The Evolution of the online business

Having retired I no longer market a product or promote an opportunity.

However as an Anthropologist, I am interested in the Social Darwinism of The Internet as we go into the 21st Century (which from my point of view is The Future).

I am currently following three businesses that use the Internet to Market their products and services.

The first is Sapphire's SFI business.
Sophia is a Home Business Entrepreneur who was a leader in Network Marketing and now runs her business through Internet marketing, as UK rep for SFI (Strong Future International).

The second is Jon Tees, who is a Network Marketer selling through his site Jon Tees.Net. Jon uses his site to sell his products and services offline.

The third is the White Tiger Martial Arts aka White Tiger Combat Academy aka Shiro Tora Budo Kai.

is by it's nature an offline business. It cannot "trade" online, people have to go to the classes. Of course they have a website: http://shirotoratiger.blogspot.com/

These days everyone needs one, and their offline ad carries the website address.
Students visit the website, which is in the style of a blog, to recieve updated information on clubs activities and events.

Their offline advertising involves, posters, leaflets and ads in phone book and local papers.

I am currently monitoring these three businesses and will keep readers up to date with their progress, so everyone else can benefit from the results.
