The Success Center

Remember back in the days of AOL being the only way you could get online and everyone wanted to sell you something online? A lot has changed since then, but it’s a different online landscape now-a-days. Today things are more social and all that really means is people want to get to know you, interact with you, and then sell you stuff. There’s certainly nothing really wrong with that, but has your perspective on buying online from total strangers changed since then?

I can remember a time when my mom wouldn’t dare pay a bill online or buy some shoes, but now she shops online like there’s no tomorrow. Certainly trust has been earned with companies like Amazon, Paypal, and other major retailers. But is it the same for solo-preneurs or small business owners who sell services or products online in today’s social climate? I don’t know the answer to this question so I want to open it up to you and we’ll meet back here next week to discuss what we come up with. Deal?
