Subscribe to Aridni Start your own ‘Webusiness’ today!

The next time you are surfing the net, take a look at some of the websites you are on. If it wasn’t for the internet, could that company survive? Well it’s not fair to ask that, but how about we modify that to, ‘If it wasn’t for the internet, could that company prosper?’

In a world without the internet, all the content would have to be delivered through the traditional routes. You would get news and articles from magazines, newspapers, direct mail, and television shows.

Fortunately we do have the internet and you can get your Aridni articles quite easily! And we don’t have to print off a thousand copies of articles everyday.

While chatting with a friend the other day, we came up with a great idea for a ‘webusiness’ that we could work on. That is basically any business model that is reliant on the internet to be successful. Search engines such as Google and Yahoo are webusinesses. Could you imagine if they weren’t? How about MySpace? That would be a disaster if everything wasn’t organized neatly in databases.

After hammering out a few key details and determining the additional work that would be required for the new project, we decided to go ahead. I purchased the domain name and hope to have a decent start by next weekend.

Even if I have to put the idea off for a month, domain names are only $7 a year at Godaddy. Hosting is dirt cheap as well. So there is no reason to delay setting up your webusiness today. Or at least you could register the domain name and get a jump on your neighbors. The amount that you would be out if you decided to terminate the project early is quite minimal.

Every project has to start with an idea, what do you do with yours?
