bridge Bridging The Online  Offline Gap To Form New Business Models Just when you think you cannot think of anything unique that what we have, the human mind never ceases to surprise me. I was just thinking about the innumerable ways we could earn money and start businesses just by bridging the online world with the yet-to-go-online one. Just think, there is actually too much to go in here, but we will try to cover some of my personal favorites:

You could start by offering thousands of products with all kinds of web services that are required for small businesses like web hosting, domain names, email-marketing software along with auto-responders.

Now, most small businesses do make the mistake of getting an expensive designer to make a stupid looking, nonsensical website that just sits on a server never doing a damned thing for the business itself. Why not bean Internet marketing consultant and allow that website to develop leads for the business? You could use the same software that you sold to them in the first place, and for a fixed retainer per month, take charge of the entire marketing part for their businesses.

Trust me, the fact that you are reading this right now tells me that you know much more than an average small business owner who is far too busy to even have an email id. He isn’t bothered about productivity tools, time-tracking software, invoicing tools, CRM and anything else that you would have come to see on the Internet. They don’t even know anything about wordpress and the fact that websites can be made and put up in 10 minutes flat.

This knowledge is a moneymaker; why not use it to start your own Internet consulting business? You could just help offline businesses start using Internet as a major channel for sales, customer support and allow them to reach out to a global market?
