NATIONAL SMALL BUSINESS WEEK MAY 16-20
Internet Entrepreneur’s Strategies Are Key to Many Small Business Successes
As Detailed in New Book, GET RICH CLICK!
NEW YORK, NY (May 11)— President Obama has proclaimed May 16-20 National Small
Business Week to recognize the contributions of small businesses to the economic well-being of
America. There are an estimated 27.2 million small businesses in the United States, and more
than half of Americans either own or work for a small business.
“As the characters in the film The Social Network said, you either get a job or create a job,” said
Ostrofsky, who has been an online entrepreneur for over 20 years. His sale of the domain name
Business.com is in the Guinness Book of World Records, and his current companies (including
SummerCamps.com, CuffLinks.com, Blinds.com, and eTickets.com) net over $75 million
annually.
In his new book GET RICH CLICK! The Ultimate Guide to Making Money on the Internet,
Ostrofsky features the rags-to-riches success stories of many small business owners across
America. There’s Goodecompany.com, a family-owned Texas BBQ business that now makes
millions online by shipping their signature pecan pies country-wide. Blinds.com began with
$1,500 and a one-page website and is now the 10th fastest growing e-commerce company.
“Today you don’t need more than Internet access and a Smartphone to start working and seeing
results,” Ostrofsky said. “Small business owners have a wealth of opportunity and advantages
literally at their fingertips. They can find their niche, their customers, their supplies, and their
labor more efficiently than large companies can, and they can quickly innovate and update their
products as the need arises.”
Among the techniques Ostrofsky advocates and describes in-depth in the book:
 How to sell items online using just a photo, requiring no money up front.
 How people are using blogs, e-mail, Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube to find customers
and promote their products.
 How to outsource parts of your business to other men and women working online around
the world to keep your new business’ expenses low.
 How to make a full-time living from home writing and creating instructional e-books.
 How anyone can buy Internet “traffic” for a few cents per visitor and re-sell it for 5x, 10x
or even 25x the amount paid
 How to earn income by providing business and customer leads to other websites
This information is critical and inspiring in these tough economic times—as more people lose
their salaried jobs or make a deliberate decision to strike out on their own. “The real e-
commerce boom is just beginning,” said Ostrofsky, “and there are abundant opportunities for
motivated and enthusiastic small businesses owners.”
