I agree with what you said as regards the expectation of people on services rendered online. The internet has given us a lot of option and it is gradually making internet entrepreneurs to look critically at ways of cutting cost. Thanks Ben.

Although the result wasn't what you wanted, the example is a perfect one for what I'll be talking about. Please keep the discussion alive!<br><br>Emmanuel - I don't think it matters if it's an online product or not. I think the type of product can matter.
