Hi Boyd,

I think it's a tough question, because how do you measure where it's "most valuable"? For example, do you mean salary in US dollars, lifestyle, etc?

I think different people might have different measurements of "value" in this situation....

I think, though, that it doesn't matter where in the world you are in order to sell a downloadable product, or a web site membership. You can be physically located anywhere on Earth, as long as you have a net connection! :)

However, when it comes to physical products (that you actually send through the mail), I think it's an advantage to be in the USA. The USA is the largest buying market over the internet. The reason why it's an advantage to be in the USA because high shipping costs can make shipping from overseas more expensive for heavier items, and there's also more time required to ship as well. You can use order fulfillment companies to get around that - I don't have any experience with those, however.
