Most of us wanted to be "the boss" especially on things that involve money-generating activities. We always see to it that we not only earn something but also enjoy what we're doing. It has been a "big" confusion as which type of business would be of more profit and with efficient massive market; online or have it offline business?

Not all people are cut for online type of business. I have experienced that in my years of helping people start their own business on the Internet. A lot of people are being attracted to the lure of starting a profitable online business, but when they get there, they discover they're not cut for it. Although there are many advantages in starting an online type of business than an offline one, it is easier to succeed offline than in the online world for some people, so it depends on the individual, what is his or her personality, talents and skills. Internet marketing is a very tricky world. Gone are the days when people think having a dot com name alone is enough to power business success.

I agree with you. Online business is not for everyone. For some people, starting offline business is much easier than starting online business. Personally, I have been trying to make money online for years and I am not successful. I am still earning pennies or cents. It is not easy to earn money online. By the way, you mentioned that you help people to start online business. may I know what is your job?

I think it depends on the product and the person. Some products as well as some people are better suited to an offline business while other products and people do better online.
