Small-Cap CEO Lesson: Chinese Internet Users To Surpass Entire US Population In 2009

Posted by AGORACOM at 8:46 PM on Tuesday, January 6th, 2009

You’re a small-cap CEO and thinking about ways to broaden your shareholder base. You can continue knocking/calling/e-mailing the same people from the same tired lists, or you can take your message to the entire world via online investor relations.

Personally, I think the entire world is a better target market.  If you need more proof about how big of an audience we are talking about, consider the fact that 2009 will be the year when Chinese internet users surpass the total population of the United States.  Here’s the graph courtesy of CNN and JP Morgan:

As you can see, by December 2009, China will have 322 million internet users. That is a blow away number, let alone the 375 million expected to be online by December 2010.

Anybody interested in creating a long-term shareholder base out of this group over the next 2-3 years?  I can tell you AGORACOM is already planning to create a massive Chinese stock community.  Look for news by mid-February.

Hat Tip to Paul Kedrosky for the story.
