Is There Really Space for More Online Businesses
Is There Room For Your eBiz?
By Donald Grenduer
Have you ever browsed through the virtual sea of eStores and Auctions on the internet and thought to yourself, ‘Dang, am I a fool for trying to start my own online business when there are SO MANY other people already doing it?” I mean, there are hundreds of thousands of online retailers and it’s growing every day…is there really room for me and my new business?
It’s hard to comprehend how ‘big’ the online marketplace really is at first. It’s almost like being a child again and trying to comprehend how there is more than just your house and city. There are other houses with people and cities with more houses and people and states with even more cities, houses and people and countries…well you get the idea. The world is a big place, with more people than most of us can truly comprehend…and the internet is no different.
When you start to really consider how massive the internet is, how many hundreds of millions of people use it, you begin to see the potential it holds for an online seller. It’s a marketplace like no other. And here’s the thing, it’s impossible for any stores to monopolize their niche because it’s impossible for anyone to attract ALL of the shoppers looking for the products they sell.
Different Keywords, Different Results Search engines bring up stores based on what keywords are typed in. Type in different keywords into a search engine and you’ll get different search results, i.e. different stores.Online Shoppers use many different keywords to shop for the same product so there can be many online stores selling the same product…and they all make sales.
Many Search Engines, Many Avenues Don’t think that just because you see lots of stores setting up shop on Google selling what you want to sell that means the market is saturated. There are tons of Search Engines with millions of shoppers who are taken to stores that you won’t find on Google. Stores that are thriving. There are so many avenues that shoppers can and DO take to get to online stores and new sellers can capitalize on this.
More Shoppers than Sellers Not everyone wants to be a retailer when they grow up. Being a Retailer, a business owner, is a career path that isn’t for everyone. There are more shoppers than retailers in the ‘real world’ and it’s no different online. There will *always* be more shoppers than sellers.
Now, don’t get me wrong, there is a lot more to being successful with an online business than simply starting one but don’t ever get scared into thinking that there isn’t room for you as a new seller. There is and always will be for the eBiz owner who takes time to educate and apply themselves.
