    I am very new to this forum. I have been for the better part of 9 months been picking up and putting down the idea of starting an offline marketing advertising consultant company. Like anything else there are pros, and cons, and million different approaches. I just wanted to get some feedback from the members here about their experiences and whats working and not working; especially the task of getting clients (as this is the life stream of the model, and what you are offering at the same time)

    Thank you in advance for you input

    People are not the same, some are very successful at doing business away from computer but I'm sure most of this forum's visitors have attempted to earn online at least once, or plan to do so if not already earning well in this area. It's a webmasters' forum afterall :)

    Once i start online, i been looking less of offline method. Because it really costly .
    I give up most of flyers. And do focus only on the banner and join any fair campaign.
    Offline , if it able to reach all your target market in one time. Then go for it. If it not really what you want then just ignore it and focus on online.
    Because offline usually costly.

    $150 a day is pretty good, especially if you do this everyday. Certainly, it puts an idyllic image of greatness in my head.

    I have just started a new project which is mainly offline since last couple of months and I am doing good. It is basically getting admissions for students who wanna study abroad. But for this too, I had to work online since last 6 months ;)

    I guess offline business need more time and our attention to it as compare to online business. I am thinking to have one offline business later.

    There are a lot of advantage and disadvantages of offline and online business. For me, if you have small capital, then online business is the best for you. We are very lucky that the internet was discovered as a lot of entrepreneur can engage in SME.

    I've never made much business offline, apart from some friends and relatives from time to time.

    I work offine providing seo, websites, facebook pages etc. Pros - high profit margin on all services especially SEO, Cons - customer service side of things but you can have others do this for you.
