2. Why should the internet
matter to you?
• The world we live in is shrinking, the internet has the power
to connect people across the world, cheaply and quickly. This
presents a great advantage for businesses
• In Ghana current levels of internet penetration is quickly
approaching 10%
• Internet providers you might be familiar with include MTN,
Tigo, Airtel and Vodafone

3. Is the internet good for
every business?
• The answer to this question, as with many other resources, is
that it depends.
• The internet is a vast space, so it’s important to figure out
which message you would like to send. This will help you
determine the appropriate presence.

4. What kind of tools does the
internet offer?
• Email: This is a fast and efficient way to send messages to and receive
them from potential clients and others you may work with.
• Social Media: This is a great way to send your message to a broad
audience and have them share it with others. Popular sites include Twitter,
Facebook, Linkedin and Google Plus
• Managing your finances: This is fundamental to the survival and growth of
your business. There are many packages available, during today’s
presentation you will be introduced to a free software package
customized for Ghana called Start Smart
• Websites and Blogs: They offer a organized place where clients can get to
know basics about your business and stay up to date

5. Keys to using the internet
• Beware of what you make available. The internet is a public
space so if there are things you’d rather not have others see,
don’t put them up.
• Be a regular user
• Don’t be afraid to explore and try out new things, you never
know what you’ll find
