Customer Feedback
A web site can be an excellent way to let your customers tell you what they really think about you, your website, your company and your services.
Good companies can dramatically improve their profits by providing the facility on their website where customers can leave feedback for all website visitors to read.

Give or Sell Information
This is what the Internet was created for, getting information on everything and anything.
However, if you want to sell information you need to ask yourselves some questions.
- Is there a demand for the information?
- Is it already available on the net for free?
- Is it available locally for free, in a library, etc?
If the answer is yes to any of these questions then you probably won't sell the information you have to make it worthwhile.
Create an 'Extended Business Card' for your company
Now this is something that maybe worth considering even for those companies that would otherwise never need or want a web site.
It is an inexpensive way of providing a customer or business associate with a little more information about you and your company than you can fit on a business card.
Make Loads of Money Really Fast
If you want to make your fortune really fast, then the Internet is probably not the place to do it as most websites don't make a penny from the Internet.
This is not to say you can not make money...
Provide Services and Support to Your Customers
Providing information via online Services and Support can be a very good idea for any company that handles many repeat email and phone enquiries from customers asking them about how to use a product or service or wanting access to a piece of information.
Promote Your Ideas, Hobbies or Beliefs
This is probably the biggest reason for setting up a personal web site.
There are countless web sites on the Internet that are there not to make money, but to promote ideas, hobbies, or beliefs.
In fact the Internet is an excellent way to do this and you can create a real community of people with the same interests as yourself. It's also a great way to get to know more people.
Advertise Your Company or Product
The Internet can be an excellent way to promote your company, products and services.
However, be aware that simply having a website is no guarantee that you will attract many visitors all wanting to buy from you. With so many web sites out there and 100's more being created everyday it is becoming harder and harder to promote a new site on the Internet. The most effective way to promote your new website is to include your site address on all methods of traditional contact and advertising to let new and existing customers know they can find out more information about the company via the internet.
REASONS TO GO ON-LINE
The majority of companies making money from the Internet are traditional companies that make their living through normal outlets such as manufacturing, retail and financial services, but then go on to supplement their revenues by expanding their business through the Internet. The internet is also an excellent way to extend your market presence both nationally and internationally.
Others making money are companies with low overheads offering unusual products or services that cannot be found locally.
Companies with Customer Support departments may find that they can improve efficiency by providing on-line access to frequently asked questions, user guides, brochures, technical tips, etc.
