    I assume people here are running online businesses. But it'd be interesting to know if you also have offline businesses at the same time or if you started off offline but decided to go online after a couple of years. Anyone care to share their experience on this?

    I used to have a computer repair business way back when I don't even know that I could earn online. I have a problem getting some clients since there are lot of competors around my place and only few people that has computers.

    I've been running a tax and accounting business for quite a few years now. The blogging and such is mostly a hobby. I enjoy it and it pays for itself so I'm happy!

    we actually built an offline business, but about 90% of the service are offered through our websites.

    I do it exclusively online. My "offline" activity ended right when I earned enough money to buy a computer and pay for my broadband contract.
