2006 could be your year to leave the corporate rat race forever and start your own Internet business. If you’ve thought about starting an online company, there is no better time than right now to go for it! There are many advantages to starting an online company. Internet business owners get to enjoy perks like:

-- Low start-up costs. If you own a computer, you have just about all the equipment you need to start an Internet business. You need an online presence, a good product or service, and a good marketing plan. That’s it! You should plan to invest some money in advertising, but the materials and resources you’ll need are negligible in comparison to brick-and-mortar business.

-- Instant beginnings. You won’t have to wait six months to a year to launch your online company. You can be up in running within days of completing your business plan—or even hours!

-- Massive audience. There are billions of people online. Once you start an Internet business and learn how to reach your target market, your supply of potential customers is endless.

-- Work from home. This is the single biggest attraction to starting an Internet business. No more commutes, no more expensive wardrobes, and no renting office space for your online company. Set your own hours and be your own boss!

-- Save some trees—and your fingers. How much paperwork is involved in an Internet business? Virtually none! Pun aside, you can carry out just about all of your transactions online, and save some paper as well as your time in keeping your records straight.

So, how about those hot 2006 Internet businesses? Here are just a few examples of online companies you can start now:

Selling information
What do you use the Internet for most of the time? If you’re like most people, your answer here is “research.” The Internet is a natural delivery format for information of all kinds. If you have information on something people want to know about, you can start an Internet business selling e-books, articles, reports, whitepapers, audio content, or just about any variation of electronic information you can think of.

Travel agency
The online travel market in the United States is growing by leaps and bounds, taking a full 23 percent of travel purchases in 2004 as more and more people book reservations and order airline, train or bus tickets online. You can get yourself a piece of this $54 billion industry by opening an online travel agency company and helping people find places to stay, make reservations, and offer a variety of services designed to make life easier for travelers. The best bet for starting an online travel agency as an Internet business is to choose a specific market segment (such as travel to a particular European country), and focus on that. Make deals with area hotels that will attract customers to your business.

eBay store
You can sell anything on eBay! Take your time to build up your reputation as an eBay seller, and then open up your own eBay storefront to become an Internet business owner. You can develop and sell your own products, or you can go through an affiliate program and sell drop-ship items with a simple-to-set-up eBay storefront. Getting an eBay store is a great way to set up an online company.

Web service firm
More and more companies are outsourcing projects in order to avoid hiring too many employees. With a little bit of know-how, you can start an Internet business as a service contractor and perform such jobs as website design, website promotion, or online security consulting (or any other type of consulting). As with any online company, the secret to success is choosing one area to specialize in, and then offer the best services in that area.

Export/Import Business
The Internet is a huge boon to exporters and importers. Demand for foreign made products is increasing around the world, and you can get in on the action by starting your own trade leads, B2B exchange or global marketplace Internet business. This exciting opportunity for an online company has powerful potential, as the Internet provides you with the opportunity to connect with billions of people around the world!

Drazga is the founder of the "Work in Your Bunnyslippers Day" and produces events for entrepreneurs including the Bunnyslipper Business Bootcamp, and the Women's Web Workshop. "On the 3rd Friday of every February, I encourage every one to work in their bunnyslippers. Sure, you might get some strange looks if you're still working a 'real job,'" she adds, "but it's a great way to practice the entrepreneur lifestyle!"

Drazga has invited speaker, author, and Internet guru Tom Antion to share his knowledge in an information-packed one day. Tom Antion is an internationally acclaimed expert in Internet Marketing for small business. He has a very simple "Three Prong Attack" on Internet marketing, which is extremely easy to use. Tom is no "techie." All he cares about is where to click to make money and he teaches his students the exact techniques he uses to pull in $75,000.00 to $220,000.00 in a month from his home office.

"I'm going to give so much information, your brain will feel like oatmeal… in a good way!" says Antion. "This is the ultimate crash course in starting a web-business!"

"It’s a common misconception that in order to thrive online, business owners need to be tech-savvy. This just isn’t true," adds Antion. At the Butt Camp attendees from all walks of life will learn how to become a money-making Internet entrepreneur starting from scratch.

In addition to the Butt Camp on Saturday, Drazga will provide a complimentary planning and goal setting session on Sunday to any attendee who wants to walk away with a plan of action.
