Brazilians are keen users of technology, growth rates of brazilian internet are extremely high and there's still huge untaped market. Whole new classes of users are comming on-line, thousands upon thousands of people every single day. Broadband internet access is available just about everywhere in Brazil, by most varied means, from ADSL and cable to several nationwide and local high-speed wireless networks. On-line shopping and banking is commonplace in Brazil, there are no cultural barriers whatsoever. Brazilians absolutely love to buy on-line. The only serious issue that needs to be addressed is the need to do everything in portuguese. Brazilians are not comfortable with english and large part of the population uses the internet on daily basis but in portuguese only. I've been running multi-language helpdesk in Brazil (outsourced english/portuguese helpdesk for brazilian sites) for some 6 years and the on-line business culture has developed very strongly in this period. If you felt I could be of help, just drop me a line to gregs.helpdesk@gmail.com :) Greg Hi guys,

Yes, definitely, Brazil is a place to be.

Many Europeans do not identify with the American culture and having all of the technical information necessary for a transaction in the native language of the purchaser would be immensely more profitable.

Brazil is nearing population 200,000,000. Brazil is the country with the second largest computer ownership, and growing. PIB in Brazil this year is expected to grow to 6.5. I am a Brazilian born American. I have, obviously, dual citizenship. I lived 30 years in the US. I have a Post Grad degree in Arts and Literature in English and I speak and write fluently in English. I am making myself available to ClickBank for whatever it may be planning on this issue. Best regards, Gerson Borges Hello

Bob, great article, however, I have one question - if someone is really becomes focused on foreign markets - this would most likely required the product to be translated into the appropriate language - correct? Converting to the right language for Adword campaigns is certainly easy enough, however, are we to assume that our product material should take a similar path? Email for Bob Dunlap.
