Is there an opportunity here?
Hi Paul,
Sorry for my slow reply, this week's been busy for me. Many don't know that I also run a successful - very small web site for a very small niche. That niche is quantum optics researchers. (Quantum optics is the study of photons, the quantum nature of light.) My web site is www.quantumoptics.net I just did a big update, that's what took my time. I started it way back in 1995, and it was always meant to be non-profit. But I did have a purpose for it back then. My aim was to promote myself in the quantum optics research world. And it's worked very well! My web site - and my name - are both quite well known in the quantum optics world! It's most definitely "opened doors" for me there.... I guess the POINT is, web sites can be powerful things in ALL KINDS of endeavors! Oh, what were we talking about? Back to the topic at hand! :) > Something just occurred to me. > Is there a developing trend here? > Jim Erskine's "Local Email > Profits" (local businesses advertising > to local customers via email) > John David Bradshaw's INTERNET AUCTION > BASICS 2002 (sellinf offline stuff in online > auctions) > And a myriad of other things from automobile > websites being set up to concentrate on > local customers, to info products explaining > how to use offline sales techniques in > online mediums.

Yes, this seems POWERFUL! And a great opportunity too, especially for those of us who "know the ropes" of both the online and offline worlds.... > Are we finally realizing that the internet > is not just a communication and info > delivery system, but a powerful tool that > can be integrated into almost any business? > Anyone else care to expand on this? One of the powerful aspects of this is that it's not a "one-shot" thing. If it works for one community, it will probably work in hundreds or thousands of communities! What that also means is that there are probably very many under-utilized opportunities of this type out there. For example, someone may be doing some successful local program in Milwaukee, which no-one else knows about. If you can find out about this, it is an opportunity you can reproduce in your own town. I bet there are probably lots of these successful little programs out there that we just don't know about yet.... Hmmm.... - Dien Rice |
