The Internet Opportunity Continues to Grow. (and here's why)

Hey, everybody!

Today, I want to tackle a topic that tends to weigh on the minds of entrepreneurs, both new and seasoned—the fear that opportunities are disappearing. It’s an ongoing concern in the online world, but I want to discuss why that fear might actually work in your favor and why the opportunity in the online space is only growing.

1. The Fear of Vanishing Opportunity

Whether you're new or have been in the game for years, that nagging feeling that you might be missing out or that opportunities are drying up is natural. But, instead of letting that fear paralyze you, use it to motivate yourself to continually evolve and improve. It’s this fear that can push you to stay innovative and adaptable in the fast-paced online world.

2. Is Opportunity Shrinking or Expanding?

A lot of people worry that the "golden age" of online opportunity has passed, but that couldn't be further from the truth. The more people that come online, the more opportunity there is to get your content, products, or services in front of them. Think about it—back in 2002, when I started, there were billions fewer people online, yet it still felt like there was infinite potential. Fast forward to today, with over 5.5 billion people online, the opportunity is only expanding.

3. More Channels Than Ever

The landscape of online marketing has certainly changed, but in a way that provides more opportunities than ever before. Whether you’re leveraging platforms like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, or even search engines like Google and Bing, the channels for reaching your audience are broader and more diverse than ever. Plus, we can’t forget the massive potential of paid advertising, which is another avenue for reaching large audiences.

4. Monetization and Tools

5. Is the Opportunity Growing or Shrinking?

In short, as long as the Internet continues to grow—and with billions of people coming online every year—so too does the opportunity. Online spending is growing, affiliate marketing is booming, and the number of products and services you can promote is constantly increasing. All the statistics point to continued growth, not decline. So, don’t worry about running out of opportunities anytime soon.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on this. Has the fear of shrinking opportunity been a concern for you? If you’re just starting out, does this worry you? And if you’ve been online for a while, do you sometimes get so focused on one strategy that you forget how vast the opportunities still are?
