You don't have to be a pirate of Silicon Valley to find
success in the computer world. Today it's all about the
Internet. As more businesses move to the Net to expand their
customer base, there is high demand for Internet companies to help
set up and market these virtual storefronts. A study conducted by
the Center for Research on Electronic Commerce at the University of
Texas in Austin shows that the impact of the Internet on the
nation's economy exceeded $301 billion in revenues and
accounted for more than 1.2 million jobs in 1998.
"It's a good time to get into [e-commerce,] simply
because the market is growing so quickly," says Rosalind
Resnick, co-author of The Internet Business Guide (Macmillan
Publishing, $25, 800-858-7674) and president of NetCreations Inc.,
a New York City provider of opt-in e-mail marketing services.
"The great thing about the Net is that there are almost no
barriers to entry. You can just put up a Web site and start selling
products and services online."
