Personally, I think Internet Marketing has great potential. Start up costs are low and monthly overhead can be less than $500/month. Creative people can sell their own products or you can sell other peoples products. Selling other peoples products is called Affilaite Marketing.

Local businesses don’t need a fancy website. They just need to have a consistent presence in all the business directories on the net. They need to manager their reputation by responding to all comments in social media. People look for service using their smart phones. If they don’t find you, you will be loosing business.
