The internet provides access to global audiences and markets. Where are you located and is your market influenced by your location?
I’m an Australian, living on the Far South Coast of New South Wales. This is more or less the south eastern corner of the Australian mainland. I’m about half way between Australia’s two major cities: Sydney one way and Melbourne the other. It’s about a day’s drive to either.

Every day there are new people coming to the web. I have some who are recent retirees who are looking at a new business venture they can easily manage from the comfort of their own home. On the other end of the age spectrum, there are those who are lookig to the internet as their future. Never mind about boring stuffy jobs in an office or factory! One such person is Stephanie Meagher, of blahblahbox.com. This dynamic young webmistress is taking the world head on - and by all accounts, winning!
I was interested to learn of her promotional techniques and approach to search engines at the end of the interview.
The internet provides access to global audiences and markets. Where are you located and is your market influenced by your location?
I live in a small village in Ireland, with no broadband access yet which can make running an Internet based business difficult. But I’ve got people from all over the world signing up to my website and most of them assume I’m American, so I don’t think it matters too much where I’m located.
