If people tell you to:-

1. Start a blog & make money! 
2. Join this company! It has a great reward scheme!
3. Start a business!
4. Be a business owner!

I received a spam email offering web design services. Just for fun, I decided to reply the email and ask how much does it take to set up a blog. I was a bit sneaky and wanted to find out the market rate. Who knows, I might also offer such services. It not like rocket science.

The reply I receive is,”We don’t do blogs. We can help you design your website and add a link to a blog site!” Although this is not really a NO, the person missed an opportunity to make some money. If they did 10 minutes of research, or perhaps get someone else to set up a blog and mark up the fee and quoted me, they could have earned some easy money. After all, I could have been a corporate customer with the means to pay a $1,000 or more to set up a blog.

Yes, opens doors of opportunity. No, opens the doors of opportunity to your competitor!
