Great article on 2009 Internet Stats here
Few things jump out at you. Being in business one of the blocks of number is:
Internet users
* 1.73 billion – Internet users worldwide (September 2009).
* 18% – Increase in Internet users since the previous year.
* 738,257,230 – Internet users in Asia.
* 418,029,796 – Internet users in Europe.
* 252,908,000 – Internet users in North America.
* 179,031,479 – Internet users in Latin America / Caribbean.
* 67,371,700 – Internet users in Africa.
* 57,425,046 – Internet users in the Middle East.
* 20,970,490 – Internet users in Oceania / Australia.
So you don’t have to be a genius to see that no matter where you live there is a massive amount of people using the internet. That being the case it’s safe to assume there should be plenty of work now and in the future. The Malicious Code numbers are also pretty impressive especially on a “daily” basis.
Now all that matters is can your cusotmers find you? Are you doing the proper advertising for your business? To me those numbers mean to have a “massive” presence on the Internet in one way shape or form i.e. website(s), social networking, etc.
