Yes it is true, i have found that after a week or so of advertising to my clients online, the best thing is to bring them offline. People are willing to pay much more for a real book, or a cd, rather than a video on youtube or ebook.

Consider asking for your clients names, address and phone number so you can build a better business with them.

This is an interesting post, moneymagnet23

I guess one of the stumbling blocks to offline business is the cost in producing a real book or cd. Is there a way around this? I imagine it's easier to do produce cds then a book - unless it was in some sort of 'office binder' format.

Then there is also the added cost of post and packaging...

But I guess you compare this to demand, sales conversions, and, as you mentioned, a willingness to pay a higher price. As well as the fact that copyright infringements are less likely with material goods.

I must admit, as a consumer, I prefer something you can consult without needing access to the internet or a computer.

Moneymagnet23 - has your experience revolved around selling books and/or cds? And can you give approximate differences in sales between online and offline methods?

That'd be great!

Thanks,

JSq

But it might incur some shipping cost, if your customers are located overseas.

Yes there might be some shipping costs, but that cost can be past along.

Of course there is money to be made with offline products, but I don't know if it can be said people will pay more for it. I think it comes down to what the person perceives as the value of what they are getting. For examples videos put on a DVD are no better than access the video online, and one end us incurring shipping cost that are unnecessary.

But One has to love the beauty of online products. Instant access to
products and services is great. And for the seller, product is cost are small allowing profits to be increased. People are going to buy a product/service based on what it offers and their need. How they get it may not matter as much.

But the power of the internet affords you the flexibility of profiting from distribution of physical and virtual/digital products. Either way is Awesome.

HI, There is benefit on both business method.

With online business, it is cost effective. You don't have to worry

about shipping as a buyer, you willl get right away.

A Benefit for offline business would be, you can have actual product

in your hands.

What you can see, and what you can touch are different from

online business.


So, I recommend both way, if you run them side by side,

that's going to be perfect!!

Thank you


Happy day~^^
