...year 2000

 

15 years ago, people wondered of what use was a MOBILE PHONE, but they are now common-place!  

5 years ago people wondered why anyone would need an EMAIL address (electronic mail), yet they too are common place and used by millions worldwide!

TODAY, some people wonder why we need websites and the Internet, yet websites are selling at around 100,000 to 350,000 per day!

The 40 richest millionaires and billionaires in the USA were made that way via the Internet.

There are 400 new millionaires created in Australia every week through association with the Internet. Sunday Telegraph (approxiamatelyJuly/August 2000).

Globally, 25,000 new home based businesses (mostly commission based, ie: "Relationship Marketing" or "Network Marketing") start every day.

20% of all millionaires in the USA were made that way via Relationship Marketing.

THE INTERNET IS ENORMOUS!!!

"Of all the computer power ever built, 90% of it has come online in just the last two years; 350 million computers are in use today. But the real market is seven times bigger. Only 1/3 of the world's population has ever made a phone call. The profit potential in telecommunications is astonishing; Internet traffic is now doubling EVERY 90 DAYS!

Don't be just a passive onlooker - get on board and profit from the Internet revolution."
