Seems to me to be a different conversation. What I was endeavouring to say was that small, especially sole operator, firms can think of the bigger companies in their field as competitors, then lie awake at night wondering if they, the small ones, are about to be crushed. Or they (we) can think of those companies as just other choices customers have. One of the advantages the smaller firm often has is to be more flexible, able to adapt and change more quickly. I'm not clear on how cost cutting and savings in a business could lead to more flexibility. Less, I would have thought. Care to explain? @Sam:

I they want something different to whats already available, should a business cater for their requirements? Big organizations may not deviate from a standard services provided because that's not always deemed profitable. Tough economic times are driving cost cutting and savings in all areas of business, and this could lead to more flexibility. Money is money, as long as its profitable from a fiscal or reputation stand point. Isn’t the customer always right?

Having an online business is indeed a matter of persistence over years and sometimes lottery. Having the right product is the essence too. In terms of marketing Gurus, we have seen and will see so many. One of the ones that I have tested and followed(appreciated as well) is Aaron Brandon www.aaronbrandon.com, he seems to know what he is talking about, what you guys feeling about him? Also, how long do you think it takes on average to set up an online business?

It is always a good thing to have choices, but when it comes to making money online it comes down to attitude and persistance. Hi Des!
