One of the mistakes I think I committed when I started my Internet Cafe business was not having enough capital. You see I started with exact capital and I bought a mixed of second hand and brand new computer units back then. After a year I felt the effect. Some customers especially those hardcore computer gamers doesn’t want to sit on the terminal with old computers that resulted I did not maximize profit. I also haven’t thought that web2.0 would really make Internet Cafe customers busy and again older units somehow won’t let them maximize their usage since websites like friendster, myspace and imeem would require faster computers and higher RAM.

It could have been a different story if I had more cash when I put this Icafe. Probably, I bought much better and brand new computer units that would extend the life span of my Icafe business in the location where customers knew fast from slow computers.

My 4 years of running the business was a great experience though. I came to know more about my capabilities as a person, I’ve seen a lot of real life stories and of course at least I can share knowledge to future Internet cafe owners.

To summarize this entry, as much as possible don’t start your Internet Cafe Business if you only have exact capital because there will be always some unforseen issues along the way. Buying of second hand computer units should be out the plan.
