Your potential in succeeding this business is huge. Internet access in the Philippines is only 9%, or about 7.8 million of the 87 million Filipinos (during my research) have internet access. Absolutely, the 91% or 79.2 million is a big market!
What does this mean?
This business will definitely earn you extra money. We know that not all Filipinos can buy a computer, so they usually visit the internet cafe shops just to be online. Or, some could not afford to pay their broadband subscription on a monthly basis that's why these people will also become your customers in the future =).
Based on my personal experience, I have been in the Internet Cafe industry for more than 7 years now and all I can say is that this type of business is getting better than ever in terms of profit. For example, another reason why people should go to your shop is to access their Friendster, watch clips on Youtube, chat to their love ones using Yahoo Messenger and have a video conference, listen to the music and for teens to play games. As long the internet is evolving your business will also evolve! Not to mention that you can also sell drinks, snacks and loads (for online games and cellphones).
So, if you are thinking which business to choose, try Internet Cafe. Every hour = PESOS here and every square meter is a fortune!
Goodluck!
