5. Types of Entrepreneurships
on the Internet
Actually, there
is no type of entrepreneur, but it is possible to classify entrepreneurs. according
to their behavior, perspective on events, and motivation to become an entrepreneur.
Accordingly, the types of entrepreneurs on the internet are We can divide them
into four groups: merchant entrepreneur, businessman entrepreneur,
technological entrepreneur and forced entrepreneur.
5.1. Merchant
Entrepreneur
it is the type
of entrepreneur who focuses not on innovation but on the product that can be sold
best in the market at that moment. He doesn't care much about the product he
sells. A website that sells socks today can establish a dating site tomorrow.
The only thing they look at here is the ability to predict what is currently
making money in the market without going back too far and to turn it into money
quickly. We can give Bill Gates and Sakıp Sabancı as examples of this
type of entrepreneurs. These types of entrepreneurs do not have very close
contact with education such as a master's degree in business administration
or even a bachelor's degree, and their relationship with education is not very
good. In summary, the commercial intelligence of these people is at a high
level.
5.2.
Businessman Entrepreneur
They are people
who embark on entrepreneurship with what they read, developments in business
life, environmental factors and what they learned at school. These types of entrepreneurs
usually start working in corporate life and decide to become entrepreneurs when
they see an opportunity or when they get bored or cannot find what they
expected in corporate life. What can make these types of entrepreneurs
successful is limited to what they have learned in corporate life and the
strength of their business networks. Of course, the person's character and
internal motivations are among the other factors that affect success. What can
make these types of entrepreneurs’ fail is their commercial incompetence and
being too innovation oriented.
5.3.
Technological Entrepreneur
It is an
example of an entrepreneur who has a high technical background and realizes
that he can turn this into money. Commercial intelligence and the person's
character are still effective, but the biggest deficiency in this type of entrepreneur
is that they think that technology will be enough to make money. What these
types of entrepreneurs need to do is to focus on technological innovation and open-source
code and to cooperate with merchant entrepreneurs and business entrepreneurs,
otherwise they will move towards becoming freelance software developers.
5.4. Compulsory Entrepreneur
These types of
entrepreneurs are generally people prepared by wealthy families to take over
companies. Both the education he receives and his environment are intended to
prepare him for the future. The plus of these entrepreneurs is that they do not
go through financial difficulties. The downside is that money-making abilities
develop slowly at first.

Entrepreneurship and E-Commerce
As a result of
the development of internet-based technologies after the 1990s, entrepreneurs
have had the opportunity to both open up to new markets and carry out their
activities with more affordable financing opportunities. Therefore, we can say
that rapid developments in information technologies have a positive impact on
the entrepreneur. For the knowledge-based economy, information and information
technologies play an important role and provide competitive advantage to
economies. The source of this competitive advantage encourages entrepreneurs to
own businesses of all sizes. Today, entrepreneurs should make the internet and

found that bringing buyers and sellers together online is a very practical
method. It is now possible to see brand new e-commerce models on the internet.

such as sites publishing coupons, auction sites, selling opportunity products
in a limited time, selling a limited number of discounted products. Some of
these have achieved great success and become widespread throughout the world.
