A small business, home office file sharing network is a group of computers within the same network (Subnet), capable of sharing files with one another.
There are two methods of setting up a small business, home office network. The first method is to have one main computer as the share point for files and printers.

What you need to learn is local internet marketing, and regardless of your business you will quickly start receiving traffic (customers) to your website.
Local internet marketing works because instead of trying to market to the whole world, you just take on a small piece. By narrowing your focus, you also narrow your competition.
