An entrepreneur is someone who starts a business. Often the business is new and risky. The Internet has made it possible for many new entrepreneurs to become successful. In some cases, Internet entrepreneurs create new services that don’t require factories or stores. This lowers their costs. The Internet also increases the number of people a new business can reach. But to reach people successfully, entrepreneurs need strong communication skills to sell their ideas. That is, they need to use words to help communicate their ideas and convince people to support them.
