    Hey, i was just mainly wondering if most of us on here are web businesses like affiliates, ads etc or if anyone runs any offline businesses? Just interested really.

    Ive always wanted to run an offline business but the overheads and physical interaction puts me off abit.

    cheers

    .

    I don't have any type of offline business yet but i m thinking to start an office/shop so i can earn from both of side .,:D..if any one line will be in problem so i can easily take over from other side ..;)

    And i think an offline business is more secure then an online.

    both have their advantages and disadvantages i guess offline must rely on a good location for frequent customers, where on the web you have a massive target market.

    id love to own a nightclub or something like that, they make lots of money:p

    yeah web definitley has its advantages that if im ill which is regularly at times i can wake up later to post orders etc as if i had a physical store id need to be their every morning.

    something i miss is social interaction alot of us dont get enough of it sitting at the computer all day.

    We are starting an offline business that seems to be very well invited. The target market: small businesses everywhere! Small businesses NEED an internet marketing service. Small business owners understand that they need to be on the internet, and they are hounded by website developers to put their website up; but most of those are designers and don't know the depth of local internet marketing! That is a huge market! I am currently hiring local sales people and calling local businesses myself. They love the idea!
