[singlepic=2,150,100,left] Since the inception and spread of the internet, our world has changed. Boundaries once thought un-crossable have not only been crossed, they have been erased by the expansion of cyberspace. These days, you can hop online and instantly connect with someone on the other side of the world. It’s incredible when you stop to think about it.
Perhaps the biggest impact of the internet has been in the world of business, where the term “global market” has taken on a whole new meaning. The ability to connect with nearly all of civilization with a simple click of the mouse has enabled large companies to grow even larger; and small companies that would never have otherwise succeeded to flourish. Target markets can be identified, reached and serviced with the same level of professionalism whether a company consists of several thousand employees and twenty levels of management, or a couple of guys working out of a garage-and believe it or not, online consumer giant Amazon.com started out as exactly that. How about search engine behemoth Google? A couple of guys working from their basement.

Behold the power of the internet.

With the dot-com busts of the eighties gone but not forgotten, businesses have learned their lessons and become more online-savvy than ever. The marketing waters have been tested, and it’s possible-and even likely-for a small business owner or venture start-up to craft an enormous web presence that makes them appear as big as Pepsi. This book will explain how to craft your virtual corporation and give your business or start-up the boost it needs to thrive in the global market-without spending or investing thousands of dollars as you would in a typical brick-and-mortar business venture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Isn’t it dishonest to make my company look bigger than it is?
Not at all. Your business web site will be a reflection of your company, and as long as you plan to operate professionally (as all good businesses should), conveying that message is not only a great idea, it’s a necessity.

How will creating a virtual corporation help my business?

It is difficult and expensive to build and maintain a large physical corporation. For most people, it is impossible without extensive financial backing. By creating a virtual corporation, you are maintaining a professional image that states your ability to operate just as effectively (and profitably) as those fortunate few who have the capital to invest in a business. Giving yourself a virtual makeover allows you to grow as big as you can, or want to, without the need for a big building or an office in Corporate Park. More and more often, major companies’ home bases are moving from big city concentrations and out to rural and remote areas. You don’t have to live in New York or Los Angeles to run a big business any more!

I’m planning to start a business. Should I go virtual from the beginning?

Absolutely. Even if you plan to have a physical office for your business, it is difficult to succeed today without a web presence. And if you can run things without setting up a storefront, you will save yourself time and money while taking advantage of the latest cutting-edge methods big corporations use to reap profits and outdo the competition.
