The one thing about the internet is great and very bad at the same time - it is faceless.
You can be whatever you want to be, whoever you want to be. Have you ever thought about what you would like to be if you were not shy?
I was a painfully shy child and teenager. I used to look at the other kids and see something I would love as part of my personality. I am a dreamer - so I would have these daydreams that I am not shy but sparkling and a people magnet. I used to see myself walking into a room full of people and immediately becoming the centre of attention.
After school I made a decision to fake it till I make it. I simply acted as if I was not shy. Eventually I realized it was not my shyness that held me back, it was confidence. I also realized that people have always been drawn to me - but not because of my sparkling personality but because I am a good listener (because I was shy and did not have the confidence to speak I listened and that was a great side effect)
It is OK to be shy but are you shy in every aspect of your life? If you are good at something you will have confidence and you will notice when confidence walks in shyness takes a hike. If you are not good at approaching people and selling to them the internet is the perfect place to do so. When you place an advertisement most of the people that sees it is not going to react, they are going to reject the idea but you won't even know it - all you will know is the people that reacted and who is interested to hear what you have to say / sell to them. Even then you still do not talk to them face to face. You can be the best salesperson in the world.
As far as the internet savvy is concerned - you will learn what you need to know. When I bought my 1st desktop the guy that delivered it had to set it up for me and then he had to show me how to start it!! Today I can help myself but there is so much more to learn and as soon as I think I know it all it turns out while I was learning this there were 10 more developments that took place and it will keep on happening because the internet changes all the time as IT developers develop new technology. Even a new state of the art laptop is outdated before the warranty expires.
Do not be scared to play around to learn skills and your shyness is not valid when you sit behind your computer - then you are THE ONE + a little extra.
Even the OROS man can sell himself as Mr World over the internet.
