Great Message on how to pick your "Opportunity"
While most "offline" work is not "sweaty" LOL...this does bring up the fact that you have to put in some work and offer something of value to have a sustainable "offline" business
Getting some skills - web design, seo, advertising, sales,phone skills, email marketing, social media, mobile apps or whatever you plan to "offer" is vital IMHO
You can't expect others to go out and sell for you if you can't sell yourself
You can't expect business owners to buy something that is pretty much worthless -
If you want sustainable business you need to deliver value, get referrals, keep customers happy
To get experience - you can work for other - it is easy to get a part time job in sales and /or phone sales.
You can offer something along with your main offer on commission - let's say you sell
websites and mobile - you can hook up with a wholesale printer and/or a coupon or local magazine and if a biz is not interested in your "primary" offer you can let them know about the other - commission add up. The "other" company may even give you training and tips you can use in your endeavors
Finding a "niche" you know and have some contacts in is also a good way to start.
Since it is "offline" - you can use it to your advantage and actually meet potential clients face to face and network
some things I do NOT understand - people who just want to make money, who offer stuff they have no expertise in and who try to do "offline" long distance before they establish themselves
Put on those overalls - like Thomas Edison said
