Yes, there are the internet entrepreneurs who come up with an original product, run with it and create a product that everyone immediately wants – niche marketing of the highest order. But as with any walk of life, those entrepreneurs are both few and far between as well as being risk takers.

Most people don’t like taking huge risks or have that creative spark and even if they do, don’t know how to run with their idea.
