Does Your Business Need A Website?

I posted a new article on my Articles page called “Does Your Business Need A Website?” for those business owners who are not sure whether they are ready to make the move to online, particularly in the E-commerce arena. The article discusses the latest trends in internet shopping, statistics on internet usage, and some demographics.

I think the average brick-and-mortar store owner will be surprised at how much retail selling is actually going on online. Even though I do a significant portion of my shopping over the internet, I was excited to see the dramatic results of these numbers. The rise in internet shopping and internet use in general over the last few years is staggering.

There is no doubt in anyone’s mind that creating an E-commerce presence is a significant investment, especially if one is to do it right. However, when compared to the cost of opening another physical location, or simply in terms of the sheer reach of your market when you go online, the investment is definitely worthwhile.

High-Speed Dial Up

Anyone using the high-speed internet connection that’s 5X faster using a
regular modem? I’m thinking about ditching the DSL because of high phone bills. Either going back to modem or VOIP. There are several services that claim their modem is 5X faster.

The so-called “high-speed dial-up” internet connections that state they are comparable to broadband are plainly stated…NOT. Your modem, regardless of what the provider does, it limited to the bandwidth it can handle. The provider promises 5 times the speed by compressing the data, thereby reducing the quality of the graphics among other things.

When it comes to downloads and uploads, there can be no compression, therefore no speed enhancement. You will still operate at a max of 56k. A great example: The other day, I downloaded a file that was close to 500mb. The estimated time to download over 56k was 18 hours…my download time was about 30 minutes. Also, there is no way possible to use VOIP with a dial-up connection at this point in time.

VOIP phone companies such as Vonage, require a broadband connection, such as DSL or Cable. You can use either one. By eliminating my phone company altogether and just having my cable internet bill and my Vonage bill has saved me a considerable amount of money.
