    I do. It involves auto insurance (not an agent or anything like that).

    It's boring as well, but the money is nice.

    Do you find that you make more money offline or online?

    when i was in college it was easier with online business because i could work from my dorm.. but now that i graduated (both in terms of business as well as school) its much easier with offline business because i do get investors to invest in businesses and offline businesses has physical assets which online business most of the time does not.

    i am looking to start up a software company actually focused on business management and im getting few investors in for that as well.

    Yup, have what I call a quasi-online business that drives the remainder off our off-line business. I.e. it is a subscription site that has branched out into a print magazine and daily three hour radio show. Thinking about a physical retail store to accompany our online store down the road, but don't want to over-extend myself.

    The online business is the monster that drives it all so it will always be our baby. :)

    The fact is very few businesses can claim to be really "offline" nowadays. Even brick and mortars businesses still have websites (even if they don't sell directly on them), use email to communicate with clients/suppliers etc. which all make them online businesses in a sense.

    Yes, I have a tax and accounting business that is almost 20 years old. I have found that I enjoy creating blogs and forums way more than doing taxes so I am branching out in that direction. I have a business website and that helps a bit with the offline business.
