Update on 2018 post, 2023 OPPORTUNITIES.

Thanks Dien.

I'm bi. Bi-line. Make moolah on-line, information. Make money OFF-line, transactions.

Online I like, in fact, only want DIGITAL products. And within this a relationship, as I have with the thousands of SowPubbers/Warriors/Others over the decades. I see and recognize names today, who bought a digital product from me 20 years ago.

Offline, it is TRANSACTIONAL. I don't need nor even want to know your name, if you are selling, here is my money. If I am selling, show me the money (in my best Jerry Maguire voice). Lets make a deal, a transaction.

Two very different models. I don't want a store. I don't want customers, clients or consumers. I want TRANSACTIONS, and there is so much stuff to do this with, not enough time in the day...so thank goodness, I know how to find STORED VALUE and take it to the market and collect my share.

An exception might be, if I fired up the old ON DEMAND publishing idea...where I actually printed and mailed out the product. Although, it would have to be an absentee thing for me.

I'm not opposed to new ideas, it is hard to beat the tried, tested and proven ways.

DIGITAL online.

TRANSACTIONS offline. You got something better? Do tell.

Definitely inspirational and eye-opening!

One thing I'm planning to do in 2023 is get involved with Etsy... Especially selling "digital downloadables"...

Interesting what can be done...
