You decided to create a new web based business. That’s great! Congratulations! Maybe you decided to focus on writing reviews for click bank products or set up a nifty little website with adsense ads, quite possibly you have taken Potpie Girl’s advice and you are generating a nice little online income with Squidoo. Whatever your strategy is you’re happy because you’re starting to bring in some money. How many people did you actually network with to make that money? I mean…. How many actual telephone conversations or face to face meetings did you have? Many people become very wealthy operating online businesses never communicating with a single sole other than via e-mail, and that is perfectly fine. Let’s look at it from a different perspective.

Let’s say you are experiencing amazing success with Squidoo, which is an excellent way to generate an online income (Potpie Girl’s success is a perfect example of this). I actually have a few lenses myself. Let’s say your entire business is focused on Squidoo, what happens if Squidoo ceased to exist? Would you still have a business? What if Click bank crashed….What if the internet was no more? Would you be in financial ruin? Would you be able to maintain your current lifestyle? Would you be able to pick up the phone and call up internet colleagues, suppliers, or some of those loyal customers to get your business back up and running? Would they know who you are?
If you did make that call would there be enough of a connection with you to continue dealing with you or would it be easy to “forget” to call you back because you are just one of the many nameless, faceless automated internet businesses they have dealt with in the past? Ever wonder how those old family run hardware stores or the Mom and Pop Corner stores continue to exist among huge retailers like Wal-Mart, Home Depot, and Price Club? It’s not the prices…it’s the people. We have an amazing quality that internet robots and spiders don’t have….it’s the personal touch, let’s use it to our advantage! :)
