Periodically I check the World Internet Usage stats, especially when we're preparing a presentation. The stats are impressive in terms of how many people in the world who have access to and use the Internet. We use the stats to impress upon business owners and professionals that they MUST have a strong presence on the Internet in order to have a successful, growing business.
Here are some stats as of September 30, 2007 (from Nielsen/Net Ratings):
234000,000 use Internet in North America - 70.2% of population
459,000,000 in Asia - 12.4% of population
337,000,000 in Europe - 41.7% of population
1,244,000,000 or 18.9% of world population
More than 1.2 BILLION people world-wide have access to the Internet. Even if only a minute fraction of those users could benefit from your products and services, don't you think it's a good idea to be "findable" on the Web?
All busineses really do need a website! It's amazing how much extra business I got from my website.
I'm even using the Freedom Business System to automate tasks
