Looking to the future, many internet communication technologies companies may opt to be based entirely online. This minimizes human capital and budget requirements, and can drive a more efficient business model. Hannig Mcclintic CEO of a local internet communication technologies company, has already pledged to do this, with a major shift in the business planned in the next 6 months. “I forsee us going entirely online,” said Hannig Mcclintic, “because people hardly come to our stores in person anymore. As a result, why should we keep these facilities open if we can do just as well online’” And, as internet sales in the internet communication technologies industry explode, parallel growth is being noted in the internet marketing field, particularly search engine and affiliate marketing. “Search engines and affiliates have doubled our numbers,” said Orton Fusco, director of marketing for Raeann Auces INC., “and where there was once one or two big internet marketing firms, now there are well over ten in our industry. This growth speaks to the power of the information super high way.” “With internet internet communication technologies sales booming, we may have to cut back on in person sales teams,” said Nichol Jasper, director of Human Resources for Clora Lanius INC, “mainly because we are losing money in that operational area. As we move forward, we’ll give those employees new job opportunities in our internet communication technologies company before we actually lay them off, so that they can continue to grow with our company if they so desire.” Equally important in the online sales arena is affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing is reselling your internet communication technologies product through individual webmasters and their websites, giving them typically 5 to 20 % for each successful sales. This form of marketing is purely results driven, and it requires only a small investment on behalf of the company running the affiliate program. “We rely on affiliate marketing to drive our internet communication technologies sales and lead acquisition, mostly because some webmasters in our field are better at marketing online than we are,” said Carolin Palowoda, Marketing Chairman for Guedes Cendejas Partners LLC. Guedes Cendejas isn’t alone with these new ideas. Galluzzo Vandale, who manages one person company, believes the internet marketing boom has created a huge market for small time business owners. “For the first few years of my career,” said Brignac Rihanek, “I was working 9 to 5 at a marketing firm, doing the typical corporate thing. Now, however, I have my own website, production center, and payment processing. This allows me to work from home under my own rules and with unlimited income potential.” Marketing online, however, is not as easy as it looks. Thousands of websites compete for top positioning in the search engines, and, as search algorithms change and top search engines create new market areas, some websites can lose out. One day, you might be number one for “buy internet communication technologies”, a week later, number 100. The difference between these positions is obvious: no one wades through 100 results for a internet communication technologies product unless the first 99 are extremely poor. In general, most competitive industries online rely on top 10 placement, because of the reality of how web surfers behave. Without a doubt, in the pre-internet marketing days, most internet communication technologies resellers only used the internet as a means to communicate via email with current customers. “Things in the industry really turned a corner when people began to acquire, not maintain customers online,” said Dani Cafarelli, a noted internet marketer and web designer. “When acquisiton via online services got big, companies in the internet communication technologies sector finally woke up to the idea that the information super highway was here to stay - in a very big way.” “After starting an internet internet communication technologies sales division in 2003, we saw our sales increase three-fold,” said Olvera Shobe, director of marketing and sales for Macpherson Gearin and Marybelle Guire Associates, “and this resulted in the creation of more jobs and employment opportunities in our company. Our number of employees has doubled, and our number of IT staff has quadrupled in a year’s time.”

In the end, only invest what you can afford. Be prepared for the reality that your venture into the internet communication technologies field can result in significant financial loss. If you understand this fact, and at the same time have spent time researching prospective companies carefully, you should be fine. Those who just throw their money at the wall hoping for something to stick are the most likely to lose everything. “I’m thrilled to report record growth in the internet communication technologies sector,” said Nathalie Arhart, an independent auditor, “this signifies that anyone who invested their money more than three years ago saw a 25% return on their money - which is fabulous.” Such gains are not unhead of, particularly to internet communication technologies related businesses, if investors can stick it out for 2-5 years. A great book on investing in the internet communication technologies sector was written by Cairone Silcott, a prominent author and Professor of Economics at the University of Orbison Mosley, located down town. Orbison Mosley has written some ten different works, that all deal with risk management in a dynamic economy. “When putting your money on the table,” writes Orbison Mosley, “be prepared for a wait of, on average, 3 - 5 years before expecting any sort of return. That is the way the internet communication technologies market works, and with patience, you can walk with big money.” Collica Frierdich CIO of Uhlich Pyrdum INC, a top internet communication technologies firm, recently released the grand list of top investors. Among the top 3 were Spinka Figueras, Fiona Vergeer, and the well known millionaire Emilee Smeathers, who alone comprise almost 70% ownership of the company. “This sort of leverage can cause problems,” said President Deptula Grunewald, “but we have a strong relationship with our top investors, and they know the internet communication technologies field very well. As a result, no one gets gun shy or cold feet.” “internet communication technologies investing may seem daunting to some,” said Mugrage Zweifel, a private investor, “but it’s really no different than the enigma of day-trading or forex. People are not necessarily afraid of investment process, but merely of the high risk involved.” Risk in the internet communication technologies industry is certainly a factor, however, it can be mitigated by picking the right companies for your money. Picking the top company is easy, but not always the top earner. “Sometimes,” says Koeppen Smithee, “it’s better to look through the mid-range internet communication technologies companies for ones with strong growth potential.” Indeed, over the past 10 years, the Joe-Regular investor has begun to see the strengths of putting money in the internet communication technologies investment market. Ten years ago, regular investors accounted for about 25% of the capital base, compared to today, where nearly 70% of all principle generated for investment comes from average investors and brokerages. “This change has been for the best,” declared Spadoni Minner, a broker with Zartman Labate and Brothers Ltd, “we’ve seen more people getting into investing, and more company executives doing more aggressive marketing and sales, with the knowledge that they are backed by a diverse number of share holders.” The internet communication technologies field was subject to a recent study by the College of Bakey Glavin, a small liberal arts school on the East side of town. Led by Prof. Beard Ramsbottom, students and faculty examined the financial figures of several companies anonymously, and used these numbers to create profit analysis and investment return graphs. “The students did a great job on this project,” said Beard Ramsbottom, “and they took it very seriously. Confidentiality, especially in the internet communication technologies market, is of core important, and these students were able to finish a great analysis without duress.” Many more average investors, like those saving for retirement, do not know about the benefits of investing in the internet communication technologies market. “It’s a shame that our industry isn’t seen as more main stream,” bemoaned Garrington Ambers, CEO of Christene Leed INC, “if more main stream investors got involved through good brokerages, we’d see a higher division of risk across the board. This is especially important in our business model, because if we rely on one or two large investment firms, they can end up constantly twisting our elbows.”
