I just read this article by Seth Godin on “How to make money using the Internet”
Seth Godin tells us that, “The dramatic leverage of the net more than overcomes the downs of the current economy.”

He says the way to use that leverage is through connection and by using “the Internet as a tool, not as an end. Connect the disconnected to each other and you create value.” “Making money”, states Seth, is done “not by building an Internet company, but by using the net as a tool to create value and get paid.”

Here are some ways to connect:
•    Connect advertisers to people who want to be advertised to.
•    Connect job hunters with jobs.
•    Connect information seekers with information.
•    Connect teams to each other.
•    Connect those seeking similar things.
•    Connect to partners and those that can leverage your work.
•    Connect people who are proximate geographically.
•    Connect organizations spending money with ways to save money.
•    Connect like-minded people into a movement.
•    Connect people buying with people who are selling.

Seth gives us many real life success stories of how to leverage the Internet if “you are part of a big organization or do it as a soloist.”

Seth’s real life success is worth delineating so that you can see that the opportunity can be big, if that's your taste, or small if you don't want to invest heavily just yet.”

“The best time to do any of these projects was five years ago, so that today you'd be earning thousands of dollars a week.  It’s not too late.  The second best time to start: now.”
