Work on the Internet gives us the opportunity to work with millions of people around the world. They could start working on the Internet from various levels of investment of money and / or time.

Give an example (from Wikipedia):

Founded in 1995 by Craig New mark. In 1999, Craigslist expanded to 9 cities, 2000 and reached across the United States in 2006, coverage had about 310 cities around the world. Their only source of income is through the collection of classified ads for employment in select cities ($ 75 per ad for the Bay Area of ​​San Francisco, $ 25 per ad for New York, Los Angeles, Boston, Seattle, Washington, DC and listings of real estate agencies in New York ($ 10 per ad)).

Receives about 20 billion page views per month, taking over 10 million new classified ads each month, Craigslist is the service’s number one classified ads in any media. Although the company does not disclose financial information, the press has speculated that its annual revenues have grown from $ 10 million in 2004 to 150 million in 2007.

The exploits of small advances work begun on the Internet are many, and we can see that growth continues. Testimonials works continue to appear on the Internet that are initiated to achieve true wealth. Other large numbers we have at Google, with more than 20 000 employees a turnover of almost 24 billion dollars last year. We also have Twitter with 175 employees, even without a profit for their work, investors are betting on good returns and continues to receive venture capital.

Thus, the ranking that divides the annual billings for the number of employees was as follows:

1. Craigslist: more than three million 330 thousand U.S. dollars for each employee.

2. Google: it reaches only one third the leader of the list, with one million 190 thousand per worker. In this case we must consider that the number of employees is much greater (20 mil).

3. Amazon: U.S. company e-commerce was just under Google, with a million 10 000 per worker.

4. Facebook: the online community failed to pass the million-dollar barrier, leaving the not inconsiderable sum of $ 920,000.

5. eBay: The auction site for the product over the Internet, one of the pioneers in this type of transaction, it reached $ 530,000, according to data released by 37 Signals.

6. Yahoo!: amounted to $ 460,000 per employee.

7. Twitter: the virtual community appears below its main competitor, Facebook, with 142 000 $ 857 for each worker.

Before starting any business, people must know you exist. On the Internet people find you through your address, which is your domain name. With the relentless growth of Internet domains. Com is still selling like hotcakes, there are currently over 20 million domains. Com, and around 34 million domain names registered globally. Industry experts predict that over 500 million domains will be registered in the next 10 years. Indeed major companies in this field like Intel are predicting that every personal computer will have its own domain name

In 1998, the boom point. Com began to increase to unimaginable proportions. So many Internet companies were scattered everywhere in Silicon Valley, and elsewhere at an incredible pace. But while most people were focused on things like Content, Banner, Advertising and Internet bandwidth at Michael Reed and Alan Ezeir, CEO and president of Global Domains International. Inc (GDI), realized that there was a valuable opportunity that was largely ignored, and asked, “Are there other domain names instead of the point. Com companies or individuals can use to conduct business and be fully available ?

Mike and Alan were aware that the mid-90′s authority to assign numbers to the Internet (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA)). Assigned each country a code to avoid excessive congestion. Com. These codes were assigned for each country will use the Internet addresses according to their own needs. For example, Colombia was assigned the point. Co, United States. Us, Argentina the point.
