Hi Dien,

Most of my business comes from the US. I have the odd customer from Canada, France, and the UK, but mostly US. I have found that the prosperity of my business is indirectly proportional to the economy in the US.

For example: 9/11

With people losing jobs, fear of the future and faced with uncertainty, I think it prompts folks to want to develop some sort of backup plan. Develop something that is theirs so they can have a livelihood if they find themselves downsized and without a job.

So if you offer products or services that will offer security, or something that will allow folks to diversify their income, I think you will do well.

I don't see many sites these days that are tailoring their sales letters to this end. But seeing the huge increase in new business over the last year, I'm wondering is this is something I should be testing?

Best Regards,
Steve MacLellan
