The talk was organized by Wawasan Paradigma Sdn Bhd and TM Ads Solution Enterprise, under the program called DiJari:
I did not go into advanced technical details, but I shared with the participants my thoughts:
1. The Internet as a tool
The Internet can greatly help us to manage our time - for example, we used to go to banks to pay our bills, and this monthly activity can eat up a considerable amount of our time and money(parking, queues, summons, petrol, etc.), over and over again every month. With the existence of online banking (Maybank2U, AMBank Online, etc.), we need to only spend a few minutes in front of our computer to settle our bills and payments. So, even if you say that its difficult to use the Internet, why don't you go over the difficulties of learning ONCE, and then have an easier life after that?
Much like doing business... do the hard work once, even if the work required is harder than the work you have in your employment, and then reap the rewards over and over again.
2. The Internet as a global gateway
The Internet can also open up new business channels for your products and services. If you restrict yourself to doing business in the physical world, then your customers will be restricted to those who can reach your shop. By having an online presence (such as a website, or an online advertisement subscribtion), you can reach more people - imagine... there are 540,000,000 people in Asia... and if you can capture 0.2% of this market, you can have 1,080,000 people who would know about your products and services. And if your product is RM10.00 each, 10% of the 1,080,000 people will generate you a sales revenue of more than RM1 million!!!!
So, if you haven't done so already, learn how to exploit the Internet to begin building a solid business!
