Is the internet the key to solving South Africa's unemployment crisis?

Submitted by: Harry Heydon

Johannesburg author Harry Heydon believes that for many, a livable income and in some cases even wealth is just a few mouse clicks away.

Heydon, who is an on line entrepreneur and Pastor has had a passion for job creation for a number of years. As a result he has twice been awarded NEDBANK Local Hero Status for job creation and has recently published his book: “EARN and GROW RICH on the Internet” A guide for the complete novice. 

At the tender age of sixty, seeing the gradual disappearance of traditional ‘jobs’ and with no computer knowledge or skills whatsoever, this author decided to investigate the possibilities of earning money on the internet. He stated: “To me cyberspace may just have well been outer space for all that I knew about it” He then invested over six hundred hours of research into probing the potential of the World Wide Web. He quickly determined that the vast majority of on line offerings benefited their promoters and not anyone else. Statistics revealed that 98% of those who try to earn on line fail, but of the remaining 2% more millionaires have been created than ever before in history. Among the clutter of information overload that comprises the make up of the commercial internet, Heydon found that there were in fact systems that could not only generate money, but if used with diligence could generate a lot of money for an individual. Equally importantly they are very simple to use and apply, requiring little or no skills. He believes that they have often been overlooked due to the false belief that the internet creates ‘instant millionaires’. Nothing could be further from the truth however, there has never been any substitute for the time required to create and earn from a business. However, the internet most definitely does provide a far shorter ‘growth’ time than off line business generally.

Most importantly, these systems require no capital investment, no franchise fees, and can begin to earn for an entrepreneur from day one. And there is no risk of financial loss whatever! Literally anyone from any area of society can start earning on the internet with no cash outlay initially, and as they progress incrementally ramp it up to a higher level. At the end of the day a total outlay of perhaps R500 will provide business systems with an almost unlimited income potential, dependent only on the time and effort applied, and not any capital investment. Yet another big plus is the fact that most earnings are in United States Dollars which not only significantly amplifies personal earnings but actually imports money into South Africa. The potential for on line income for individuals and the benefits to the nation are incalculable.

It is also noteworthy that anyone, anywhere in the World could apply these systems successfully.

This is what one reader said on the popular book review site Ask David.Com “This is really quite easy to do. I just read through the whole book (about 4 or 5 hours) then the next day started with actually doing part one. And I made a few cents right away, my first on line money! It is quite clear and easy to do, and I believe that I am for sure one of those who can get rich, because I have found in myself the desire to make a bit more of an effort than the average person…”

“EARN and GROW RICH on the Internet” provides an easy to read and apply set of step by step instructions that takes the reader through everything from on line business set up to using on line payment processors, obtaining international credit and debit cards and more. Whilst this may not be the cure for South Africa’s employment maladies, it could go a long way toward solving the problem. Basic economics dictate that more people earning creates many more jobs in consumer and support disciplines. With the added impact of Dollars being imported there is no question that the Internet provides a massive source of potential for self employment in South Africa. If this could be introduced to the public en masse Heydon believes that the positive ramifications would abound. His book takes all the guesswork out of successfully earning on line. He contends that anyone aged 15 to 115 can do this. High School students could build an income before they have left school. There is no niche or exclusion with this type of business. Housewives, pensioners, businessmen, disabled people, unemployed, sequestrated – anyone with a computer and internet connection can earn anything from an extra income to a top income, from almost any location. The potential for personal freedom is unparalleled.
