Since I have to be myself in order to make my business work, my passion is to connect with people. Sometimes you can initially do this, but eventually you will need to make further contact in order to keep connecting. Thanks for pointing this out so well.

Keep the good stuff coming. I’m learning a lot.

Thanks for Your efforts. Chip

Online marketing is still new to me, but I’ve seen the power of connecting with people online. It seems like relationship building is the common factor in old school and online marketing techniques. I agree with your point that selling online is getting harder because of increased spammy practices and consumers’ growing mistrust. I like the offline networking: meeting new people, developing a relationship that can grow into a partnership or client. I realize it takes a combination to build an online presence.

I appreciate your tips, Dave. You and Dawn are leading the way for those of us who are building successful and ethical businesses.

Take care,
Larry

Thanks for inviting me to visit your group, and for the opportunity of airing my thoughts on your comments. Yes i agree with you that both methods of marketing has it’s place in the scheme of things.

We have heard it said so many times. There are examples of people having come online and joined some company that promised them a lot but did not deliver, half or any at all of what was promised.

Whose fault is it, what happened? did the business owners deliberately set out to trick somebody, or is it a case that the newbie just did not understand what was imparted to them so there fore they could not make a success of it,

Now after trying for a while and their goals are not achieved, these persons would naturally become a bit sceptical when some body else comes along to sell them this wonderful opportunity that is the best thing since Slice Bread,

In most instances they would have lost some money that they could not afford to, in the first place, just trying to make that big or even moderate break,

It stand to reason that these persons would become more suspicious as time went by,even to the point of passing up some really good opportunities that could give them a headstart to finally realising their dreams.

On the other hand if i know you personally Dave, and you said to me Carol this is a good program, i have been a part of it for so long and the Administrators are honest and really wants to see you progress. So you can work with them.

In that second scenario as long as i was looking for a business, or even if i wasn’t ,but the fact that i know you and you are recommending this programe. Then i would certainly be more inclined to join.

Let us not forget that even though we know many persons Family and Friends included, they might not want or have the time to be bothered with maintaining a business online,
considering it’s hard work and quite time consuming,

So the only people who will do it are the Marketers who are commited to it and is in for the long haul. But definately many of the experts have taught that the only way to become successful online is to combine both methods.

So Question , Who came first the Chicken or the Eggs:)
