Two years ago, when I had been working online about a
year, an online colleague approached me about writing an article for a
special edition of his newsletter which was to feature successful women
online. Naturally, I agreed.

As I was researching for the article, I read a
statistic that revealed that women over 50 were one of the fastest
growing groups of internet users. That didn't surprise me, as at the
time I was approaching that "golden age" and had contact with others
online who were also in that age group.

All these women were using the vehicle of the internet to earn an income online - and the numbers were growing every day.

So I wrote the article, and it was published not only in my colleague's newsletter but many others as well.

Now, two years later, I realize that the things I
discussed in that article are as relevant today as they were two years
ago when the article was first published - and we all know that for
anything to stay current online for two years it must be significant!

For that reason, I feel that they bear repeating again.
After all, there are an untold number of women - in this age group as
well as younger - who have entered the world of internet business since
that first article was published two years ago.

So what did I reveal in that article? Consider this...

Women of ALL ages have made a conscious decision to
tackle the complexities of technology in order to achieve their own
goals and aspirations, whatever they may be.

What is it about the internet that is so appealing to
women? It's quite obvious, actually. The internet is a massively large
vehicle for what? Communication. And what do women generally do better
than men? You got it...communicate!

Look around, and you see women everywhere online. And
what else do you see? Sites created by women - providing every type of
information, service, or opportunity you can imagine.

Who are these women? People you know -

• Young mothers working from home in order to be there with their children
  

• Former corporate executives using skills learned on the job to create their own successful businesses online
  

• Empty nesters who find themselves embracing the technology of their children's generation
  

• Young women just out of school who have chosen
  the career path of entrepreneur and are using the internet to achieve
  those dreams

Each is different - but you can be sure that all these women
have certain characteristics in common. They have the determination to
tackle the often confusing technology of the internet, and they have
the passion it takes to accomplish their goals.

And succeed they do - in large numbers!
