| There is a market, you would likely have a better chance if you find a good niche to get into..

| I always advise upstart clients to find that niche and try and hit the local market. The mainstream webhosting companies are plentiful, but there is always room for a good niche company. The local market often is untapped as well - people don't know they can get on the net for less than it prices for a yellow page ad in many cases.

| If i am an Advertiser i will never go around atleast Google Adsense !
It's Too expensive & they don't give you much Signups ...
I have advertised a bit for my site thier ... Spent like a total of $200 & got like just 2 signups through them !

| Word of Mouth' is simply the most effective, and cheapest way to promote your business. Start bugging your friends, perhaps run an affiliate program and give them 80% of new sign ups.
and I agree with Tamranda, Adsense is nonsense. Makes you go backrupt much sooner than you can 'sense'

| Let's just say the success rate of any business is pretty bleak. The numbers sure don't show very promising results. LIke 75% or so fail within their first year.

Even though it is related to agriculture the article sets a large standard of things business should do and contains a wide variety of statistics.
