A lot of people don't realize that if your business relies completely on someone else's then you aren't going to get very large.

- bbcbasic 12y agoYes it is worse than that, the small biz owner can have the plug pulled on him at any time. Even if he is paying for the advertising - e.g. adwords ban! What she should do now is get as many email addresses as possible from her existing customers and likers of her page, and have an e-zine or followup. This could be in conjunction with a blog. All stuff that is in her control and cannot so easily be pulled away.
- ams6110 12y agoDoes ANYBODY even open emails like that though? I know I never do.
- jkaunisv1 12y agoYeah, some people do. I ignore a lot of them but I always read through the newsletter from my tea store. It's like tea porn and even though I order infrequently I like seeing the pictures.
- bbcbasic 12y agoIt depends. Sure if it is sell, sell, sell people will hit the unsubscribe button. If it is useful information, building a relationship with the reader, maybe the occasional reference to a sold product. Then this may work.
- jacalata 12y agoWell, you might. Mafia wars, etc. You just run the risk of being cut off from your userbase at any time.
- Igglyboo 12y agoTrue, I should have phrased that as "it is not a good idea to grow large if you rely entirely on another company"
