Now, what is a cyberpreneur? It is a combination of the words
'cyber' and 'entrepreneur' and loosely means many things but generally regarded as meaning an entrepreneur who has an online based business on the Internet that targets international consumers. These cyberpreneurs do not need offices or extensive support staff all over the world. They just need an idea, a great idea, and a cable to the Internet. Samsul Zamzuri fits this description perfectly in all sense of the word. He belongs to a new generation of business men that have an ambitious international outlook with great scalable ideas. By connecting to a flat world platform and utilizing modern workflow and collaborative tools, they have involved themselves in a new kind of business that knows no boundaries and is only limited to where the influence of the Internet and the World Wide Web touches. Sitting from his living room and with his trusty laptop and clicks from his mouse, he makes RM 15,000 a month with barely any cost.
How does he do it? What does he actually do? This report is a small insight into the man, his mind and how he works. Cyberpreneur Research
