Bloggy Question 63: Taking It to the Streets

A Store and Traffic

For those who come looking for a short, thoughtful read, a blogging life discussion, or a way to gradually ease back into the week. I offer this bloggy life question. . . .

You’ve gotten this online thing under your belt. You know how to get business online . . . well at least you have a start . . .You’re making a modest income from a product or service that you sell. In the tradtion of things Internet, you’ve decided it’s time to turn the model upside down.

Last night while you were out with friends, a buddy offered you a storefront on the main street near your home. It’s an opportunity to bring your product or service back out into the 3-D world. It certainly has applications there. You already have an online base to support what you might start and your friend, a wealthy guy, has offered rent-free for the first year.

It would mean buying furniture and setting up an office where people can come meet you face to face — some of them folks you have known your whole life. The location is great. The traffic is good. The town could use your service.

How do you respond?
