and internet marketing businesses should be built. If we take the example of Facebook, its original intention was never to provide a platform for other businesses to market themselves. It was only intended to help people find their friends and family.
It has however, metamorphosed into an internet marketing business behemoth, supporting small internet businesses around the world. It has also taken the concept of internet and network marketing and given them new definitions. And, all of this has become possible because of the power of the Internet and the imagination of internet users worldwide.
I'm often been asked which is the best web-based business. My answer is simple; each business has the potential to become the best in its niche as long as it employs a strong marketing strategy. Even the activities associated with internet and network marketing have target markets that support a number of successful businesses. Thousands of entrepreneurs and technology enthusiasts have either learned or taught themselves the dynamics of building successful online marketing strategies.
They have then used this knowledge to build successful businesses helping others benefit from the power of Internet and network marketing. Today, anyone with a concept or an idea can easily leverage the power of the internet and build a highly successful web business with the right marketing strategies.
