Traditional Business VS a Non-Traditional Business

in #business7 years ago

I have worked in many fields since I was 16 years old. I finally got my Traditional business up and going again here in California. I started in 2001 in Chicago and did very well. Now I started doing MLM's in 2007 with a good friend of ours and have been in different ones since. I still order from the previous ones I have been in, but as far as the business part of them I do not do them. Now, what I have learned is that there are a lot of people who do a lot better in a Traditional business setting than in a Non-Traditional business setting and vice versa.
Here are some questions I am curious about.
What is your take on the Traditional vs Non-Traditional business settings? What works for you?
What kind of advertising do you use for your business?
How do you get people on board a Non-Traditional business knowing that there are so many competitors out there?
What do you look for in a person to get them on board a Non-Traditional business?
What do you do when a Person is interested in a Non-Traditional business, but does not have the money to actually get it started, BUT can get people to join in because it is something their friends and family do anyway?
