Exactly! I get that the start-up costs of an online biz are a fraction of what it would take to start a brick & mortar store (plus, a much smaller financial risk if it doesn’t take off), but you still have to build your business the old fashioned way.

I’m kicking around the idea of an online boutique that sells nail polish, accessories, etc. (yeah, Amanda, you and everybody else) but I know that if I start, there has to be more than just Tweeting a link occasionally. I think that too many people think they can just open an online shop or drop a few affiliate links in and make money. Nope.

Totally! There seems to be this notion that just because the internet makes this faster and easier that it can be magic for building a business, too. But building a brand still takes a lot of time, smart decisions and consistent effort.

Solid! “Life is a marathon, not a sprint” rings true in real life, as well as digital.

Well I’m currently working on starting my own business and am hoping that the work I’ve put into social media over the past few years will prove helpful. Now I need to work on being more consistent. Meanwhile Rob is trying to get himself off the ground with his web design biz and I remember the early days of frustration at trying to drum up a few Twitter followers or blog readers…

Comment on The Psychology of the Twitter Follow by Charlotte

This is great! I have always wondered about the whole Twitter ratio and how some people who aren’t as involved on Twitter get so many followers. I guess I’m naive in thinking that some people only want the numbers and care little about the interaction!

I’d much rather connect with the followers I currently have than have so many, I don’t recognize my feed anymore!

Great post, Liz Good to see you again! XOXO
