Internet Marketer in Indonesia: Potential Market!

Based on recent statistic, population of Indonesia has reached more than 220 million people and has more than 25 million Internet User! It's not really a great percentage, but still, it's quite huge of numbers! Last few years, Indonesia experiencing rapid growth in Internet User every year. It means that Internet Marketer in Indonesia has more and more opportunity in this field. Every year there are bunch of New Internet Marketer players join into this new world.

Few years back, I'm still thinking it is quite impossible for Indonesia to have such of this market due to many barriers (slow internet, expensive internet, many people do not have computer - or maybe have no idea what is computer look like -, and the list goes on and on ...). As I look the market today, I have to admit that my old perception is absolutely wrong! Lots of people from diverse demographics have used Internet for thousand reasons. Some just used it for fun, e-mail, browsing, chatting, when others used it for business purposes (either individual or company).

Whatever the reason is, the most important thing is that we realize there are lots niche and potential market outthere! One of the tools that is used by most of Internet Marketer is SEO (Search Engine Optimization). These days, many people are very grateful to Google because of SEO technique. It's faster, cheaper, and much more FOCUS and TARGETED!

For example, if you need to advertise your products in newspapers, you need to pay at least few millions dollar just for 2 or maybe 3 short line. And it may not targeted very well into your potential customers. While in SEO, if you put proper keyword on your website, when people search for those things through google search engine and they are able to find your website, they have become your POTENTIAL customer immediately! Let's put it this way, when people try to look for a flowers shop in google, they won't search for pet shop through google search engine.
