Internet Business in Indonesia Are All Around Us

Many people ask me, what do I get into businesses that utilize the Internet ?. I can only answer questions that they may have a more brilliant ideas than me. It seems many think that the business on the Internet means that companies like Google, Yahoo, or Twitter, which create products and software for online. And now companies like it far surpassed by hundreds or even thousands of other businesses that utilize the Internet. Call it, a local newspaper, bank, or anyone you meet on the street.

Businesses using the Internet no longer need a magnificent building, filled with computers and servers. Currently it takes a laptop, can also only by phone. 

In 2011, a typical Internet business in Indonesia is the floral. Two years ago, Ade Liska build "butikbunga.com" to sell flower arrangements via the Internet. In her site she offers a variety of wreaths and provide ease of delivery to those who pay through the BCA. A surprise, 15% of orders come from abroad. Apparently, many people overseas who want to send flowers to his native Indonesia.

Floral probably never existed in the idea of ​​anyone of the technological revolution, but they along with others is a leader in the technology revolution. Another example is Umala, "batik craftsman" who was recently named KlikMob use Google products to advertise via cell phone. He managed to sell its products to six new customers in just a week.

Feels more exciting again when there are more than thousands of people and businesses throughout Indonesia which expanded its traditional business to explore new mediums. The field of enterprise business I tried to shorten this distance with the innovators. The way to make everything as easy as possible for them to get as many customers in the towns, villages, or even the whole world.

Today audiences are always talking about technology that large numbers of this. Many believe there will be 1.2 billion Internet users in Indonesia, Brazil, China, Russia, and India in 2015. Nowadays even Facebook and Twitter users in Indonesia is number two in the world. The numbers are often used as a measure of the influence of the internet in the flow of information and new ways of fostering communication between individuals. Indeed they are.
 
But that is often overlooked is how the numbers could encourage economic growth at all levels of society and to provide more tangible impact for the lowest layers of society.

We learn that the innovators in the online business to add value to the industry even able to compete with other national sources of economic drivers. In the countries of Great Britain and Northern Europe with high Internet penetration, the Internet can contribute 7% of gross domestic product (GDP). Contribution of 6% seen in Hong Kong, which previously supported by many container industry, finance, and shopping centers than computer programs. But since the financial, shopping, and shipping now many use the internet, Hong Kong was listed as the top in internet use.
 
These figures are usually surprised the politicians. Traditionally, large companies with large plants are being enlarged industrial markers. But with the Internet, no longer a big factory that made the difference, but rather the thousands and thousands more small kiosk connects billions of people who communicate online. In short, if you want to calculate the value of the internet, do not look at his company. Better talk to the merchants or floral batik which has been successfully exporting the craft.

Micro and small entrepreneurs in Indonesia individually might like midgets than giants such as power plants or car factory. However, if you start counting the value-added entrepreneurs are collectively in the last few years, you will realize the economic revolution taking place. And verily, you are part of that revolution.
